Vettel out at Red Bull (official team statement)

Please keep in mind that Rosberg/Hamliton are not guaranteed drivers at Mercedes next year even though they have contracts to next year.

Hamilton to Mclaren, and Vettel to Mercedes, say, might happen instead of Vettel to Ferrari in place of Alonso or Kimi.

 

lauda just ruled it out as we speak. Not that he has any say but I think that is conclusive enough

 

Nikki Lauda said on SkyF1, that Alonso was officially released from his contract on Thursday...

 

If Alonso has finally had enough of falling short at Ferrari then the team had no real choice but to get Vettel as no one else was really available!

Hamilton knows that Mercedes are still going to be the team to beat next year, so there's no way he's going to leave them, Rosberg's in the same boat, and the likes of Hulkenberg/Perez/Bianchi etc., etc., are not seen as being up to the standard of Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso.

 

It couldn't have been that "official" as no one else seems to have heard about it!

 

In Paris on thursday LdM said, while he's here the team and Fernando are sitting togehter in Japan and discussing his contract.

 

I wonder how much seb paid for the Ferrari he bought his dad??
You'd think the cans would have given him an infinity wink wink

The BBC confirmed that Vettel is going to Ferrari. Good news.

BBC Sport - Fernando Alonso to be replaced by Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Frankly I am sad yet not surprised by this news.

 

No one can call Alonso a quitter, that's for sure. He really gave it his best shot and was constantly let down by the team.

They must be promising Vettel the earth!

 

+1

Bye Fernando...

Funny how everyone hated vettel last year (I'm assuming half of you
Guys did too but I didn't belong to fchat then to know) and now you're all like yay for vettel and fhk fernando.


Fernando is unquestionably the quicker driver so not sure why you're all so happy. Vettel and kimi can now battle it out for tenth rofl

 

This might be true but Fernando is a primadonna. Behind closed doors Ferrari technicans say that they are frustrated about his behavior.
Compare his behavior to Michael in the years 1996 to 1999. Was he blaming the team or the car for the lack of success in public?

 

Not me. I've been a fan of Seb since he was just a 19yo test driver for BMW. And while I haven't been as in-your-face as some about my dislike for Alonso, I'm ecstatic he will no longer be a part of my favorite team.

 

how do you know that?

 

Me too. ...even though a couple of things he's done has given me the irrits

 

Crazy black you are right on the spot if Fred wants to call his car crap in the media he might want to start that cycle team because most of the money in f1 comes from people who want to sell cars

 

LOL.

 

LOL.

 

Go read the the F1 racing interview with Pat Symonds he cuts up Fred real bad about his attitude and I think pat Symonds knows a little bit about winning in f1 even ferrari cool aid drinkers will have to say pat Symonds has some knowledge about f1

 

Look up assumptions.

 

Link?

Attitude or not what goes on behind close doors can never be seen clearly by the fans. He gets ferrari more points and that's all that should really matter. I will be sad to see him
Go. Nothing against vettel I think he's a solid driver. Think alonso is on par with senna for sure. A good car can really flatter a driver and he's consistently a second above his team mates. That is some impressive stuff

 

Your point? I don't need to look up anything...I'm not attacking anyone here.

 

One of the great drives in f1 was 2008 Monza gp by vettel and the only chance for Ferrari next year is wet races

 

Talking to them. Last time 4th of September during my visit in Maranello because of the private viewing of the now called Speciale A.
There is much more to tell but those talkings are private.
