I can't see it being better than 2008 as the new car is a bit c**p really and like mini F1 now.

well you could have said that last year only Senna Pantano and di Grassi were recognised but others came through and did well.

What happened to Pantano and Di Grassi?

I think Bruno will fancy his chances as F1 test driver or in Indycar, if the Honda team doesn´t make it.


Di Grassi would have been my top contender for 2009, but he´s not driving? Surprise..

*Team Campos renamed Addax due to the departure of founder Adrian Campos at the end of last season, with new owner Alejandro Agag opting to re-title the team after the addax antelope, and in deference to main sponsor Barwa International.

iSport so should have kept Senna on a 'If Honda give you the seat, go, but if they don't you stay with us' contract as Im sorry but Van der Garde is no suitable replacement for Senna
