Thread: !!!F1 Latest silly season rumors!!!

Nick Heidfeld to Williams GPE for 2010.

Newly crowned GP2 Champion Nico Hulkenberg to Williams GPE for 2010.

2 Germans? sounds like Williams are pushing hard, or may have already signed a Mercedes engine supply contract.

We already know about Hamilton and Raikkonen at McLaren.

"McLaren has never had the philosophy of specifying a number one," Whitmarsh said. "We want to have the best available drivers in our cars"

Alonso to Ferrari = old news.

Toyota may still yet pull out of F1. Currently they have not yet signed their current, or other drivers leading to speculation that they will withdraw from F1. The other possibility is they will continue in F1 with two new drivers.

Brawn GP refuses to announce their 2010 driver line up until season end. Speculation is that Nico Rossberg will be the team mate to Jenson Button, with Rubens Barachello retiring or looking for another drive.

Bruno Senna - nephew of multi world champion Ayrton Senna, is working to secure an F1 ride in 2010

Sebastian Loeb WRC champion is pushing hard for a Torro Rosso contract for 2010.

Where will Robert Kubica go? No rumors on that one yet.

What about no USF1 team next year....
I wish Bob would go to USF1 so I could root for them.

thanx for the update T!

anything from the newer teams like USF1 and Lotus ???

3 drivers for williams? Nico H, Nick H, and Rubens?

^^^Just the latest rumors. Who knows if they put Hulkenburg on a development contract, or if they will sign Barachello in place of one of the other choices.

Edit: sounds like they are gunning for Barichello and Hulkenburg for race seats which leaves Heidfeld out.


Robert Kubica is in discussions with Renault.

so as of now trulli, glock, heidfeld, nakajima and heikki has no drive yet for 2010?

cant wait to see what unfolds in the next few weeks

The new teams on the block: Campos, USF1, Lotus and Manor have not even mentioned their driver line ups yet. But they need to build cars first.

I believe Manor racing is the team that Virgin Atlantic will be the title sponsor of. They will still have signage on the Brawn cars, but in a reduced capacity. Brawn's upgraded partnership with Mercedes may see the cars painted silver.

Don't foget Villenueve wants to get back into F1 =

Bruno Senna and Sebastian Loeb are looking for a drives, and I'm sure there will be more "new" drivers that bring money which is an attractive proposition to the new teams. Lots of changes gonna happen between now and March 2010!
