de Ferran's got the connections to pull an operation togeather, that's for sure. Dixon actually seems kind of likely if he gets replaced by Danica at Ganassi (don't know why they'd do that but hey ho). Second car, Pagenaud would probably be first choice but he doesn't have any money... Sato would be a fantastic driver to have, severely underrated and tremendeously entertaining. Don't know why Piquet would want to go to IRL - and kill his F1 ambitions - but Junqueira would be a neat choice.

Common wisdom is that PKJR's career appears to be done if Senior doesn't buy into Sauber when BMW pulls out at the end of the year. His Formula 1 ambitions, like Mike Conway, Sebastien Bourdais and others will more than likely go unfulfilled.

Can't say for sure what this means but the ICS qualifications were just prior to the ALMS race. As I walked to pit lane and past the DeFerran timing stand I saw Tony Kanaan talking with Robert Clark while Dario talked to John Anderson and Dixon was talking with DeFerran. Could they all be looking??

I can't see Ganassi dropping the championship leader for Danica.
I always assumed that she was going into a third car if she was going there.

After deFerran/Pagenaud won the ALMS race, both Castro-Neves and Matos were in the pits to congratulate him.
