herowassenna should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Rory Byrne

I saw Rory Byrne on TV during the Italian GP talking with the team. At the time, I assumed he was just a guest for the weekend, but I also wondered if he could be enticed back into the fold.
I have since read that he's been working with Pat Fry on a consultancy basis looking at the 2012 regulations.
Mercedes has announced that Aldo Costa and Geoff Willis have signed for their team, but I find it fascinating that Rory who had such a great relationship with Brawn and Schumi never entertained it.
IMO, Rory, the only designer that humbled Newey over the years. Let's hope his magic is still alive

Mercedes seems to have missed a massive trick here!
Bearing in mind their scintillating performance, and Byrne's record - what were/are they thinking?!

No he won't be tempted back full time by an offer, it would likely only be of his own volition but I think he's happy on the beach in Thailand right now?

I think the last time he was actually hands on was in 2004?
