Kubica will debut next race by replacing an injured Villeneuve, strangely the BMW head dude with a funny moustache said things are undecided as for who will drive the remaining races of the championship.
For sure with Michellin's compound over the next 2 races Budapest/Turkey both hot tracks like the past 2 will probably see what happens again Bridgestone/Ferrari domination
FORZA SCHUMI!!!!!!!!!!!

In another news:
- Williams did not take the option on Mark Webber who is now free to go for next season (with very interesting seats possibly still open at Ferrari, Renault, McLaren and Red Bull), and instead have promoted test driver Alexander Wurz to a racing seat for 2007 - finally all his years of testing have paid off and he's back to the real deal.
- Ross Brawn (key member of Ferrari staff, has been with M. Schumacher in all his driver titles) have announced he will take a sabbatical year. Maybe a hint Schumacher will retire?

I quite think Schumi is the type to go out on top and will retired with the championship.....
Webber is a great talented having a good year except his gay Williams never works

One of my mates just messaged me knowing I'm a Williams fan asking if I'd heard (I had, found out earlier).
I rate Wurz, so i'm not really disappointed with the Williams decision, I agree with keeping Rosberg on.
Webber will be driving for someone next year, its not gonna signal the end of his opportunity. I'd be disappoiinted if this was the end of him in F1, but I know thats not going to be the case.

My guess is Webber will join either Renault or McLaren.
Mclaren, providing Schumacher does not retire of course.. Because then Raikkonen will probably stay where he is now.

I dont really think Kimi is a good Ferrari guy. You have to smile at thier press events and stuff like that I wonder if Kimi could do it. I really cant see him doing the Vodafone volleyball game in Austrailia smiling in the sand with Massa

Ferrari are media-friendly but care more about competivity than anything else. Raikkonen is the best bet for the future right now considering Alonso is signed, so I think they'll do everything they can to get him - the only 2 options he won't go Ferrari are:
- he prefers to go Renault or stay at McLaren (unlikely IMO, with every car using Bridgestone next year, Ferrari seems the best option by far)
- Schumacher continues, has an option to veto him, and uses it
So I think there's a very good chance we'll see Raikkonen in red next season.

If Schumi is back no Kimi. Also in that scenario if Massa does even better than this year we can see him being groomed for the #1 driver seat.

Why? I know it'd be a huge financial effort but right now getting Kimi is the most important thing for Ferrari, regardless of Schumi. Getting a driver of that quality, who is still young, is a chance that doesn't come often.

Massa does have some talent but he's not world championship material - he has several years of F1 and never could beat any of his average team-mates by a decent margin. If Ferrari goes that way chances are it'd be a mistake.

I'm pretty convinced Ferrari will keep Massa when Schumacher continues, because Kimi will never settle for second place within the team behind Michael.
