If they're looking for a long-term replacement then I think who knows! It's too late for Villeneuve, and Renault and Raikkonen didn't exactly hit it off a while ago so I don't see that happening. Given that they seem to be a team on the up I would have thought Renault will want an experienced driver who can step right in and be up to speed quickly. For me that would be Heidfeld.
It'll have to be for the season now by the looks of it
