What are you talking about? I don't believe Räikkönen is going to leave after this season. Also I think Kubica will stay at BMW as the team is constantly making progress. I guess the rumours about Kimi and Robert have been created from nowhere.

Alonso is the key in the driver market. But I think the possibility to see him continuing at Renault has risen, especially as the car has made a tiny step forward since the start of the European season. On the flip side I have doubts about Renault's rise to the very top, especially as their engine is arguably worse than the ones of rivals and due to engine freeze they can't do much about it. But I guess Alonso might stay there for one more year and keep the hope of situation getting better and... then leave after 2009.

Grosjean should become a Renault driver in 2009. He is too talented not to get a chance in F1.

My guess:
Ferrari - Kimi & Felipe
McLaren - Lewis & Heikki
BMW - Robert & Nick
Renault - Fred & Romain
Williams - Nico & Kazuki
Red Bull - Mark & Der Seb
Toyota - Jarno & Timo
Honda - Jenson & Marco (!)
STR (or under a new ownership) - Le Seb & Bruno
Force India - Giancarlo & Tonio

If the outcome will be like this, it doesn't look like a "silly season", but more likely a "silent season" with only minor changes in driver line-ups.
