1) Shame about Toyota, think they were just a driver away from some good results.
2) At least there's now a gap for Crackerback... Quackersnack... Quadbike... whatever the hell BMW Sauber is called now.
3) I'm sure there's a team that'll snap up Kobayashi, he was a revelation in his two races.

Loeb is probably a very good idea for them. And I would not be surprised if Sebastian Bourdais drove for them- since he didn't do F1 he had a bit of trouble finding a job; he did french GT for a race (maybe more, idk) but he said he did not want to be inactive and that he had been looking in America for a job....

so they'd probably be pretty dumb not to snatch him up

Bourdais has been racing in the Superleague Formula, and getting wins, IIRC.

Boardais is one of the greatest CART/Champ Car drivers of all time! People seem to forget this! He dominated between 2004 and 2007, picking up 4 consecutive titles, against the likes of Paul Tracy, Christiano Da Matta, Dario Franchitti, AJ Almendinger, Robert Doornboss. All top class drivers in turbocharged 750hp (Closer to 900 and 1,000hp in the early '00's) Open Wheel monsters.

F1 is a strange place for talent, I mean, look at Kobyashi, abseloutely nowhere in GP2, yet he is kicking ass in F1. Groesean, Piquet Jr, Koveleinen, all amazing GP2 drivers who just cant seem to get the F1 results. If we turned to cars with similar performance levels to the pre-98 rule changes where the cars where wide, had slicks, adequate downforce, but not tooo much, pretty much like Champ Cars, more drivers would be right up there and having some great scraps.

Bourais IS a great driver, he has just been an unfortunate victim of F1's cruel career damaging reputation.
