Well De Ferran has stated that he is running 2 full-time cars in the IRL next year as well as in ALMS. One of these drivers is expected to be Takuma Sato bringing Honda (Formula Dream) and Panasonic money. The other driver is expected to be Simon Pagenaud, who has driven for de Ferran's ALMS team over the last couple of years & who has made no secret of his desire to get back into open-wheel racing. Therefore it is logically expected that the de Ferran team will be made up of Sato and Pagenaud, especially as de Ferran himself has talked about Pagenaud as an option for one of the seats. We may still be surprised yet...but that line up certainly wouldn't surprise me.
