4 races into the season and it is becoming easier to compare who is performing well in the machinery they have been supplied. Certain teams we know aren't going to bump anyone out: Red Bull, Mclaren & Ferrrari for example, but the situation at some of the other teams is not quite as clear cut.
For example, would Mercedes dare to run Nick Heidfeld (even in a practice session) to see if the problem is Schumie or the car. Neither of the Williams drivers are setting the world alight, although the team has been quite up beat I'm sure they must be a bit disappointed. Hispania are muttering about putting an experienced driver in for practice, to sort the car or find out if the drivers are up to it?
My personal favourite to be put on gardening leave before the end of the season is Jarno Trulli. Kovy looks to be trying his heart out in the Lotus (and enjoying himself) but I don't seem to hear anything positive about Trulli who seems to be very much in the twilight of his career and just picking up the cheque. And wouldn't Lotus love to have a Malaysian driver sitting on the grid in one of their cars?
Anyone else care to make any suggestions as to who is going to be first out?
