Rumours

[Tazio]

That said, Kubica is the man Ferrari should get.

The plumber seems to not be willing to dispute that!

BMW boss Mario Theissen accepts that Robert Kubica has attracted considerable interest as a result of his first career victory in Montreal, but he insists that the team are in ‘no rush’ to announce their driver line-up for 2009.

Robert Kubica has become one of the hottest properties on the driver market following his Canadian triumph, the latest ’silly-season’ rumours linking the Pole to Ferrari for next year

Thats an interesting way to say that you haven't come to contractual terms with the Kube!

Coulthard muses 'plans' for life after F1
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/190620...s-life-f1.html

David Coulthard may be warming to the idea that his long career in formula one is nearing an end.
The German specialist magazine Auto Motor und Sport claims that "only a miracle" will now prevent Red Bull Racing from fielding its preferred lineup of Mark Webber alongside Sebastian Vettel in 2009.
Asked about the speculation, Scot Coulthard, who has contested 236 Grand Prix, coyly replied : "I have plans for the future."

How seriously should we take this rumour? :

Positive for Renault. If Alonso really leaves, then at least they would get one decent driver with the returning Heikki.

There are some aspects about this rumours that are debatable though.
Why should McLaren surely prefer Rosberg over Kovalainen? I think neither of them have quite lived up to the expectations so far this year, although better things may be expected from the future.

And another suspicious thought. Although Willi Weber is surely a well-informed person, then he is also the manager of Hülkenberg, the testdriver of Williams, and surely in talking about Rosberg's departure he has his interests for that vacant Williams drive.

But what can be said quite obviously is that Nico has recently been quite critical about Williams and maybe the tensions will get stronger, which end in parting ways. Just an assumption.

I sort of hope that this doesn't happen right now. Kovalainen's not really been given a proper shot yet. He's been very quick on occasions but had his races ruined, often not his fault. I guess that it's easiest to remember the last race where he qualified well (ok, on pole) and had a good shot, but was completely outclassed by his teammate. But there were hard conditions there, perhaps a more normal race would favour him.
Also, as much as Nakajima's exceeded my expectations, a lineup of Nakajima and Hulkenberg would probably be the worst on the grid.

Here is wot I've Heard:

Ferrari: Raikkonen & Massa (Alonso?, Kubica?, Schumacher?)
McLaren: Hamilton & Kovalainen (Kubica?, Heidfeld?, Rosberg?)
BMW: Heidfeld & Kubica (Alonso?, Kovalainen?, Massa?,)
Renault: Alonso & Piquet (Grosjean?, Massa?, Di Grassi?, Heidfeld?, Webber?)
Williams: Rosberg & Nakajima (or Hulkenberg?, Kobayashi?, Pantano?)
Red Bull: Coulthard & Webber (Vettel?, Alonso?, Doornbos?)
Toyota: Trulli & Glock (Kobaysahi?, Heidfeld?, Nakajima?,)
Toro Rosso: Vettel & Bourdais (Senna?, Aleshinquin?, Buemi?, Chandhok?)
Honda: Button & Barrichello (Alonso?, Andretti?, Patrick?, Massa?, Sato?)
Force India: Fisichella & Sutil (Davidson?, Pantano?, Chandhok?,)
