Not sure about the entire Toyota team :shock: :shock:

Honda as well :shock: :shock: :shock:
Ralf has an appointment with the final turn at Indy anyway :) He may well be on his way out with a big bang (pun intended :mrgreen: ). I don't think they will sack Trulli as easily though.

As for Honda I think they will wait out the season. The car is a pile of junk at the moment and they know it very well. Being beaten by Aguri who use last year's chassis. C'mon fellas that ain't what Honda needs!

Worse yet, if the failure extends into 2008 we may see Toyota and Honda withdraw from the F1 scene, regardless of which driver(s) they field.

I say Kimi Raikkonen should be dumped, and the Scuderia should go after Juan Montoya.

If JPM won't come back, they should get SeaBass!!

A rookie for Ferrari is not very likely at the moment. Unless they can get one equal to Hamilton.

This thread shows how misleading package performance can be re.driver ability(and achievements).

To mention KIMI is a joke and even more so to mention JENSON and RUBENS who are both doing a perfect job. Mind you, the earth car is even worse than they make it look....

As for RALF, he seems to be a favourite target - when the Toyota starts performing he will outshine JARNO - again. I am sure he gets a race seat next year, somewhere midfields in F1.

Relatively poor performance has stopped CHRISTIAN now and I wouldnt be too surprised if SCOTT was the next to go...SEBASTIA(E)N are waiting...

There are quite a few seats shaking as we speak. I don't see the backmarkers improving anytime soon. We might see three or four drivers replaced before the season comes to an end.

I don't agree with you Ralf-wise. He has had many good opportunities which he managed blow. Three retirements so far; two resulting from the car. Out of the other six races he got 8th spot twice, 10th, 12th 15th and 16th once each.

Trulli retired four times, out of which two was the car's fault. For the rest; 6th place once, 7th place twice, 9th and 15th once...

Considering both drive very similar cars (the difference in the setup shouldn't be a huge deal if these two are drivers of the same caliber) Trulli outperformed Ralf regularly. In my books that means Ralf's Toyota can be driven better than as is.
