Eddie Jordan rates Glock very highly (very very highly aparently) so If he has anything to do with the team next year and finances go his way he'll get Timo in a seat.
And I think Heidfeld should be on the shopping list for all the remaining teams if he ends up free from jordan. Good chance that Luzzi will take one of the vacant seats I reckon. He should have the sponsorship and has made a good name for himself already. Last edited by Draven; 16 Sep 2004 at 08:21. |

BAR
Running with the conviction that Button is going to end up driving for Williams next year, regardless of the outcome of the hearing, DC would, to me, seem like by far the most logical solution. I am no great lover of David, but he would bring to the team exactly what they need for a transition/settle period with Button leaving. He would need to just be a relatively short-term solution until the ideal candidate comes along - unless of course DC suddenly becomes brilliant or something weird like that. Minardi Follow the money. I do not see what other option they have. Jordan Nick probably must stick on at it for another year, which saddens me because I thoroughly like him and think he is rather under-rated and forgotten. I would agree with those thinking Glock has rather good chance for this one: BUT, in the end, the second seat will most likely be a case of following the money. |

Some of these are silly suggestions or are they?
BAR - Sato and Davidson Jaguar - Coulthard and Luzzi Jordan - Heidfeld and Fauzy (Endorsed by Jordan and has backing) Minardi - Lloyd and Reid (Sponsorsed by Superfund as the dream team who are with JVA Racing in Euro3000 owned by Superfund, plus Reid is an Ausy) Williams - Button will be there! |

If the CRB decides that BAR has first claim on Button, I doubt that DC would get the seat. I suspect that Pizzonia has first dibs and that Heidfeld might be an outside chance.
DC would be a good fit at the renamed RBS Ford-as long as Stewart is heavily involved. Several web sites are claiming that Sato is NOT confirmed for BAR. I suspect that if Button goes, for continuity they might keep Sato, but if Jense stays, Sato is out. |

Royal Bank of Scotland are sining with Williams and Stewart is leaving the Ford/Jaguar party to join BMW Williams at the end of December.
Jaguar have never been in the running for RBS it's always been between BAR, Williams and McLaren (who even offered to chnage the livery to suit the RBS royal blue colour) The RBS deal with Williams is rumoured to be worth around £10m. |

Good job no one seems to have noticed that when I said "Montagny and Briscoe at Toyota" I meant at Minardi....
I think, even if BAR's contract with Button proves vaild, they'll probably sell him on to Williams, as he doesn't seem keen to drive for BAR. I can't see DC at Williams in any case. BAR dropping Sato wouldn't make much sense if Button also goes, and I suspect he's probably safe in any case. |

Briscoe is talking up his chances, but always with the catch that he needs to attract sponsorship. It's difficult being Australia to attract the right amount of corporate sponsorship, even from different companies, to put together a package lucrative enough to attract the attention of a Jordan or a Minardi. Further, it seems apparent from what he's been saying that Toyota are not helping him find a seat.
Briscoe was most recently interviewed in the latest print edition of F1 Racing in Australia. |

It's interesting to see that people always associate the identity of a driver with the engine supplier to a team, ie. Heidfeld going to Williams because BMW wanted a German driver to drive for the team, yet Williams are lining up an Australian and an Englishman for next season, and that Mario Thiessen actually said being German wasn't a requirement. Of course, Honda might have a different outlook and that Sato is at BAR (partially) because he's Japanese, but I think that would be shortsighted if he's not talented enough to deliver to Honda the success they want to achieve with BAR. |

Sato is a Honda protege but I don't think that's exclusively because he's Japanese. The truth is that Sato has had a very strong season, especially compared to his debut in 2002, and has done enough by his own efforts to retain his seat for next year, all the more so as Button is (almost certainly) leaving, and BAR will want some stability.

Following the decision by Jaguar and the implications for Minardi (and the uncertainty over Jordan) the game seems to be finished - there are no seats left!!!!
