    As most of see either Kimi/Felipe leaving next year and many prospective drivers, who do you see sitting in the red cars in the next few years.

    2009-Kimi and Alonso
    2010-Kimi and Kubica
    2011-Kubica and Vettel/Rosberg

    Where do you get this crap about ""most? Most who?? Certainly you are not talking about people within the sport? Please be specific with who is "most".

    Personally, I have no doubt that Ferrari will stay the same in 2009. Its 2010 that is in question. Neither is leaving next year, unless Kimi gets serious about MotoGP, or Massa is assured #1 at either McLaren or BMW, and I doubt that is happening. In 2009 it will be Kimi/Felipe.

    And let's get real, BMW is not going to give up Kubica, Red Bull is not going to give up Vettel and I am not sure I would want him anyway, Rosberg has not really performed well so far this year, and Alonso will not be at Ferrari as long as Raikkonen is still there.

    And if I were to go for a real stretch to replace a driver at Ferrari, you failed to mention the one driver that I would consider, Heikki Kovalainen.

    In 2010 I am thinking it will be two new drivers, Kimi and Felipe will move on.

    There has been much speculation about the Ferrari drivers and many Ferrari fans see a change in the lineup in the coming year. Feel free to make your predictions for the coming years. That sound better?

    Forgot to add 2018: Mick Schumacher

    Its so funny that you think Kimi and Alonso will be team mates next year. Especially how Mr Mozzarella himself said he doesn't want Alonso and Kimi as a team. Maybe Alonso and Massa, but I have a feeling Ferrari just don't like Alonso. He's given them a lot of grief, like Schumacher's penalty in Hungary 2006.

    You seem to always find a line for your anti Massa theme. The lineup will remain the same for next season at Ferrari. Nobody can even predict the year after.

    I doubt Ferrari would put in 2 brand new drivers (to ferrari) in the same year. But while we're talking about something 2 years away that no one can predict anyways, I vote for Rossi, and perhaps by that time the McLaren will be uncompetitive enough for Hamilton to be swayed towards the red.

    I would like to drive for S.F. I'm willing to be second driver to Kimi for now (not sure about Massa though). Hell, I would even drive with an entirely new guy -- if the money's right. Think I'll submit my application at the end of the season and see if they bite.

    rosberg and kubica are at the top of their list. I think Vettle's contract with Red Bull runs out in 2010. My sense is Rosberg moves on from Williams as they will most certainly pick up their option on Nico Hulkenberg (another Webber protoge) who is the current tester. I think in 2010 it will be Kimi and Rosberg. Massa is done in 2010 (if i remember correctly his contract was extended thru 2009 with an option on 2010). Also I think Alonso and Kubica for BMW in 2010. Alonso will stay at Renault for 1 more year. Remember 2009 is a clean slate for car design and that is when rival teams like Honda, Toyota can make up serious ground and for that matter Ferrari, Mclaren and BMW could fall.

    Kimi will be at Ferrari until he leaves the sport. They now have a working relationship that proves they can win. So why would he leave, and why would they want him to. The marque of motorsports and the most talented driver in the sport...thats a match that will only end in retirement.

    And this Vettle thing has got to go. The kid has raced in a total of about 2 races and hasn't finished a first lap since kart. Why is everyone so high on this kid. He has to prove to me that he can actually race, not just moments of brilliance.

    Kimi and someone else and not Alonso. Maybe Davidson, seems fast in testing when at Honda and has experience. Good #2 and maybe better since he has never had a top ride. He might be a very good driver

    Kimi and Alonso in 2009. Alonso will beat Kimi to the WDC in a thriller, down to the wire. Ferrari will utterly dominate the WCC.

    I find the fascination with Vettel really odd. I am not impressed with the guy, he ddn't show particularly well against Liuzzi last year and appears to have his hands full with Bourdais this season. Maybe he will have a better showing next year when he is paired with Massa... :p

    Save it for the silly season. It's like carrying a black purse in summer.
