Rumor has it it's going to be a Ferrari-McLaren swap, as in Massa leaves Ferrari for McLaren while Alonso takes off for Ferrari

I like this one!!

It, will give a realistic comparison between the Kimster and the Matador, and with LH winning everything it will provide a point of interest!

According to the rumors page over at autoracing1.com, Toro Rosso is set to confirm that they have signed 3-time ChampCar titleist Sebastien Bourdais to their driver lineup, replacing Vitantonio Liuzzi for 2008

According to the above link, Fernando Alonso might just be returning to Renault after a year with McLaren........anybody else besides me get the feeling that Alonso's just a bit "rattled" having Hamilton as a teammate and wants to go back to Renault?

I think it's more that he feels Hambone is getting preferential treatment, so he can't race him outright.

Re Seabass ......There could be an announcement today, according to "rumour", he may even race this season, if STR will pay Chip for his driver's services.
Sadly, I think Liuzzi is faster than Vettel, but his F1 career seems over

IIRC, the announcement was supposed to be today at the earliest, but I think its' a done deal w/Bourdais racing in F1 next year; it's just a matter of due diligence and connecting all the dots, so to speak. As for SeaBass possibly racing in F1 this year....who knows? I do agree with you, though on Liuzzi....I think his F1 career is over for now. Perhaps Liuzzi could end up doing what Doornbos has done this year and race in ChampCar next year?

Yup, Seabass' American commitments would allow him to do most of the F1 races left, if STR will pay Chip to have him.
imho Toyota would be smart to grab Liuzzi, he was way faster than Vettel, last race

Well now Snowy, me old darhlin', how does an F1 street race around the streets of Birmingham in 2009 sound to yer? Music to the ears?
Do y' know it, Birmingham, actually has legislation allowing organiized street racing, and is the only city in England to do so. Bye Bye Silverstone
