New wave of talent heading to F1

Just weeks after Marco Andretti drove a Honda Racing F1 car, team CEO Nick Fry believes that a wave of new talent is heading to Formula One.
Fry believes that the sport 'needs' this influx of new talent, telling USA Today that "we've got that with Lewis [Hamilton], Kubica and Kovalainen."
The 2007 season sees the loss of Michael Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya and Jacques Villeneuve, amongst others, but fry believes there could be more drivers out of the sport soon.
"There's a number of drivers in F1 who have been there a long time," added Fry, "and I wouldn't anticipate that a number of them are going to be there much longer."
RealHondaF1.com wouldn't be so unkind as to suggest that the 34 year old Rubens Barrichello, about to start his 15th year in F1, could be one of those drivers.
