Driver lineup 2006 and contracts

Post

Here is the driver line-up for 2006. I'd like to know the contact situation for all the drivers. Can anyone help?

Mild Seven Renault F1 Team
1 F Alonso ESP (ends 2006 to McLaren 2007)
2 G Fisichella ITA (?)

McLaren Mercedes
3 K Raikkonen FIN (Ends 2006)
4 JP Montoya COL (Ends 2006?)

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro
5 M Schumacher GER (Ends 2006)
6 F Massa BRZ (Ends 2006?)

Panasonic Toyota Racing
7 R Schumacher GER (Ends 2007)
8 J Trulli ITA (Ends 2006)

WilliamsF1 Team
9 M Webber AUS (?)
10 N Rosberg GER (Ends 2009?)

Lucky Strike Honda Racing F1 Team
11 R Barrichello BRZ (Ends 2008?)
12 J Button GB (Ends 2007?)

Red Bull Racing
14 D Coulthard GB (Ends 2006)
15 C Klien AUT (?)

BMW Sauber F1 Team
16 N Heidfeld GER (Ends 2008)
17 J Villeneuve CAN (Ends 2006)

MF1 Racing
18 T Monterio TBC (?)
19 C Albers NED (Ends 2007)

Scuderia Toro Rosso
20 A Liuzzi ITA (?)
21 S Speed USA (?)

Super Aguri (TBC)
22 T Sato JPN
23 ?

I think 2007 will be very different driver wise for the top teams. I think this will benefit Honda mostly as Button and Rubens will be the same for 2007 I think.

Trulli's contract ends at the end of 2006, while ralf has a contract that expires after the 2007 season.

Ralf Shumacher is way over payed. The Shumacher name will only get you so far.
Lets see. Button who is not very good took it to ralf as did JPM and now trully.
To finish first, first you must finish.

I agree. Kimi certainly won't be staying and I think JPM would also not want to be there. Who of the current drivers would best fit into McLaren alongside Alonso? Could de la Rosa or even Gary Paffett get a race drive?
Long term for McLaren, I'm talking 2009, I expect Lewis Hamilton to be driving in the team.

Or perhaps they steal Ant from Honda?

How long is Alonso's contract with McLaren? This would determine Mclaren's driver lineups and strategies.

Done some research:

Heidfeld has a 3 year contract
Albers a 2 year contract
Rosberg was rumoured to be on a 5year contract with Williams, but all the team said is was that it is a "long term agreement" ;)

I thought that Fernando has a 2-year deal with McLaren. (If I'm not mistaken :oops: )
