Out of the other 2 I would certainly ditch Force India especially as the 2 Brawn cars have been doing such a fantastic job this year, and are likely to do the same next year too (with the same package). But, where is the 3 pronged star? not on the front of the 2 best merc powered cars. There is a lot of talk about US F1, what about the others, I believe Adrian Campos will do okay, but, the Manor team, well I don't know, will they even be on the grid in 2010 (with no budget cap)? after all that is what brought them in in the first place.

The American driver only makes sense if it is to be successful. Otherwise, in the early stages of the team development, USF1 need results, with or without a yankee at the wheel But will people care about an american guy (or girl?) racing for 20th or 21st place?
