I wonder if Barrichello has done one season too many. In 2010 he was good this season not so much. Williams said last year he was so good with the car development, yet now there's been no praises from that department (for obvious reasons), whilst Barrichello has been very critical of the car. For someone in his 19th F1 season and the most experienced man ever, its not what you expect to hear

Barrichello should have been out of this sport after 2008. Honda's withdrawal saved his butt big time. Yeah, he won twice in 2009, but this was nothing else then a 1992 Mansell - Patrese deja-vu. He hasn't got anything left in the tank to drag a struggling team into a creditable position. I really hope he gets ousted finally after this season.

I disagree with the first part. Rubens made a big contribution to Brawn's success that season. Quite a few times he helped Jenson with the set-up (I'm thinking most prominently in Spain and Monaco). Sure, Bruno Senna might have won a few races as well, but he probably wouldn't have made the team champions. Retiring in 2009 would have been good though, going out on a high.

Looks like Karthikeyan will be back soon

Thought Korea would have made more sense tbh as it's the race before India.

No more hard tyres for the rest of 2011: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93680

Regarding the circuits after Singapore (tyres have been announced until that), Suzuka is the only place where I could see hards being used anyway. But probably it's soft and medium there then.

Mercedes better fix their problem with traction then, they seem to use the softer compunds rather quickly.

Dementia?

Still, it's heart warming that someone has raced in F1 for so long that you can't remember the first race he did.

I remember that!

Well I'll be damned then, it seems like Ferrari might consider taking on a rookie after all.

Senna will drive Friday practices at Belgium, Italy and Brazil, using Heidfeld's car.

Youngster =/= Rookie.

It'll probably be someone like one of the Sauber duo have have had 2-3 years experience. No way Ferrari would risk it with someone like the incident prone Bianchi.

If Kubica isn't fit for 2012:
- If Renault need the money they will go for Senna
- If Bouiller & Lopez get their way then it will be Grosjean.

I think, that kubica will ready for season 2012

Very cool. Seeing Bruno in the car at Brazil will be special to say the least, but he deserves it he did a great job at Hungary.

Plz Hermanos Rodriguez, simply for the Parabolica

Okay this is really annoying to post for every word something,just to make post number enough to enter video zone.

For the Senna thing,i think he deserves a chance to race this season.
And next year he definetly deserves a race seat,but the only option to have him as driver is to need money.
If they dont need it they will take Romain Grosejan. And for Kubica,now i really don't know if he will returd,i hope he does,but who knows.
