STR i feel could either end up with Honda power or BMW power as a outsider, Red Bull will want to be compeditive from the off next year, STR will also want good power next year, hence why i feel that BMW coule provide power for them next year. I also feel that Mercedies could also want a driver racing next year, thus making me wonder could Garry Paffet be in a line for a STR drive next year... May be a concept, but i feel that a STR with Honda power and KERS could be on the cards with Sato and either Bourdais or Buemi being in the STR seats for next year.
Is this just wishin' and hopin' or do you have some info that supports this?

Toro Rosso have extended their Ferrari contract to 2010. So they will definetely not pass the engines on to RBR. According to sources the decision at RBR is still open on the engine pending decisions of the FIA regarding complaints on engines. If the FIA takes measures to equalize they will stay with Renault, if not they will probably switch to Merc or BMW.

Another Newey/Merc on the grid would put Webber and Vettel in title contention.

Especially if Red Bull moves all of its money from STR over to RBR.
