Like I said a few years ago: Vettel will be to F1 what Loeb is to WRC. He will eclipse Schumacher and Senna...

So long as he doesn't die, or lose a limb...

Next year may be different if Red Bull gets the 2014 car completely wrong or another team gets their own 2014 car absolutely right. It's highly unlikely Red Bull's 2014 car won't be fast, if not one of the fastest, but it's still possible. As for Alonso and Hamilton, you're right.

as long as RBR has Newey, I'm sure his car designs will be front runner. With Vettel pretty much taking 2013, Newey will have 10 cars under his belt that he designed and won the championship.

That's if Alonso is still in the sport.

Vettel is a prodigy. I won't knock him for that. I wouldn't say what Schumacher and Loeb did to their sport was really a good thing.

It's not VERY likely, but it can happen.

That car was getting fast. He was on pole, leading, and was very quick.

If you mean the steering wheel breaking, well, that's Senna's fault. He didn't care how they did it, he wanted that wheel closer to him. A new, correct length column would have been better, but the welded piece shoud've done the job.

Official! Massa confirmed that he will be leaving Ferrari after the 2013 season.

From 2014 i will no longer be driving for Ferrari. I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together. Thank you also to my wife and all of my family, to my fans and all my Sponsors. From each one of you I have always received a great support! Right now I want to push as hard as possible with Ferrari for the remaining 7 races. For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the Championship which remains my greatest objective! Thank you all. Felipe

It's about time this happened. I wonder if he'll find another team?
