Nick Heidfeld
Talks about 2010 with teams other than BMW-Sauber are currently taking place, German driver Nick Heidfeld (photo) has admitted.
The 32-year-old, who despite racing in his tenth season in F1 is yet to achieve a single win, admitted recently that he does not have an assured contract with the Swiss-based team for next year.
"I am talking with several teams - not just BMW," Heidfeld is quoted as saying by the German-language Eurosport.
Nico Rosberg
Rumoured as Heidfeld possible replacement at BMW next year is his young countryman Nico Rosberg, who is out of contract at Williams and openly eyeing potentially vacant seats at works teams including BMW and McLaren.
Sebastian Vettel
Diario AS caused an international stir earlier this week in saying that September 11 2009 was the date on which Fernando Alonso will perhaps be unveiled as a Ferrari driver for the next five world championships.
But also in the report was the suggestion that the Italian team may be planning a wholesale change, with Sebastian Vettel also in its sights.
The Vettel element of the story was picked up by Germany's major daily Bild, adding that Bernie Ecclestone is also keen to see the 21-year-old in a red car, but that it might not happen for contractual reasons until 2011.
Jamie Alguersuari
Spanish driver Jamie Alguersuari hopes his new appointment as Red Bull's F1 reserve driver leads to a full-time Toro Rosso race seat in 2010.
"My main objective for 2010 is to race with Toro Rosso," the reigning British F3 champion said in an interview with Spain's Diario AS newspaper.
Alguersuari currently races in the World Series by Renault, a championship run by his eponymous father.
