Albers ArticleThe following drivers are being lined up as potential replacements
Narain Karthikeyan

Here's hoping Marc gets the seat. But i think money will talk and it'll go to a driver with lots of cash.

Spyker drops Albers
10 July 2007
The Spyker team has dropped Christijan Albers as a race driver with immediate effect, GPUpdate.net can reveal exclusively. A decision on who will replace him at the next race at the Nurburgring has not yet been taken, according to Spyker F1 chief Michiel Mol.
"This has been one of the toughest decisions of my career," Mol told GPUpdate.net. "It's nothing to do with his talent as a racing driver, because we believe he is hugely talented. It's all down to one sponsor who has had financial difficulties."
"We haven't yet decided who will replace him," he added.
In another article I read that Klien might replace Albers for 2 or 3 races and that another driver will finish the season (possibly Bourdais).

Somehow I just don't see Roldan getting the Spyker seat........
As an outside bet I would add Nelson Piquet junior to the mix. Briatore is desperate to find him a seat. Spyker need to secure tenth spot from STR to secure an adequate budget for next year.
