Vettel's next team mate SPECULATIONOMETER

[Mephistopheles]

Surely this thread should be closed now, as there is no more speculation involved...

Mephistopheles I mean you never really do know for sure do you? Just look at Razia this year.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Yeah, until the ink is dry on the contract and the new team mate has pictures in a Red Bull race suit I wouldn't count anything out.

JEV not only has beaten Ricciardo last year, but is winning again this year against him and has the highest result. Not sure I understand. Nothing against Ricciardo personally, but I feel like you shouldn't get promoted to the (most likely) 4 time reigning world champions without beating your teammate.

yes I keep saying the same. If you want a top drive them first thing you need to do is beat your team mate. Someone should tell Paul Di Resta that too.

Someone should tell Paul Di Resta that too.

It's kinda difficult to beat your teammate when you've got the pace in qualifying but through no fault of your own you keep getting sent to the back of the grid for the race....

Mephistopheles - It's more difficult when you somehow manage to blame the team for consistently going out of Q1; many of those times showing you've clearly not gone fast enough.

RasputinLives _ please see Nigel Mansell I think he lost to his teammate every year until he beat Piquet !

--------
Horner says there are more drivers in the mix for the seat

apparently Ricciardo is too fat for next year;s Red Bull

What surprises me is Horner is the one saying there are more drivers being considered and Helmut Marko seems very silent all of a sudden

 

[Mephistopheles]

So now the people in the frame are Kimi, but if Kimi goes to Ferrari then there is Alonso and mutterings about Button are starting to emerge.

And of course Fat Ric.....

 

[RasputinLives]

Button vs Vettel would be interesting. There would be a lot of people hoping that both lost

Team JB!

I think Paffett may be the dark horse candidate for this seat.

TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!

 

[Il_leone]

well supposedly some suggest Webber should hang up now and RIcciardo fast tracked in given Mark is so peed off with just about everything in the team

-------

RIcciardo - that will make Australia happy..now will Mark be invited in the Red Bull paddock as Daniel's mentor or manager.

Team JB!

Yep give him a couple of months he'll soon have team eating out of his hand...

I like Hulkenberg for that seat opposite Vettel in the Red Bull garage, even though his name hasn't often been thrown in the hat.

Next season Nico could find himself with a ride on a top level team, with all of the possible movement which is about to happen.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I just like Hulkenberg...

Check out Vettel comments last Thursday. HE seems to be talking about a specific driver. There's your answer.

What did he say?
