I think Lopez may stay and probably Giedo vdg. Kovalainen for sure.
Not sure about duval and d'ambrose-do they deserve to stay? i havent really heard much about them this year? Does anyone know if they (Renault) will be getting in any more drivers if they do get rid of any? |

Kovalainen and López will stay and both will do GP2 next year. I don't know about the rest of current RDD drivers.

But in comparison to v/d Garde, Duval, Franchi and Asmer, DiGrassi was for sure the one who had the best year overall

Just because I haven't had a fight with Bella for a while, I think di Grassi did have a groundbreaking season. Many independent observers have noted that 2004's Hitech was a bit of a cow. Lucas took a number of front row grid slots and podium positions. Virtually every time he retired it was a result of "crazy idiot Dirani" (Lucas's words, not mine) punting him off. And he was 5th in Zandvoort, 3rd in Macau and was looking at a top 10 position in Bahrain until something went wrong.
IMO he's more deserving of RDD support than virtually anyone. |

Hitech was not strong at all in British F3 this season, but he was still able to make a nice championship. Not that good in points, but he had some nice races. I heard Dirani crashed him a lot |

It was Dirani that budged him off at Brands.
Thruxton was great for Lucas, I really hope he'll stay in Brit F3 in 2005,

No chance, I'm afraid, Emma. With his Renault backing he's got to be in World Series or GP2 - I think his SA and Brit experience of F3 was enough for him! |

Small piece in this weeks motorsportnews has him moving to the Euroseries in 2005 as very likely.
Doesn't say anymore than that on the subject though. Would be a real shame if true, I'm going to agree with Mathias here (don't collapse with shock mate!) as I do believe he did a very good job in 2004. I think that he was driving an underpowered car compared to some of the others. Something wasn't quite right anyway as I expected more from him and Marko Asmer in particular. I think their efforts were being masked by poor machinery and would like to see them both in Mugen-Honda or Opel-Spiess motors in 05 to get an impression for how good they both really are. |

I thought maybe Giorgio Mondini would be in the programme winning the FRV6?

Doh!
Now I haven't got anybody to support (that I know and like) in Brit F3! Jees, unless Dirani stays which is pretty unlikely. |

Yes, Emma, but the point of F3 is that you find someone new to support each year.
