Jul.10 (GMM) Christijan Albers has lost his Spyker seat but the Dutch driver may not be the only missing face in the Nurburgring paddock in just under two weeks' time.
The Spanish newspaper 'Marca' is reporting on Tuesday that Alex Wurz's Williams ride is also in doubt, given his conspicuous failure to keep up with his teammate Nico Rosberg in 2007.
Renault test driver and rookie Nelson Piquet Jr, who may even test the Toyota-powered FW29 at this week's Spa Francorchamps test in Belgium, is apparently front of the queue to replace Austrian Wurz, although negotiations between Sir Frank Williams and Piquet's manager Flavio Briatore are still taking place.
21-year-old Piquet's Williams link dates back to 2004, when at the end of that season he tested the famous team's single seater at Jerez, as did Rosberg.
Both are the sons of former world champions and Williams drivers.
