Lots of speculation surrounding the 2008 driver’s lineup and the list has a few surprises, one being the lack of Ralf Schumacher. If Ralf Schumacher does not get a seat (maybe with Force India) it will be the first time in 18 years there has been no Schumachers on the grid.
The Piquet name returns to F1 after a 17 year absence from the series alongside Fernando Alonso who returns after being with the Woking based McLaren. Timo glock replaces Ralf Schumacher at Toyota while we see the addition of Sebastian Bourdais coming from ChampCar alongside a very popular rising star Sebastian Vettel.
