And , not that I have any particular issue with the Russian driver , but it presents as a dark cloud over the team , especially now , being British .
So , dropping him would be a patriotic win , at the same time as picking up the great press for a Kubica comeback .
I would think that when all is said and done , it could refill whatever void is left after an SMP withdrawal .
I'd bet Rosberg is working hard , as I write this , to work out the details to get this done .
As for the car , cooling issues killed it .
Expect new venting all over it , and a much more representative next race .
