I think we can all agree that if Ralf Schumacher isn't given the 2nd seat, then our 2nd choice would be Mark Blundell. Obviously Ralf would be the best candidate but 'Blunders' is experienced, fast and blessed with the language skills needed to communicate easily with his engineers (as ITV F1 viewers will remember)

Ericsson is still young and will probably move to GP2/F2 next year. Possibly the latter because I heard Olsbergs aren't sponsoring him anymore so he doesn't have much of a budget.
For Conway, this test is going to make or break his career. He hasn't exactly set the world alight in the IRL and as we all know its not a great place to launch an F1 career from ;)

It strikes me as odd that they have pledged to give young/reserves drivers tests before they've confirmed their 2nd driver. I have a feeling that they know exactly who they're going for (Kubica).

Ross is holding-out for Schumi, has to be why Corra is separating from him...(always a sad thing).

After the success he's had, I would choose family (I think).
