I mean. It could happen... but I don't know of any way Ferrari fans would be happy to see Kimi back and Alonso go.

What if Massa goes to RBR?

What if Vettel retires?

What if the Stig gets the RBR seat!?

I don't think it would be wise to have Kimi or Alonso along side Vettel.
It's been called already.

Its Ricardo no way kimi would go to be second fiddle.

I don't think RBR would want Anthony Davidson.

Kimi may be #1 driver in RB after a few race wins...maybe Vettel will have the better of him...would be great to find out

I think Kimi, Alonso and Hamilton will all beat Vettel in the same equipment

All 3 drivers have proven they can win/podium in different cars. Vettel has not

Sure you can say he won in 08 with the Toro Rosso car but rain is always a crap shoot and anyone can win or podium. Perez proved that last year

All talk from the haters today...

Don't worry, this is his last contract with RBR. 3-4 years from now he will go to another team. Vettel will, unfortunately for you guys, take another couple WCs in that span. He won't even be 30 and he'll likely have 5 WCs, and THEN move to another team to win some more.

Sucks to be you haters

2006 - Vettel tops FP2 in Turkey. (This where I told glenspen he's going to be a WC someday)
2007 - Vettel steps in for Kubica in USGP and places 8th in his first GP in a car he never even drove nor the track. Later he replaces scott speed at Toro Rosso and that car was a POS, so not great out of the gate like with BMW, but does score 4th in China.
2008 - Vettel gets the full Toro Rosso seat, which is till a POS, but he drives the **** out of it, and after a bunch of RET, he's starts scoring some points and even wins at Monza. No one should be able to do that with that car.
2009 - First full year at RBR and doesn't disappoint. Runner up to Butters in the WC, Wins several races. RBR catches it's stride.


The rest is history... Kid is a phenom, yet some think he ain't **** until he can do it away from RBR.

HELLO! Every ****ing driver wants to be with RBR. Why the hell would he want to leave just to prove you losers wrong?

Horner appears to be playing a crafty game because by refusing to rule Alonso out of the running, he knows it could unsettle the man he sees as the biggest threat to Vettel's hopes of a fourth successive title this season.

I'm not going to knock Vettel, he is one mighty driver. After Brazil 2012, I felt he deserved the championships he's won. I, too agree that put them in the same equipment, Hamilton and Alonso will beat him.

If we're going to put Monza 2008 as a yard stick, then Fisi is up there too as a top driver with his performance at Belgium in 2009.

I don't know how Alonso is going to get out of his contract that goes to 2016, but I don't see him driving a Ferrari next year.

Giancarlo was underrated. He's got some wins but was always the #2.

Don't forget Japan 2005 ;-)
