Wanneer Prodrive gaat rijden met McLaren spullen kunnen ze zeker competetief wezen denk ik. Maar ik heb Doornbos in het klein getypt, ik acht de kns ook zeer klein.

If I sell Nico, I sell Williams

The biggest speculation in the Fuji paddock was about the driver market. Will Alonso stay or won’t he? This will only be decided after the season so therefore nothing will happen at Renault, Toyota or Williams until after the Brazilian GP. Alonso is keeping everyone else on hold, including Kovalainen, Sutil, Glock, Liuzzi and Sato.

But in all fairness, it is not really the Spaniard’s doing as the question as to whether he leaves or not is not his to make, instead it is the team’s. As our spies in Japan stated, there is no way Fernando can get out of his contract without McLarens permission, but McLaren would only release him if they can find a good replacement.

Ron Dennis is interested in Nico Rosberg, but the Williams driver is firmly cemented in his team until the end of 2008. Frank Williams still states that he will not give Nico up under any circumstances, in fact he is struggling to find a good replacement for Wurz, so how would he be able to fill two cockpits.

"If I sell Nico, I sell Williams," he says.

Very true.

Wurz to retire from racing at end of season

Alex Wurz has decided to retire from Formula One racing at the end of this season, autosport.com can reveal.

The Austrian made his decision after his podium finish at the Canadian Grand Prix, and autosport.com understands he even considered pulling out immediately and going out on a high note. But he committed himself to completing the season out of respect for the Williams team.

Speculation surrounding the 33-year-old's future had been rife for some time, however sources suggest that Wurz had been advised by Williams he was one of a small number of drivers on the shortlist for a race seat next year.

Other names thought to be under consideration include Adrian Sutil, Nelson Piquet Jr and test driver Kazuki Nakajima, the latter having been described as "Formula One material" by Frank Williams during a press conference earlier this weekend.

While Wurz will not race in F1 after Brazil, it is believed that Williams is keen to retain his services as a test driver.

Wurz told autosport.com that he was unwilling to comment for legal reasons but did not deny any of the above.

Alonso and Renault

We hear that negotiations about Fernando Alonso between Renault and Telefonica have not been going very well in recent days with there being disagreements about some of the people involved in the Renault F1 project. One rumour we have heard, which may have some credence, is that there may be more to Fernando Alonso's conversations with Red Bull Racing than was initially thought although there are conflicts over the length of the contract as Alonso obviously wants to be free after one season and Red Bull wants a longer-term commitment.

F1's most experienced driver could be relegated to the smallest team on the grid for 2008, despite his contract to race for Honda next year.

It was reported recently that, although the Japanese squad announced the extension of Brazilian veteran Rubens Barrichello's contract not only in July but again last month, Honda boss Nick Fry may have re-engaged with the driver market amid the prospect of Fernando Alonso's McLaren exit.

Just as Takuma Sato was downgraded to the Honda satellite team at the end of 2005, then, 35-year-old Barrichello could also be facing a move to Super Aguri, according to the British magazine F1 Racing.

Barrichello conspicuously failed to score a single point this season, and reportedly drew the ire of the team with several below-par performances compared with team-mate Jenson Button.

One Honda mechanic is quoted as saying: "It's about time he retired, isn't it?"
