Default Honda Seats in '09

With Alonso's name still floating (although imo, he will/should stay with Renault), who will take the seats for Honda?

I'd like to see AD get the chance... My $.02.. and no, I don't want to see Takuma in a Honda..(besides, I think he's one of the frontrunners for the Toro Rosso seat that become vacant when Vettel moves, and possibly if they release SB ).

I want to see both JB and RB get fired.

RB because he just needs to retire already, JB because he has been with Honda for too many year, and, having been outperformed by the senior citizen of the team, it is just a pathetic statement of the fact that JB is a no talent.

I would love the team to just do the deal, hire Bruno Senna and be done with it. And I agree with Mocky, bring back AD, good grief could that kid qualify.

Alonso and Piquet were confirmed at Renault for 09 (Alonso 2yr, Piquet 1yr).

Honda should go with JB and Pantano.

AD consistently put up quality numbers and was a huge asset to Hondas F1 program.... I think he deserves a ride...

Bruno Senna would be a great pick, not just because of his Uncle, but he has tremendous upside.... Every team right now is looking for the next Hamilton or Vettel... not some has-been...

As much as I would like to, I don't follow GP2. Is Pantano that much better than Senna or was his significant lead due to other factors (car, reliability, crashes that weren't his fault, being on the wrong tires, etc.).

JB is confirmed for 2009. Bruno Senna will be testing for the other seat; RB is on standby.

Confirmed?
Where? I don't doubt you, I just haven't seen any info in regards to him taking one of the seats next year..
