Driver Seat Changes
So Williams is shaking it up, keeping RB though, wow, RB goes yet one more year, he really is the energizer bunny.

Looks like Renault may not be getting Kimi
Dam, I was hoping KR would go to Renault, then Ferrari could pick up one of those drivers and fire FM's asss...
'Disappointed' Kubica suggests Renault needed a driver like Raikkonen
Crash.net Wed, 20 Oct 12:11:11 2010
Robert Kubica has reflected that he was both 'disappointed' and 'surprised' that Kimi Raikkonen elected not to pursue his negotiations with Renault F1 regarding a potential top flight return in 2011 – conceding that he would have liked the opportunity to be able to measure himself against a former world champion in the same car, and arguing that a driver of the Finn's undoubted calibre would have been just what the team 'needs'.

I don't think Kimi will race for any team other than Ferrari; in the future.
Hopefully I will eat my own words if he decides to make a comeback. Its not like he's doing any good at WRC, unless he's happy with citroen and being in the middle

i think kimi is happy driving in the wrc. the promotional stuff he is doing for citroen is not as great as it was for ferrari and oh yeah, he still gets paid by ferrari.
i still wish he would return to f1.
williams taking on maldonado is about money. they need backers and moldonado brings more to the table than hulkenberg could. maybe hulkenberg ends up with a better seat, maybe at red bull or along side kobayashi at sauber.

Hulkenberg is no scrub. He's pedigreed in the grand fashion of a certain Mengele designed driver name Schumacher. Same sponsors, same manager. He'll either be driving in Mercedes if Schu goes, or Ferrari. Most likely Ferrari because Massa is all but gone.

I hope he comes back, but if he were to come back with a smaller team he would need financial backing. At the same time he wouldn't go to a team that wouldn't be contending for the title. Hopefully he doesn't ask for a high paycheck. I would like to see a RK/KR or SV/KR combo. Just some wishful thinking....

the mexican driver is backed by Telmex the telecom giant. I hate how money is controling even the midpack teams (not just the small teams) in their drivers' choices
