Yeah, I agree. Why him if he was happily retired? I'd rather see young drivers have a go instead of Hakkinen reliving old days at others' expense.jacfan wrote:Can't imagine him coming out of retirement but then I don't think he ever said that he wouldn't..... and it would make sense of the testing.
Echoing my thoughts again.jacfan wrote:I think once you have left you should stay left. Unless you are forced out by politics or injury but if you decide to retire that is different.
Who knows... After all they are the only team who has not confirmed the driver lineup (apart from Spyker's #2 seat of course). Same deal could go with their sponsorship deals. On top of that Berger said that he wants Hakkinen to drive for STR. If nothing else Toro Rosso folks like to muddy up the waters for sure...mlittle wrote: My question.....I thought Toro Rosso had already found enough money to take care of sponsorship issues for 2007; could they still be looking?
There has been a very strong rumour since September, that Scott Speed would be staying at home after Xmasmlittle wrote:This bit of news/rumor will take a little explaining, so bear with me.......
According to multiple sources(autoracing1.com and speedtv.com), Scuderia Toro Rosso has offered a test session this week at Jerez to 3-time ChampCar series titleist Sebastien Bourdais, which SeaBass has accepted with the blessings of Newman-Haas Racing, the team for which Bourdais drives for in North America. That much is fact; here's the rumor part.............
Here's the two speedtv.com stories if anyone's interested......

The first story mentions Bourdais' upcoming test; the second story talks about the possibility that, according to STR's Gerhart Berger, either Tonio Liuzzi or Scott Speed could lost their rides for 2007. Apparently, rumor has it that Berger is still trying to bring in more sponsorship for Toro Ross in 2007, and that the team has been talking to several drivers from other teams, most notably' Narain Karthikeyan(Williams), Tiago Montiero(Spyker) and Robert Doornbos(Red Bull).
My question.....I thought Toro Rosso had already found enough money to take care of sponsorship issues for 2007; could they still be looking?
True. Reliability has not been a major issue. So, he should have scored a few points at least.jacfan wrote:More a case of Scott (no) Speed.
