I think Webber will be their first choice but they will have to outbid Toyota which I don't think they will do.

I would be surprised if it is DC, he isn't their type. JB possibly but BAR/Honda are looking after him well so why should he move. I do hope they don't get JV back. Davidson is an outside possibility.

LOL

he is, however, too slow and doesn't seem to have the competitive edge (anymore?). Jenson or MW would be much better. However, I reckon Jenson won't move as he is currently driving a better car.

Apparently Mark Webber is going to join Williams BMW

Also on the subject of Williams, I like the way JPM vents his feelings:-

Asked by The Times if he had spoken to team-mate Ralf Schumacher since his crash at the U.S. GP, Juan replied:

"No, I haven’t telephoned him since the accident. I don't have his number. I have no plans to find out his number. I’ll probably get someone to send him a message saying I hope he gets well. What am I going to say if I call him? Did it hurt? Actually, I was getting on quite well with him this year."

I couldn’t sit down in a restaurant and talk to him. It's like telephoning him. What am I going to say? It's a shame the car is quick and I'm going to win races and you’re not? I do feel sorry for him and I do enjoy racing against him. But that’s about it."

This sounds like something in the style of Michael O'Leary - nothing like a bit of "edited naughty word"

There you go Killian, done it for you !!

Looks to me like Webber's deal is already in the bag.

As for the second seat I would love to see Davidson as his performances this year have shown he has the pace to mix it at the top.

Not impressed by Gene over the last few races but DC would be very good from a development point of view.
