THE RUMOUR FACTORY FOR 2007

On another note Klien's name is being pronounced as Davidson's successor. Given that the Ant failed to impress so far this might become more than a rumor shortly.

I think Klien would be a welcome addition to the Aguri team. They may have better options out there but Klien has a bit of an experience which is of utmost importance for a young team...

So... Who's gonna drive for Spyker next race? Do I hear Ralf's name?

A discreet wager on F1 being back at Indy next year might be a wise investment

They still gotta sign the contract but I hope your prediction comes true.

Rumor has it Scott Speed got into an altercation w/Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost after both STR cars crashed out....now, chances are he ain't going to be driving for 'em next year, but does he have to take the express route to the unemployment line?

I think he was already leading the pack to that line

Then again we should perhaps look at both sides of the medallion: The team didn't do much to help him either. Speed never really saw much encouragement. Same goes for Liuzzi too. If the trend keeps as is, STR will soon come to be known as "Screw Thy Record". Vettel should think twice before signing a contract

Bahrain to open the season next year??
Nothing to do with coaxing the V8Supercars back to the Park.???

SeaBass should also be thinking long and hard about driving for STR under the circumstances above........

That may be more than rumor........according to ar1.com's "News" page(I'll post a link at the end of the post), Australian GP officials are saying that with the V8's returning to Albert Park next year, having the opening round of F1 "was no longer a big deal". In return for getting the V8's back, GP officials gave them some concessions(mentioned in the news item)...............

As more news comes to hand, seems it is a done deal. You will be able to watch the race at a respectable hour.........Europeans will see it around 5-6am.....it's slottted for a late start it seems.

Read a similar rumor (?). If a rumor shows up in more than one place chances are it's probably true.

Has anyone denied it yet? If yes then it's a dead giveaway

BTW, Berger is said to be in the process of convincing BMW to give up Vettel. We might see Vettel replace Speed as soon as the next GP.
