With the annual Formula 1 silly season getting increasingly into full swing, three names are being mooted as the most likely candidates for a drive at Manor Grand Prix in 2010 - out-of-work Super Aguri F1 refugee Anthony Davidson, current BMW-Sauber reserve driver Christian Klien and reigning A1G

It has been confirmed that the name Brabham Grand Prix has submitted an application to return to the Formula 1 grid for the first time in almost two decades next year under FIA President Max Mosley's controversial budget cap initiative - and that the team will make use of both Super Aguri's forme

Following the revelation that the Max Mosley-founded March Racing Organisation has submitted a bid to join the Formula 1 grid in 2010 in the new budget-capped era, it has now emerged that another 'blast from the past' could similarly be set for a comeback - Bernie Ecclestone's old team Brabham.

Anthony Davidson has launched a stinging attack on former Formula 1 rival Felipe Massa, following the Brazilian's abject performance at Silverstone on Sunday that included no fewer than five spins en route to 13th place - and last - at the chequered flag.

The Formula 1 rumour mill has suggested that Force India is considering an engine change for the 2009 season, from Ferrari to Honda - in the process potentially giving Takuma Sato a lifeline back into the top flight.

Ross Brawn has suggested Super Aguri's demise was due in no small part to its fellow teams' instinct for self-preservation over the health of the sport.

Honda has claimed to be 'disappointed' by Aguri Suzuki's decision to pull the plug on his ailing Super Aguri F1 team, but admitted that it was inevitable given the operation's current circumstances.
