If I was a team owner I would take Dixon and Castroneves.
The only thing I would be doing with Rice would be ordering it as a side dish with my sweet and sour pork.
Vitor is a pretty good driver, wouldnt say he's underrated - he has had a good few years in good equipment, is pretty inconsistent and hasnt won a race after competing in a ton of them. Yes, agreed the slower pit work has played a factor in a few races this year - but only a few. He hasnt qualified well this year and has had to battle mid pack a lot because of this. Panther are getting a much better driver in Dan Wheldon. Rest assured Panther want 'wins', not just the odd 'solid finish'.
Some team will snap him up - probably not as good a ride as Panther though.Go the ALL BLACKS !

Although it would be nice to see Vitor at Ganassi I think Chip will put Lloyd in the seat with him being on contract anyways. I was kind of hoping that RLR would have two cars and hire Vitor back! Someone has to pick him up.
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
