This is my prediction for 2010 season.
Post your predictions aswell.

Ferrari: Massa and Alonso.(Kimi to WRC)

McLaren: Hamilton and Rosberg

Red Bull: Webber and Vettel.

Brawn: Button and Senna.(Barrichello retires)

Williams: Nakajima and Hulkenberg.

Toyota: Trulli and Glock.

Renault: Kubica and Grosjean.

Sauber/Thiessen: Heidfeld and Kovalainen.

Torro Rosso: Buemi and Alguersuari.

Force India: Fisichella and Sutil.

USF1: Wurz and Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Campos: De la Rosa and Klien.

Manor: Davidson and Di Resta.

I say there will be more than 35 drivers testing come the off-season. There is a few more names in with a shout such as; Villeneuve, Piquet Jr, Sato, Loeb and hopefully Adam Carroll!

Post your candidates below.

This is my prediction for 2010 season.

Ferrari: Raikkonen & Massa

McLaren: Hamilton and...Heidfeld

Red Bull: Webber and Vettel.

Brawn: Button and Senna.(Barrichello retires)

Williams: Rosberg & Hulkenberg.

Toyota: Trulli and Glock.

Renault: Kubica and Alonso.

Sauber/Thiessen: Sutil and Kovalainen.

Torro Rosso: Buemi and Alguersuari.

Force India: Fisichella and Grosjean

the ones below really are just plain guess-work so I'll just agree with your proposed drivers! I don't think Loeb will switch, and I'm fairly sure Villeneuve won't return. I think Piquet Jnr & Bourdais deserve another shot, but Sato? Why is he still considered? Bring back Albers and Monteiro!

USF1: Wurz and Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Campos: De la Rosa and Klien.

Manor: Davidson and Di Resta.

Torro Rosso: Buemi & Alguersuari.

Force India: Kovalainen & Sutil.

USF1: Wurz & Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Slim to none. With the neck injury and the fact that he's simply not getting any younger, I can't see him signing on for more. The idea to have him replace Massa was a nice touch to revive some of that spirit Ferrari have lost since the Schumi era's end, as well as get some sponsorship money undoubtedly.

Good thread, here is another question:

Who do you think shouldnt be on the grid next year? Their are a few drivers on the grid who I think dont look interested or some that that arent up to the task.

Thats a hard one, like i said, there will be loads of different drivers having a shot at testing during the winter.
If Barrichello keeps mouthing off he'll be offloaded. Piquet should get another shot at testing same for Bourdais. This time last year I would have said Fisichella but hes proven his worth this year.


Who do you think that isn't interested and not up to the job

thats a tough one , prob barrichello but i think he will keep his brawn seat for another year, i dunno really i dont think bourdais should get another chance but i would give piquet another chance simpley because his young. Not intrested will thats def kimi i wouldnt be surprised if he werent in f1 nxt season but he will prob give it one last go maybe with williams or maybe even renault.

Who should be off the grid next year: Barrichello (just not up to it, plus he's a whinger) and Raikkonen (seems to have lost all interest). Don't think Bourdais should get another chance and definitely not Piquet!

Dont forget the FIA have reopened team applictions for 2010 after BMW demise. We may see lola on the grid yet! A semi-irish team with and Irish driver (Carrol) may be able to attract Irish money. If indeed there is any money left in this country!

Oblomov

Epsilon Euskadi , possibly a new contender

0957: McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh may have just opened up a can of worms on BBC Five Live sports extra. Asked if he is planning to replace Heikki Kovalainen next season, he replied that "we all know that Fernando Alonso's move to Ferrari will have a ripple effect on other teams. It opens up the driver market. We are not in talks with any other drivers at the moment, but are obliged to have the most competitive cars and drivers that we can". Well well well...

So, McLaren seem to think Alonso to Ferrari is nailed on.
