Renault have "questions" over their continued involvement in F1 - fact.
Could the new Merc/Brawn team just be waiting for Renault to decide what to do and thus possibly release Robert Kubica from his contract????? He would be a very good choice, and a drive for Brawn would be better than Renault IMHO.
If Renault continue then Brawn will name their 2nd driver, my money is on Nick Heidfeld.

Yep I agree with you on all that, if Brawn wanted Nick Heidfeld they would have signed him already so he's definitely not the first choice.
I think they wanted Kimi Raikkonen, and that's still an option, but there are also rumours going around that an announcement that he has joined the citroen WRC team is imminent.
There's also the rumours about Michael Schumacher, which could have truth in them but to me it's an outside possibility. If true they could be waiting to see whether he will definitely commit, or that he is fit enough to take on the role.
The final option is Kubica is Renault pull out, and that's why they've said they may wait till xmas before making an announcement (as that's as long as they probably feel comfortable leaving it without 2 confirmed drivers, and Renault should have decided by then whether they're in or out)

I think this Prodrive thing will probably happen, which means Kubica will go to Mercedes - Nick Heidfeld will stay at the new Sauber I'd imagine.

The company doing the Donington stuff has gone bust. In theory someone else could take that over, but it seems unlikely to me.

23-10-2017, 06:24 AM #16The 2010 calendar has to be sorted by December 9th, supposedly, and I fear we're going to end up with no British GP for next year. Perhaps a long-term deal can be worked out with Silverstone to bring it back there for 2011 and beyond ?

The whole Donington thing is silly, moving the GP away from London is not a good move, plus Silverstone is one of the world's greatest racing circuits. I hate Bernie, he's a t**t, especially with the talk of F1 moving to pay TV from 2014 onwards.......

23-10-2017, 08:59 AM #18Silverstone have a meeting with the old man BE on the 6th apparently. This will be the end of F1 in England or a 10 year deal at Silverstone IMO.

I'm glad I went a few years ago and got to experience the amazing atmosphere, it'll be a real shame if it disappears.

This is why the French GP was lost.
