Keep Brundle for sure, and there should be another racing driver to partener him. Damon Hill was OK in Hungary, with some experience he could be really good.

Kubica to receive Bandini Trophy
By Michele Lostia Sunday, April 13th 2008, 09:40 GMT
Robert Kubica will be honoured with this year's Lorenzo Bandini Trophy as a result of his impressive outings with BMW Sauber since his Formula One debut in 2006.
The Pole has had a fine start to the season with two podiums in three races and his maiden pole position at last week's Bahrain Grand Prix.
The trophy, now in its fifteenth edition, is given out by the village of Brisighella, near Imola, in memory of local driver Lorenzo Bandini, who died in a fiery crash at the wheel of a Ferrari in the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix.
The trophy organizers have also pointed out Kubica's likability, modesty, his love for Italy, and his ability in speaking Italian as reasons for the award, which will be handed out in Brisighella on May 18, one week before the Monaco GP.
Previous winners include world champions Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve, while the last two editions honoured Felipe Massa and Mark Webber.
Also awarded will be former team principal Peter Sauber, who remained at BMW Sauber as a consultant.

Bourdais crashes new Toro Rosso

Sebastien Bourdais, Scuderia Toro Rosso, Barcelona test, April 2008Sebastien Bourdais crashed heavily in the Scuderia Toro Rosso STR3 at Barcelona this afternoon, forcing the team to call an early end to the first test of their new car.
The Frenchman was fortunate to escape unhurt when he left the track at Turn Nine and struck the barrier with the left side of the car.
Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost ruled out mechanical failure as the cause of the accident, saying: "He simply went too fast."
The damage to the STR3 means that Sebastian Vettel will not be able to sample the new car tomorrow as planned.
