    Ralf is testing for Spyker successor Force India in Jerez in December. Other candidates for the second cockpit (Sutil will likely get the first one) are Christian Klien, Vitantonio Liuzzi, even Fisichella (depending on what happens over at Renault) and the two new Force India test drivers Roldan Rodriguez (Spain) and Giedo van der Garde (Netherlands). Force India is, beside Super Aguri, the only team left for Ralf, my guess is that he'll drive for them one year and then goes to the DTM...


    Edit: Can a Mod please edit the title? Somehow missed to finish "Fisichella", thanks :)

    I think that Klein will probably be the quickest. Anyone wonder why this guy Rodriguez even has any chance of an F1 Ride? The guy has shown very little in GP2 and was basically mediocre throughout his undistinguished career. The F1 Sites keep mentioning his name in this car, and I can't even understand why unless he brings a lot os Spanish Gold with him.

    I honestly don't know why Force India or any other team would want Ralf driving for them, especially when they have all these young, talented drivers around...........

    Ralfie is milking his last name for all it's worth!!

    Leaving now wouldn't be graceful, he got kicked out of a **** team. I think he wants to prove something. Who knows maybe he's still got it.

    What's more important is how much sponsorship you can get if Schumaher drives for you.

    well, if he doesn't do well at races, they should punish him and put him as a steward in Vijay's Kingfisher Airline..

    I know for a fact the Ralf will end up with Force India because of the relationship Mallaya has with Ralf and Micheal. Remember he sponsored both Micheal and Ralf in their early days of F1.

    He did?

    I thought it was Willy Weber who bought Michael's test drive with Jordan.

    Andreas, I though I saw KingFisher on MS's suits when he was at Benetton, but can't remember.
