Also seems as if Hulkenberg could be staying at Williams after all?  His pole position in Brazil could have clinched it for him..Smiley


I think your deduction seems right. Williams has always been ruthless at driver selection. You will recall how they dumped out Damon Hill just after he won the World Championship. They have zero sentiment.

The feeling I have is that Hulkenberg is safe.

AFAIK the doubt surrounds Barrichello. He looked a little flustered at Interlagos because he had been making his case internally for a race seat for 2011 and then he did something a little strange: he started making his case publicly to the F1 media. Everyone knows he is a proven driver, a known quantity, that he has scored the bulk of the Williams points this season but Williams, perhaps more than any other team, usually seeks to build for the future and Sir Frank Williams hates paying too much for his drivers. Barrichello should quietly accept whatever deal he can get if he is to continue his F1 career. Too much 'prima donna' behaviour from him will not go down well with Sir Frank.
