Talking The Silly Season has started again!

Always one of the coolest things from the F1: The silly season. Speculating about who's gonna drive at what team next season.

The most popular theory at this moment:

Sauber will sell it's team to BMW, so it'll become a complete BMW F1 team. Heidfeld will go with BMW to Sauber. The spot at Williams will be taken by Button. And since Barrichello is searching for a new team(Ferrari told him before the GP of Monaco that he will not drive for Ferrari next year), he'll probably go to BAR.
Jacques Villenueve will most likely drive for Sauber next season, so that leaves Felipe Massa. And where is the last spot left? Indeed, at Ferrari
But, Ferrari also said to have alot of interest in Vitantonio Liuzzi.

One thing left: BMW will leave Wiliams, so what engine is gonna power the Williams team? Well, that'll probably be Honda. Why? Because they're very disappointed about the results from BAR this year. Add the disquailification to that, and there is a big chance they're gonna leave them.
And who's gonna power the BAR's? Maybe Cosworth, maybe Ferrari, maybe Toyota or maybe Mercedes? Who knows!

Anybody else who read/heard anything different? Please tell us!

A problem in your post: Sauber will become the BMW team, but Villneuve will still drive for Sauber?!

Nevermind the fact that Villeneuve will probably be out of a job if he doesn't start performing!

I'd love to see a pure BMW team but as a life long Williams fan, I think it'd be better to sort out the problems with BMW

I say it should be williams-renault just like the old days when villeneuve was at williams..
I think maybe the toyota engine will go into the BAR's next year.
Now i am wondering where barricello will go..
The theory about who is driving in williams cars seems about right, wasn't jensen to sign with williams for this year??

What is up with this year's season??? Renault last year was nothing this year the are dominating. Alonso??? That guy used to be ovelapped at least twice by MS and the rest of the stars like Barichello, Ralf, Kimi, Montoya etc. This year he is killing them all. I think the new rule(s) is(are) BS!!!!!!!!!

1. Last year Renault was already doing very well. And absolutely not being lapped twice by the 'stars'

2. The knew rule isn't killing anyone, except for Ferrari maybe. Ralf never been that good imo, and McLaren is doing VERY good this year.

Ahh Jordan to win F1 next year and eddie jordan to buy back Jordan F1 from midland, btw that change-over is happening soon right?
Well we know bmw will be ditching last year ferrari engines and i fell williams will stay with bmw for another year, and then they'll probly be powered by bloddy toyota engines.

Alonso definitely doesnt "kill" anybody. Kimi have been much faster many times but as we know few times he has been unlucky.
