That article says that Rosberg is German. Is that right? I was convinced that Keke Rosberg was Finnish

Has Nico got dual nationality or something?

I'm a bit surprised Nakajima has been retained - he appeared to be pretty clueless when I saw him race, on the occasion that he nearly mowed down a couple of his pit crew. I had assumed it was just because he could pay his way but that article says he was GP2 rookie of the year, so I guess he must have at least SOME ability....

I could be wrong, but I'm sure I read he was born in Germany whilst his dad was either racing there or doing national service.

Nakajima is there because Williams would like some engines in their car.

I didn't even think he had dual nationality, I thought he was just German. I remember him saying he spoke four languages, none of them Finnish.

Coulthard should have another go at McLaren and help Lewis along with setup etc.

It'll never happen though

Apparently Renault are now under investigation for having McLaren secrets.

I think it's next to certain Heikki will be at McLaren. Alonso will probably go to Renault, but if he does go to Red Bull then Flav managed Weber will go to Renault to partner Piquet.

Obvious innit.

I dunno, he seems to do a pretty good solid job at Red Bull. More so than the other older drivers: Barrichello, Ralf and Fisichella (assuming the latter two are in F1 next year).

Disagree with that I'm afraid. by his own admission he sold out at McLaren but at Red Bull he's been a very consistent points scorer, and as soon as anyone makes a mistake in a faster car he's been there to swipe some more points.
