The relative tedium of the 2011 silly season continues to rumble ever onwards, with a smattering of minimal speculation peppering the door of the Formula One rumour mill over the remaining few seats on next season's grid.

The summer break might mean a certain lack of important news, but there is still plenty going on in the entertaining field of the driver rumour mill. Patronise F1 fills some time rounding up the latest potential moves for 2011.

Sebastien Buemi to Renault? Kimi Raikkonen to Mercedes? Michael Schumacher to the scrapheap? Most of the big seats may be tied up, but there's still almost enough rumours flying about the place to make the 2011 silly season worth talking about.

Oh dear. For a moment, it looked like the 2011 silly season was all set to rival 2010 for crazy goings-on. Then everyone decided to stay where they were. Still, at least there's a few things left to worry about for next year now.

We're barely into the 2010 season, and yet already the rumour mill is ablaze with rumours and suggestions for the makeup of the 2011 grid, meaning that Patronise F1 can kick-start the 2011 silly season reports earlier than ever. Huzzah!
