di Grassi is a future WDC, provided he gets in a good car in F1. The kid can flat out drive. I would love for Honda to pilfer him from Renault.
FA is a pipedream unfortunately, so we need to get a future WDC in. I believe di Grassi is that man. Vettel is too but I believe he has the Prancing Horse in mind, not a Red H.
Cypher09 also has a future star in mind that we discussed recently.....Alexander Rossi...and get this....he is American!

I think though that romain grosjean is even better. He just had lots of bad luck this year. If you followed GP2 this year and the past you could see that he made amazing passes just like lewis does now and did in gp2.
I've met rossi and the kid is a douche. The parents are $$$ and pay people off. In skip barber his car would have tune ups before he went out. Something that was never done for any other driver. And one of the most un-sportsman things i've ever seen. He was fighting for the lead w/ another kid in a regional race. Skip barber regionals have a ZERO contact policy. Rossi was going to finsih second so on the last lap approaching the finish line he hit the leader in the rear. Both were given +30 secs to their finishing time. You can imagine how bad the other kid was crying.
Rossi won the FBMW championship this year... congrats you payed $250k to race against 9 other cars. If he was truly fast he would have raced in FBMW Germany. The highest level of FBMW, where Sebastian Vettel won 18/20 races.

I'd like to see some combination of Anthony Davidson, Christian Klein, and Bruno Senna. They could put the savings in driver's salaries to developing the car...

I expected a lot from Davidson when he was at Super Aguri. The 2007 SA car (aka the 2006 Honda) was a solid ride that he was already familiar with. For a guy that regularly matched MS during practice in 06, he really didn't shine in 07.

Yes, the lack of development was hard on JB and not so much on RB, because even RB is better than JB, it ain't like they had totally different cars...

Oh this is too good to pass up...
Honda F1
Oh so true
Totally agree. He was the fastest man on track for testing but in actual races he seemed to just fizzle out. Some people just don't do well in traffic.

But first, they have to earn my respect, and thus far that has noit happened.
