Default Williams 2008 drivers
On the basis that Wurz leaves at the end of the season and Rosberg stays as per his contract then who would you like to see in the cockpit next year. I feel that people will be keen to get on board.

Glock? Carroll ? Davidson?

I'd be delighted if Glock, Carroll or Davidson got the drive.

Sutil could be a possibility also.

Liuzzi ? He would do well to hold on to his seat.
Maybe they should get Fisichella if that is an option, since he is a good driver (better than Wurz) and experienced, and they dont have a car fast enough to challenge for wins so Fisi is better in those situations.

I can't see Ant going to Williams after the fiasco a few years ago between Honda & Williams.
Fisi would be a decent option but maybe they should sign someone to push Rosberg, say, someone like Sutil?

I cant see Fisi at Williams, Frank has already said that if he wanted him he would have gone for him in the 90's. Would love to see Carrol in their, and Davidson would be a good choice. I reckon Sutil is more likely to get a ride at Toyota.

I think Piquet Jr option hasn't been mentioned here in case Alonso goes to Renault. Test drivers Nakajima and Karthikeyan are also not totally impossible, although they are pretty unlikely. Nakajima will probably get one more year in GP2 and Karthikeyan might get a drive at Team India or whatever is that going to be named.

I personally have one proposal or more likely a wish... what about British F3 champion Marko Asmer? He also has tested Williams back in 2003!

But as this is not going to happen, then personally I'm pretty interested in the Liuzzi option. I still think he's underrated and a team like Williams would be strong enough for him to show his strengh. I don't know if he is good enough to quite match Rosberg, but I think he'll be faster than Wurz. I'd also like to see Glock in F1 and Sutil in a better team. They have both been associated with Toyota, but it's clear that both of them can't get there simultaneously. Davidson has proved to be a decent driver too. I'm not excited about Fisichella option - I like the guy and I even think that Renault prefers Kovalainen over Fisi at the moment (as Fisi has been really unspectacular recently), but I honestly think that his time is nevertheless up...

I actually think Wurz has a good chance to stay at Williams, he isnt the best racer but he is a proven tester and I think that was part of the reason Williams hired him in the first place, having Wurz eliminates the need to hire a 3rd driver for testing (their testers are there more because they bring money than their testing abilities)

I don't think Wurz is going anywhere, if he scores a few more points this year, he will put that rumor to bed. Besides, I expect him to get a lot better next year. I beleive that the cars are currently not set up to his liking and that may change over the winter if Willimas scure moire funding. That will allow them to afford personalized set ups for the cars,more in tune with each individual driver, rather than the general Rosberg package that they employ now.

why fix what aint broken if you look at the standings both nico and alex are pretty even and alex can only go up as he could be a bit rusty. besides right now williams should worry about making a good car as alex showed at imola 05 that he can drive a good car.

in my opinion they should only go for a proven supertalent (kimi, fernando, massa or lewis) or stay where they are. as the diamonds in the rough rarely work out.

I'd say it would be between Sutil, Klien and maybe Davidson, but i think he will want to stay another year at super aguri.

Liuzzi has no chance, he has done bugger all this season, he's not that great a driver either.

This is a tough one, first, Wurz seems like a nice guy, always in good mood and kinda accesible for the media, unlike some other F1 Divas...but Sutil needs a good team and a great teammate and I Would love to see Glock in F1, he deserve it, I mean the guy went to Champ Car and won races, he's now challenging for the title in GP2 in his first year, scored points for Jordan, Franck should stick to the Youngsters, forget about Fisichella he's pretty much done, I mean it is a real shame but drivers like Fisico, Ralf or Trulli look older and slower than Coulthard and they are younger than him, Barrichello has showed signs that he has past his prime too but we do not know for sure because with that Honda even God would be slow.

what about this alonso runs for ferrari, rosberg goes to mclaren and massa goes to williams. only thing would be that mclaren would have to pay for rosberg.

OmarF1, you need a bit of a lesson, Glock never won a race in champ car and is in his second year of GP2, he would have challenged Hamilton for last years title if he hadnt started the year in a BCN car. But your right that he did score points for Jordan and it would be good to see him in F1.

He was forced to let Servia win in Montreal when racing Champ Cars! so technically he won a race

I really don't see Williams signing an almost finished with F1 driver like Fisichella, I think they will go for a younger driver with some experience like Klien, Glock or Davidson, although i think they will actually stay with their current drivers

Wurz is being out qualified by Rosberg so why keep him? Williams would probably have two drivers fighting for points if Wurz could at least start P11 or 12 with the occasional top 10 grid position.

I would really like to see Klien in the car next year. He's been rather underrated.
