Adrian Sutil has secured a deal with Sauber to ensure himself a race seat for 2014. He will effectively make the inverse move of Nico Hulkenberg who joined Force India following his departure at Sauber.
If that is the only reason of Daniel's race issues, then all he has to do is not run at Q3 and start from P10 instead pf P8 with any tire he wants.djos wrote:Choosing new tires of whatever spec you want is always strategically helpful to those who just miss out on q3 - we've been seeing it all year!LionKing wrote:Ricciardo again finished behind Vergne this race.
They should get Kimi but whether Kimi wants it or not I don't know.
Now that would be an interesting pairing!raymondu999 wrote:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRYouzaKZq4[/youtube]
Same, I think It would be Senna vs Prost all over again! Bring it on I say!raymondu999 wrote:Alonso-Vettel would be an absolute wet dream for me - and I think it will be very close between the two.
I WANT it to happen. Sadly, I don't THINK it will happen.
I don't see it at all. Who would be their number 1? I certainly do not see Dan as being worthy of being Ferrari's No. 1 yet.djos wrote:PS, Dan to Ferrari perhaps?
Agreed, he's not ready for #1 in a front team yet ... Kimi back to Ferrari?raymondu999 wrote:I don't see it at all. Who would be their number 1? I certainly do not see Dan as being worthy of being Ferrari's No. 1 yet.djos wrote:PS, Dan to Ferrari perhaps?

Feels like he was hit with a voodoo spell in 2007. Who would have done such a thing?CHT wrote:somehow I have this weird feeling about Alonso future with Ferrari after yesterday's race.
Things are definitely getting very interesting.
Won't happen, he's well past his F1 used by date.Joie de vivre wrote:I'd love to see Loeb in F1
I love the one about Kimi being straight. Remember that Vettel last year accused Alonso and Ferrari to play mind games with him by bringing up the story of Vettel to Ferrari?Seb Vettel wrote:I’d prefer Kimi [to Alonso]. I need to be careful now, but nothing against Fernando, I really respect him a lot as a driver, but I respect Kimi on track, off track because he has always been very straight with me. From that point of view it would be a bit easier.

Surely Alonso will not inherit Webber's seat easily. A lot of unlikely things would have to come together to facilitate that. But he may see a way to express his frustration at having to drive the wheels off their mediocre cars and not getting a third title in four years. This could spell a new chapter in the story of Alonso at Ferrari similar to Hamilton at McLaren. He came from happy camper over committed to career end and down to totally unhappy about competitiveness.JA wrote:All the signs are that Ferrari’s 2013 championship challenge is blunted, new developments have not kept pace meanwhile the momentum is now with Mercedes. Next year Mercedes is expected to have a title contending car under the new rules and Red Bull is certain to be the main opposition.

Industry insight puts Mercedes ahead of Renault with Ferrari behind.
He has every right to be unhappy too, the best driver in the world, at least for my money, is yet again in a car not really capable of winning the title. For the 4th, maybe 3rd season in a row. Ferrari are lucky the have him, they would be nowhere without him.WhiteBlue wrote:http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2013/07/w ... -red-bull/
There are some real gems in it:
