Its likely that the 2 drivers will be Sato and Davidson because of Hondas infulence. Frank Montagny is also rumoured to have a chance, but its more likely he will end up at Midland who has been linked to for a while

He is really qucik but not as good as Button or DC. .

As far as Montario is concerned, i want to see him with one of the biggger team because he has a lot of potential and his driving style would suit being a test driver.

Thats a shame, NK should really be looking at a testing role before they are all taken up ... i really wanted to see TM in a bigger team for the next season

The best seats are Williams 4th driver, Red Bull 3rd driver and BAR 3rd driver ... but realistically Midland ro Torra Rossa 3rd driver should be a seat he can get

apparently portugese government and other sponsors are ready to cough up 12 Million dollers for Monteiro...

So NK was told to bring about the same amount of money. NK didnt even bother to ask that much money from the sponsers ! So no more race drive hopes !!

And again Motogp Champion Valentino Rossi tested for Ferrari ... This was third time testing by Valentino Rossi for Ferrari.

MotoGP champion Rossi tests again for Ferrari
Italy's highest-paid sportsman is being courted by Ferrari as a possible replacement for seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher when the 36-year-old German eventually retires.

The Gazzetta dello Sport website said Rossi lapped the Fiorano circuit in around 58 seconds, compared to Schumacher's record of 55.9.

Sauber will be named BMW Sauber for the 2006 season. Mario Theissen said "It reflects the makeup of the team - run by BMW but with a core of almost 300 Sauber employees. Plus, the 2006 car was developed by Sauber's proven engineers."

Its really nice to see the name Sabur stay in F1.
