Sounds like Rubens Barrichello may be driving for Gil de Ferran at Sebring next year. Considering he out-shinned Button this season I wonder if that's it for his F1 career.

doubt it. that privateer would have to have $$$$ to spend. and not sure audi would want a crappy team running their cars and losing.

Only chance would be the owner of Champion Motorsports.

Not sure what Courage you've seen but to my eye there is more WR & Peugeot influencing the design than Courage.
