Briatore is Webbo's manager, but the straight-talking Aussie has continually stated (just like DC), "I want to win [with my current] team". Toyota are in a bit of a bind, aren't they. For such a 'big' team, they are finding it hard to find a big name. As k says, Schumi's out of the question, Montoya would probably say no (but it maybe his best option if Ron says 'bye 'bye). Fisichella maybe if Renault go all radical and replace both drivers? Good points, but I fear the political wrangling is going to keep Webber in either a Williams or a Renault.
