2005 Grid - the current state of play

[Kicking-back]

FERRARI

M Schumacher
R Barrichello

BAR

J Button
T Sato

RENAULT

F Alonso
G Fisichella

WILLIAMS

M Webber
N Heidfeld or A Pizzonia

McLAREN

K Raikkonen
JP Montoya

SAUBER

J Villeneuve
F Massa

RED BULL

D Coulthard
C Klien or V Liuzzi

TOYOTA

J Trulli
R Schumacher

MIDLAND JORDAN

TBA (R Doornbos? T Glock?)
TBA (M Dominguez?)

MINARDI

C Albers
TBA (F Montagny? Z Baumgartner)



So three seats still open (2 Jordan 1 Minardi) and another two down to a final choice (Williams and Red Bull).

With this in mind, I have to say the overall standard of the 2005 grid is looking fairly strong.

There's no-one confirmed so far who hasn't done at least something of merit.

Thanks for the list K-B.

True, (about the depth in talent), but I'd still rather see Bourdais, Davidson and Luizzi get a shot over the likes of Klien, Doornbos and Dominguez.
