Last I saw about Loeb was him saying he wasn't sure he's ready for F1. Would be interesting to see if he could cut it though.

Regarding teams etc, I actually expect Ferrari to be right up there next season. They've been testing 2010 parts in Friday practise for the past few rounds already, and had given up development of the 2009 car quite a while ago.

The main thing is the cars next season are practically identical to this season, so although Brawn don't have Honda's money behind them, they do have the car to do the business. At least they did, before Red Bull started spanking them in the second half of the season.

The only real difference is the Ferraris and McLarens have to take out their KERS units and have to redesign the weight distribution of the cars - which shouldn't be too hard. I think the racing at the top will be much tougher next year.

Renault won't be up there, but I think they'll improve if they can get the driving talent. Same with Toyota. Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull all at the top with Brawn bringing up 4th. Alonso and Massa will both have something to prove in Ferrari.

If Kimi goes to McLaren I think it'll also be very interesting racing between him and Hamilton. Neither will tolerate being beaten by the other.

I also think Force India is the black sheep which may actually get somewhere next season. They've been building the team up since Spyker bought Midland and have started to get some pace in.

I'm really looking forward to next year's season
