Don't Red Bull drivers receive quite a low baseline salary topped up with lucrative bonuses based on results anyway? So it might be a case of "if you can beat Vettel you'll get paid more than Vettel".

Sorry, I got lost in all the bickering

No bickering here.
It is probably true that the Red Bull drivers are on a low base pay with a bonus scheme however my point still remains that Kimi will not go to Red Bull unless he's on at least the exact same package as him and thats why I said that money is an issue. Kimi won't give an inch on status and why should he?

I see what your saying but the other argument is that he is being hired to do the same job as them and wishes to have the same pay. accepting less would indicate he's accepting second statusvin the team. I'm not arguing who deserves what I just saying Kimi's money issue with Red Bull will be don't label me number 2.
I know Nico Rosberg has something in his contract that no other driver at the team is allowed to be on more than him.
Yeah I saw that but I know it was talked about when Lewis signed for them something was brokered somewhere.
Nah, a nonsense choice. Lapdog for Vettel.
"he was been lined up to PLACE Mark Webber"
Planet F1 are awful awful jornalists!
Anyways if Ricciardo is confirmed its all boring boring boring as it'll mean no shuffle what so ever. Kimi and Grosjean will stay at Enstone and Ferrari will either hang on to Massa or pop in Bianchi to play number two. If they'd wanted to bring in Hulkenberg they'd have done it last year and they obviously don't want a driver who might rock the Fernando boat.

They're killing Vettel's brand for as long as they insulate him from a challenge he'd probably ace.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say they prob did speak to Kimi but weren't prepared to match his terms for a 'second' driver. He has been pretty down on the move for a while but then if you knew they only wanted you as number 2 then you would.
If your JEV you have to be going "I beat him on points last year, I'm ahead of him this, I have Torro Rosso's highest post Vettel result..........is it coz I is French?"

Maybe Ricciardo is the next big thing and you are all being unnecessarily hash on the lad? As I've said before, what is the point of the RB young driver program if they don't promote drivers to the main team? As for Kmi, yeah maybe he would have pushes Vettel closer but that's something none of us will ever know and we're not going to find out now.
He has too many teeth, and doesn't know how to wear a hat...
Other than that, fair play to him - hope he doesn't roll over too easily, and gets under Seb's nose from time to time
