Kovalainen: Flying under the radar

By:

All the talk is of Heikki Kovalainen being replaced at McLaren next year, but the Finn tells Adam Cooper that he's done a better job this season than he's been getting credit for

Monza is going to be a big weekend for a lot of drivers as they jockey for position in the world championship, stake their claims for a top seat in 2010, or stake their claims for any seat at all.

The withdrawal of BMW, doubts over other manufacturers and the arrival of three new teams has shaken up the market somewhat. If Ferrari confirms Fernando Alonso along with its Santander sponsorship one piece of the puzzle will fall into place, but then we'll have to start asking questions about where Kimi Raikkonen is going.
