Kubica-elsewhere? Rosberg-McLaren? Raikkonen/Massa-who-knows-where?) and someone's bound to lose out who doesn't want to. This year's reshuffle looks pretty modest though, so I can't see STR having the option of experience next year. How STR reconciles its requirement for experience, its desire for Bruno Senna and whatever expectations Senna's team-mate may have will be intruiging to watch.

I think STR will find a buyer/partner. They are doing well at the moment results-wise, and although that will almost certainly disappear as of 2010 onwards (having to build own chassis etc...), I think they'll still be around for a little while. @Craig: Totally agree - and what's with the attraction to Red Bull? I can't cope with all the æ's at moment. I actually went to Buemi's wikipedia article and copy/pasted his name over, which explains the added accent in this post. @Ali: That's probably the most likely scenario, but Berger does want (and need) some experience. Especially from 2010 onwards when they have to develop their own car.
