I don't think there are question marks over anybodys drives other than Pizzonia and Firman, I can't see any of the others realistically being replaced (except maybe due to illness or injury).
I think it's a bit early to be talking about kicking people out though - we've only had 3 rounds, give them a chance to adapt. |

Unlikely to be a doubt over Firman - there's big money tied up in that deal and EJ will give it much more time before doing much about that situation. With some conventional (and probably dry!) races to come they will all have a better opportunity to settle in.
Ralf Schumacher's position is quite precarious though! |

Pizzonia will be the first to go, he won't see out the season.

You've got the wrong spelling of Ralf/Ralph:
Ralph Firman Ralf Schumacher Everyone used to call Ralf Ralph, and now we're calling Ralph Ralf. This could get confusing if we don't start getting it right soon... |

Sad as it is I think Wilson will mainly due to who will build a car to fit him ?

So far on merit though it should be Pizzonia who should go, but it's early days yet. |

Firman will go first. Jag cannot affors the instability to sack the Pizza driver.

Ralph Firman. Not cutting it in qualifying. Unlucky in races? Do we make our own luck?

I'm not so sure Firman will lose his ride this year, but this may be his only year. There are some strong names up there, but some of them have just had poor luck so far. Webber the guy who pulled that POS Jaguar up to the front? That's just funny.

Firman for me has been lame. In qualifying he's been about two seconds behind Fisi per lap and he has been way behind in the race. They should, IMO, replace him with Anthony Davidson or James Cortney, who could both do the job.

At Melbourne, Firman wasn't really that impressive. At Sepang, he qualified at a one-stop strategy, and pulled it of in the race, which is quite a task at a track like that.
I don't know what his fuelload in Braz qualifying was, but his race was truly hampered with all sorts of technical mishaps which aren't really his fault. Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all impressed with Firman's perfomance to date, but his pre-F1 record hasn't been all that to begin with. It's just a little premature to call for his sacking. In that extend, Pizzonia is in more danger I pressume. The Jag at the roadside is too often the one Jungleboy drove around. Be that as it may, I do think he still has a lot of promiss, and that he will be able to shine on occasion, if and when he gets his act together. Come mid-season, a evaluation will be in order. This time last year, lots of people were calling for the dismissal of Takuma Sato, and I still believe Sato proved some points left and right during 2002. |

Firman will be the first to go. He is a total waste of space.
Jaguar have said Antonio is safe. So you can take him off the poll

wilsons safe they went to all that hassle making him fit that they'll get the most from him! He needs to buck up though and get into the f1 driver ways - He's being far too nice at the moment IMHO, and the cars a pile.

I could see Wilson leaving for a couple of races if a driver with money comes along. It would ease his financial burden a bit.
