Default Future F1 Drivers @ Honda

OK im digging the GP2
3 drivers currently(2 champions 1 2nd, NP 2nd) and NPjr a tester GP 2 seems to put a lot of talent in F1.

Honda pissed away NPjr and now speculation of MAndretti in at Honda F1 in 09.
Many feel there are better out their.
By name alone, BSenna, nephew of Aryton looks like his uncle, kinda drives like him, has fury like AS, AND said a very "un(pussy)sporting" about the retired Chin. On that alone you gotta love him!! Wasnt Uncle A a bit "angry too"?
Several of the GP2 drivers are ex F1 drivers trying again, so they dont count as young.
So just on name alone i like BS, fior same reason i liked NP. Their blood won for Honda F1

So who else would you like to see, hope to see, etc at Honda F1(regardless of great or suck)? First them. Then in F1 in general. I left out the name of several other talents on purpose.

State series since many will never know who they are

!. Bruno Senna Br GP2 Series

Mine is easy, promote Anthony Davidson. His extensive testing experience could help the team now, and I think he is better than RB. I am not sure about young drivers, yet.

I know this may seem from left field but what about Sebastian Bourdais ?

Davidson has been beaten by Sato in 4 out of 5 races so far this season.

Bourdais will be in a Red Bull or Toro Rosso next year; I doubt that he would switch over to Honda after only one year.

I like Senna if only just for the name.

Does anyone know the contract status of Nico Rosberg or Robert Kubica? They have both shown some flashes of becoming stand-out drivers, are relatively young, and could make for a solid number two or co-number one driver, depending on teammate.

^^^ Id kill to get Nico but Williams signed him to a 5 yr deal...Frank is no dummy.

I doubt that RK would leave since they seem to have a better package than Honda at the moment... Maybe if Honda could get it together he might bite. Michael Andretti has said that if Marco were to go F1 it would be to a team that had potential. I feel bad for JB, he still has a lot of potential! Hopefully Honda can produce a winning package! BTW who does Honda support in GP2? Also do they run any cars in F3?

Takuma Sato would be a worthy driver, but leaving Super Aguri for Honda would be a step down in performance.

While in the Honda Suite this weekend, I had the chance to speak to one of the Honda F1 Team bigwigs who told me that he thinks they should go after Alonso. He said they should structure their argument to Alonso by citing that Lewis is getting preferential treatment and show some sector times, etc. Kind of interesting and just what I have been saying for months.

I managed to meet Jenson and Rubens twice and I can tell that Jenson is getting frustrated. At this stage in his career, he needs to find a team that can win.

Rightfully so after the woes of this past weekend.

However, there are only two teams that can win consistently right now - McLaren and Ferrari. BMW has the potential to pull a win or two this season. I don't see a place for Button at any of these teams.

I think his time has passed. Previously, he was the young driver cheered on by the Brit fans. Now that Lewis Hamilton has arrived, Button will compete with David Coulthard and Anthony Davidson as next best Brit.
