2009 Grid Predictions
What are your predictions for the grid line up for the 2009 Australian Grand Prix?
Mine
Ferrari: Massa & Raikkonen
McLaren: Hamilton & Kovalainen
BMW: Kubica & Alonso (I just think it will happen, personally)
Renault: Piquet & Di Grassi (Di Grassi over Grosjean, sadly)
Toyota: Trulli & Glock
Red Bull: Vettel & Webber
Toro Rosso: Bourdais & Sato (I don't think that Senna or Buemi are quite ready)
Williams: Rosberg & Heidfeld (Nick back to Williams, Kazuki gone)
Honda: Button & Barrichello
Force India: Fisichella & Pantano (I think Giorgio could just get a seat)
I think this is what could happen, which would mean there is only 1 debutant Di Grassi, and that Nakajima and Sutil follow Coulthard out of the F1 door. But this is just my thought.

Not many changes, but I dont think Heidfeld is going anywhere. If there is any change at BMW, it'll be Kubica who'll leave.

The most probable scenario is that all the line-ups are the same as in 2008 except that Vettel moves to Red Bull and Buemi or Senna replaces him at STR.
Well, in this case the line-ups of eight teams remain the same... A bit boring, TBH - would like to see more changes. : Therefore I hope Alonso goes at least somewhere (even Honda!), but won't stay at Renault again.
Among those eight teams there is also a possibility that Bourdais will be replaced by Sato and Piquet could be replaced by someone... tough call between Grosjean and di Grassi.
I don't think Kubica will leave BMW as Ferrari's seats are locked - where could he go? Nowhere.

Seems a lot of people agree Heidfeld is on the move.
He was starting after very long break, with brand new codriver and brand new car, where he was trying to find correct setup suitable for him. And he had health issues before start of the rally. On...
