Per plagiarizing another thread; http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headline...07091622.shtml "Williams is planning an all-new line-up of reigning GP2 champion and rookie Nico Hulkenberg alongside Rubens Barrichello, with the latter Brazilian to be replaced at Brawn by Nico Rosberg." Frank once again is either the training ground for new talent or last stop before the pasture for old. Nico Hulkenberg is a real talent and future Winner. Hope Frank made some coin off of Nico's transfer to Brawn. Nakajima ? Hope he enjoyed the ride.
Looking forward to see the incredible Hulk finally in F1. Much more than looser Senna who probably will get a seat as well in 2010. Rosberg to Brawn will finally help him get onto the podium he so deserves.
Andreas, Bruno just missed getting a seat at that Brawn, do you think had he got the seat he would have had his first GP Win by now, as opposed to Rosberg?
Interesting question and I guess we can only answer it once he has some F1 car. But my guess would be no. I dont think highly of him, another one living off a great name. Better than "I am the victim" Piquet Jr. (that's not saying much), but no Villeneuve and definitely no Rosberg (who I think is actually better than his father).
I dunno... I think the pecking order in 2010 will be much different than it was this year. I expect McLaren and Ferrari to regain their places near the front, as well as Toyota and Renault. I expect Red Bull and STR to fall back and I also think Brawn will inevitably be mid-pack next year if they are lucky.
Andreas, sometimes I think that Nico is better than Keke as well, but sometimes he seems a bit lack luster. Keke took the bull by the horns and never had the best car, when he had the opportunity through circumstances though he came through to win the WDC in 1982, unlike the way Button is making a bit of a mess of it right now.
I agree that Brawn will probably not be able to keep pace with Ferrari and Mclaren, but I think Red Bull will continue to do well. They have Vettel and Adrian Newey. His was the only car at the beginning of the season to compete with the defuser cars. His designs will continue to improve. Renault, mid pack this year with Alonso, I don't think will be any better next year, I am also not feeling that Kubica is as good as he seemed in 2008. Toyota, I think, need a top driver and then they would get somewhere.
I love this combo of drivers. Not gonna win a championship, but Rubens seems like the kind of guy that will help develop a young driver. I hope Hulkenburg has better luck than the rookies from this year.
