when the names are linked together...

So it is official now. ASM F3 team will use ART as the team name from next year. And Nico Hulkenberg will be partnered by James Jakes in the team to give a second try in F3 Euroseries.
Let's just put down some names related to this news and try to see if any part of your lost memory is revoked. Nico Hulkenberg, Willi Weber, Nicolas Todt... is this enough to remind you of another two guys?
Yes, right on! Maybe our next F1 dreamteam is just around the cornor. Think about it, what if we have a new team with Jean Todt as the Team Manager, Michael Schumacher still as the so-called 'advisor' and part-time test driver, Nico Hulkenberg as driver #1 with Mr.Weber still in control of his two brightest stars and finally Felipe Massa as another driver with Nicolas Todt still as his manager. In fact, it will be so natural for Nicolas Todt to send his driver in F3 right now directly to his daddy's team and work together with his client! What a fabulous line-up! I would also love to see Sebastian Vettel join in the team after Felipe retired, as long as the Hulki and Vettel will not be the next "Senna & Prost".
I personally recommend this new team to adopt BMW-engine because there are too many Germans in the team. And maybe Ross can still consider to transfer to our new team. Setting up a new team and leading it to champions is much much cooler than saving Honda!! By the way, it would be great (though a bit controversial) if the new team can hire Nigel Stepney. With no Italian trying to stab anyone, I believe the whole team will soon grow a team spirit and beat Ferrari in the near future! What do you think?
Well, the perfect plan is still only a plan till now. Maybe we can refer to this article again when Michael finally makes up his mind on the RedBull deal. It looks quite economic right now because he can get hold of Vettel with almost no effort! Just remember, sign up Nico and Vettel as soon as you can because they are made to be the next Formula1 WDC!
