Ferrari:
Of course they will keep their current line up, its won them numerous championships.
BAR:
This is a toughy all becasue of Button, If williams get a proper engine, he will move, if they get honda, he will prob just stay put since BAR have a better aero package, 2nd driver would most prob be Sato since Honda would want a Japanese in their leading team.
Replacements: Anthony Davidson (He is their test driver after all), Massa (perhaps), Wurz (consistant)
Renault:
Alonso will stay for sure, they have given him his best season by far and he loves the team, as for the 2nd drive its a toughy again because Fisi has really underachieved this season and i dont see flavio holdin on to him (remember trulli last yr??).
Replacements: Davidson (did beat shumy last yr in practice), de la rosa (done well this yr in McLaren), Trulli (outsider but possible)
Williams:
Webber will stay because he has no where else to go quite simply even if they do burn his arse. I see hiedfeld moving to BMW (german to a german team) so williams will want to bring someone in that his fairly young and bring them up as william's brain child.
Replacements: Davidson (offered a test for the seat last yr), Wurz (wasnt he in the test for the seat aswell?) massa (young, not scared of a battle, remenisence of senna)
McLaren:
I dont see this line up changing at all, raikkonen wouldnt leave for any money at all since he knows he has the best car right now and JPM has now finally got working with the car and i see bright times ahead... I could see however Hakkinen coming back as their test driver... he wants to come back into F1 dont he??
BMW:
They will most deffinatly go for Heidfelt, he is on top of his game and a german driver with a german manufacturer is what they are looking for. Second driver is alot more of a mystery.
Replacements:Ralf (but he has been so inconsistant this year), then again Massa has pulled in some impressive drives for Sauber this year (monoco was great till he was put out by JV) or possibly even Liuzzi (although red bull will not exactley be happy to get rid of him)
Red Bull:
DC has signed on for another year wich is great news for the team, second driver is a close thought contest.
Replacements: Klien, Liuzzi or Scott Speed (was offered to drive the red bull for testing in Canada and USA)
Toyota:
They will want to keep hold of Trulli who has been putting in great single lap qualifying sessions, i believe they could work on his race pace alot next year aswell. For the second drive it should be Ralf... just but there could be a sniff of a chance for Davidson if BAR wont have him.
Midland:
Their 2 current drivers, Karthikayan and Montero i do not see driving for them next year, if they want to move on in F1 they need an experienced driver and a young driver, now their experienced driver could be a real comeback in the name of Eddie Irvine which is a real longshot but if he was intrested in buying them, maybe hes intrested in racing for them (jordan did give him his break in F1) or maybe even Mika Hakkinen (dont see tht happen although) as for their young driver theres alot of talent in GP2 and it wouldnt surprise me if they snatch someone from there.
Minardi:
Albers has done well for what he has under him and it would think the smart decition is to keep him, as for friesacher im not entirely sure..he could stay, he could go we will have to wait and see. Minardi are acustome to giving talented drivers their break in F1 (Alonso and Webber both drove for them in their first years) and maybe they would find a 19 yr old with ounces of talent and give them their break in F1.
So this leaves JV, theres the door, use it bud.
That just what i think im sure not everyone will agree but oh well
