what is he doing??

I think that Karthikeyan will be the third driver than. This season we haven't heard of him very much, just some days of testing, but the last 3 months, no word of him. So I'm not really sure of that, but it would be a possibility.

With Mark out of Williams for next season, we now wonder where he will go. Renault? McLaren? Personally, I believe Renault may find the Aussie attractive.

Or Red Bull

Renault will be his best seat I think, though it may be funny for him to be at McLaren so both of Flav's driver will be driving for Ron....

I've always been a fan of Wurz. Looking forward to next year already.

IMHO, sorry guys, I am not happy for AW sign up. OK, Alex is a good driver. But, he is old. I would like to see a younger driver, like Rosberg. On the other hand I do believe that AW is faster than a lot of over exposed drivers, like MW.

Just to point out that FW preferred to sign up the CHEAPER driver. This is not a good sign. Williams is not the team we knew. And I miss it, although I never was a fun of FW's team.

raikkonen is in renault bag, i don't see a average driver going to the best team of last 2 years?

Ferrari haven't the money to pay both raikkonen and the kraut, and i don't see raikkonen doing the 2th driver job to ferrari as brawn and todt always took second sword to not disturb the german

Though it's kinda off-topic... not according to this:

I'm pretty sure Ferrari do have the money, what with Marlboro's 'open chequebook' or whatever it was called, and it appears to be verified that they will be on an equal level.

...

Back to Webber though, I think it's a reasonably safe assumption that his next stop will be Renault.

My personal impression of Alex Wurz from 1998 and 99 is that he's a bit like Mark Webber - impressive driver with rotten luck. Hope it's improved this time around though.

IMO Webber going to Renault looks like a win-win. He needs to keep his motivation and this is clearly not happening at Williams with multiple DNF. OTOH Alex Wurz looks more compatible with Williams hardware. Good for him.

The only loser out of this deal seems to be Renault. Going from Alonso -> Webber looks like a downgrade somewhat.

According to the father of Mark, there will be an announcement next week about the future of Webber in F1. According to Webber Sr., Mark will be in F1 next season for sure!
