Trading a 4 time WDC for a past-his-prime Alonso would be foolish, as would Vettel going to a team that seemingly couldn't organize a bake sale and is on it's way to being competition for Marussia.

I also have to say that Ricciardo didn't impress me in the RBR junior team, so it is possible that this year is an aberration, and they would be crazy to make a change until they can be certain that it isn't.

If Vettel moves will it be taken as a sign that he has surrendered?

 

[FB]

Only if he signs the contract in Berlin whilst surrounded by Allied soldiers.

 

[The Pits]

It will to those to whom it serves a purpose, as with most snippets, whether true or false.

 

[RasputinLives]

....or at versailles.....and we all know what happened then.

Weren't their rumours that Vettel was moving to Ferrari even before Danny started beating him? When Schumacher moved in 96 did we see it as a sign he'd surrendered to Johnny Herbert?

If it is true by the way I guess we understand another reason Alonso has been giving Ricciardo so many complements in the media.

Alonso can sor Red Bull better than Vettel will sort Ferrari

Ferrari is such a political minefield which would test most driver's patience. Schumacher had Jean Todt dealing with the politics for him I don't see anyone else capable of managing the politics of Maranello to shield Vettel

Saying that I don't think Horner can manage Alonso

Seb going to Ferrari just when he will end his tenure at Red Bull being well beaten by Danny boy .. make what you will of that

At least JEV's sales pitch is creditable unlike

Nick" I am good enough to be in F1" Leidfeld

Paul " I should be driving for a top team " Di Resta

 

[RasputinLives]

Wasn't their rumours Horner was going to Ferrari too?

 

[Il_leone]

RasputinLives With regards to Wharlein I guess being part of the Mercedes Junior team is suppose to helps to get the opportunity but their other driver Vietoris is 2nd in the DTM

@RasputlinLives Horner to Ferrari

 

[Road of Bones]

Yeah, but look what being Mercedes' reserve driver has done for Sam Bird, or Ant Davidson...

 

[Mephistopheles]

This rumour ain't true you know..

 

[soccerman17]

It would make sense for both. And Ricciardo v Alonso would be epic.

 

[RasputinLives]

This rumour ain't true you know..

They ssid that about Kimi going to Ferrari this time last year.

You never know in F1.

 

[The Pits]

they also said it about jb to mclaren, lewis to mercedes and michael schumacher making a comeback!

 

[ATL11]

@RasputlinLives Horner to Ferrari

Think someone will go to Ferrari they way they are retiring off the staff, could it be Adrian Newey who's been fooling us all along?

 

[Chad Stewarthill]

Horner, Newey and Vettel to Ferrari? Now that would be a turn up. And where would that leave Alonso if he'd gone the other way?

 

[FB]

Whitmarsh and the Gordon Coppuck? (look the name up if your under 40)

 

[sushifiesta]

I just don't see Alonso as a Red Bull driver, the two don't seem a good match to me. Besides that, the only thing Red Bull can offer Alonso is Adrian Newey and he's buggering off to make boats or something.

 

[Il_leone]

sushifiesta agree plus there is no way Horner could control him and he would be at odds with Helmut who would want Ricciardo to doo well and promote one of the academy drivers to the main team
