Christian Klien could return to HRT seat in 2010
Kleine Zeitung said HRT is now considering putting reserve driver Christian Klien back in the car for Brazil or Abu Dhabi, in a last-ditch effort to beat Lotus to tenth place in the constructors' world championship.
Only the top ten constructors share in the annual distribution of prize-money under the provisions of the Concorde Agreement. 2010 has shown that some pay-drivers are not necessarily the best value for F1 teams relying on the lucrative Bernie Ecclestone income.
With his apparent food poisoning gone, Japanese pay-driver Sakon Yamamoto returned to the Cosworth-powered car in Japan and Korea.
Money to play role in 2011 driver decision at Williams
Considerations about money will play a role in the formulation of Williams' driver lineup for 2011. That is the admission of Patrick Head amid speculation Nico Hulkenberg could be dumped in favour of new GP2 champion Pastor Maldonado.
Maldonado is heavily backed by the state Venezuelan petroleum company PDVSA, to the tune of a reported EUR 15 million."Those are things which we will weigh up," Head said in Korea.
Robert Kubica would love Ferrari, but it's not happening
Robert Kubica has confirmed he would like to race alongside his friend Fernando Alonso at Ferrari. But the 25-year-old added: "It is not realistic to speak about it, even less so after Massa renewed until 2012."
Also in Korea, Lewis Hamilton dismissed a suggestion from a reporter that the career of a great driver would be incomplete without a stint at Ferrari.
"Ayrton Senna was the best of all time and he was at McLaren," said the Briton. "You never know what's going to happen and you can never say never. But I will be here (at McLaren) for as long as they want to keep me."
