More 2007 drivers announced
It seems the rumour was true, Mark Webber and David Coulthard have been announced as the 2007 Red Bull F1 Drivers. This will re-unite him with his old 'Jaguar' team, all be it with a few new faces, and an Adrian Newey chassis, with now an almost definate Renault engine (I would assume it's part of the Webber deal).
The other announcement today was the departure of Jacques Villeneuve from the BMW Sauber team, it seems that unless he gets39;s a drive for next year, his German off will be his last in F1.
F1Fanatic have a roundup of the driver line-up so far. The only one however that we are really waiting for is the Michael Schumacher announcement, will he stay? Well his performance at this weekends Hungarian GP was not exactly one of his best, he should have let the two faster drivers past and settled for fourth. So will he call it a day if he believes he can win this year's driver title? I believe he may just do that, if he can go out on the top he will. There is also the belief that Ross Brawn wants to take time out for a break.
That leaves Kimi, will he stay at McLaren? move to Renault? or take the plunge and join Ferrari, even if they loose Brawn?
