    Now that we know Schumi is out (forever?), and that Badoer's performance has left virtually everyone disappointed, who do you think should get this ride? There's lots of talent on the sidelines.

    Here's a list of F1 drivers I'd consider potential drivers:

    - Anthony Davidson
    - David Coulthard
    - Jacques Villeneuve
    - Tonio Liuzzi
    - Takumo Sato

    Ferrari would likely be able to land any of these guys, who are vastly more experienced at driving an F1 car in race conditions than their current test drivers.

    I hope they make a change soon. P3 in the Constructors and damage to the brand are at risk with Badoer doing the driving.

    Who else would you put on the list? What about GP2 drivers? Grosjean has obviously proven that he's pretty fast, especially for his first outing in the car.

    None of those listed have current wheel time in cars that are under the 2009 rules. They would have to learn how the car behaves on the track and would be quite slow until they learn the cars behaviors.

    That's true, but other than the 2 top drivers for each team, nobody has wheel time behind 2009 cars. Testing has pretty much gutted that. There's lots of F1 racing experience there, which I think is an advantage, compared to guys who have never driven an F1 car in anger.

    Call in Bourdais and Piquet. See who is better. Pick one of them. Easiest solution. I just realized that with no testing Badoer hasn't driven an F1 car in almost a year. Talk about rusty.

    I'd really like to see Ant Davidson in a competitive car. He's had some amazing drives in the crap-box Super Aguri. It's too bad he doesn't (yet) have a full time ride.

    I'd support JV returning on the strict condition that he not wear those damned droopy drawers racing suits. The guy looks like one of those bums with a skateboard I avoid when I have to go to the mall.

    That was my mistake. I made a post to the other thread apologizing. I didn't realize from the title that it was about the drivers. Then I looked. Sorry.

    I disagree. That was a few years ago. With TC and all, IIRC. If Ferrari are looking to replace Badoer, it had to be SeaBass at least.
