I'd love to see Senna do well, especially if it is in a Honda, but he did not impress me a whole lot this year. He was better than most of the others, but it was not as apparent as it should have been. Potential is not enough anymore (see Mark Webber, Jenson Button).
Buemi is a hot pick for STR because he is the best available driver with the first name Sebastien...

Actually if you watched all of GP2 this year....Lucas di Grassi was the class of the field.

Lucas di Grassi has emerged as the leading contender to replace Nelson Piquet at Renault next year if the French car manufacturer decide to drop the Formula One rookie, autosport.com has learned.
Although Piquet has scored one podium finish with a fortunate second place in the German Grand Prix, he has been unable to find the pace to match the team's number one driver Fernando Alonso.
Piquet did not help his cause when he crashed out of the Singapore Grand Prix last weekend - although ironically his error played a key part in helping Alonso triumph.
Sources close to the team claim that Piquet has not done enough to justify a second season with the team, and his situation was not helped when di Grassi impressed Renault with a solid three-day run during the recent Jerez test.
It is understood di Grassi not only did well in terms of his overall speed in Jerez but also shone in the swift way he got up to speed, as well as his positive attitude towards the team.
Renault boss Flavio Briatore is currently considering what to do about his 2009 driver line-up, although any final decision does depend on whether Fernando Alonso decides the stay with the team.
Sources have revealed that Briatore has already offered Piquet to Scuderia Toro Rosso for next year, but it is understood the team are not interested unless there is a big financial incentive.
If Toro Rosso do not take up the offer, then Piquet could well be consigned to just a test driver role next year.
I think Romain Grosjean is better. He has an agressive driving style like kimi, lewis or alonso. he also reminded me of LH in GP2, same type of amazing passes. Although RG had lots of bad luck w/ car problems, penalties and driver error.
I think piquet will be completely dropped and RG will be new test driver.

Yup Luca di Grassi was very impressive this season especially since he didn't start the first 4 races i believe.
I won't deny it, I would like to see another Senna racing formula 1. Even though Bruno had some amazing moments he didn't seem as great as I as expecting him to be.

De Grassi finished in 3rd overall with missing the first 4 races right? I have hope in Senna. I read up on the GP2 website that Senna has only been racing since he was 20. In that case he only has 4 years of experience. He could be like Kimi, who came into Forumla 1 with very little racing experience. Iono, but for some reason i feel like he can still do well.
