Luca Filippi to join Super Aguri for 2008?
As you may know Super Aguri haven't announced there driver line-up yet. It was first thought that they will keep Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson for 2008, but money issues has hit Super Aguri and it now seems that Luca Filippi will replace one of the two, probaly Anthony (as Takuma had a stunning season and still has potental). Luca will bring excitement for the team and has been testing for Honda, he could become a point scorer if he was to join Super Aguri. There is also a slight chance that Sakon Yamamoto will re-join the team as he has a lot of money behind him aswell.
So what do you think about this situation?

If I'm Honda I'd be doing exactly that. Putting a young guy in the Super Aguri and letting him learn whilst being evaluated for a factory drive.
It's not good news for Davidson as Sato is unlikely to get the boot and I think Honda would have given Davidson a factory seat by now if they ever really intended to.
If I was Ross Brawn I would ask Rubens to either move to a testing role or retire and do everything to put Kovalainen in the car. If I couldn't get the Finn I would move Sato into the factory team alongside Button with Davidson and somebody like Filippi in the Super Aguris.Forza Ferrari!!

Of course, if this is true that Filippi replaces ant, then ant might get the task of Honda test driver again, and help improve their car. I don't feel so good

I have seaky suspicion that Barrichello is gone.
next to RS, and Albers last year, he was least deserving of an F1 seat.
He basically got it of the strentgh of his personal relationship with the former Honda Head.
I would say that given a choice between Davidson and Rubens, Brawn would be wise to buy out Rubens andplace either Sato or Davidson ni that seat.
Has trulli been confirmed for Toyota?you can't argue with results.
