17 million pounds was what he got in 2009. Mutually knowing his stock has dropped since leaving F1 Any idea what he and Ferrari settled on in '14 and '15?

As much as I like Hulk, I somewhat wish Williams would take Nasr back for 2016

Plus Raikkonnen will never drive for a second class team.

Just read a story that said Vettel wants Ferrari to maintain kimi next season. Typical, he wants a teammate he knows he can beat.

26 million according to the internet, but you know what that can be like, its very steep.

If Kimi does resign I think any major moves go out the window for next season.

Basically more than Vettel was getting at RedBull, A few millions short of Alonso. 14 million more than Button. How distressing.

If Nasr keeps doing well, I think that he has an almost certain place in Williams for 2017, replacing Felipe. But he still has a long way to go and many things can happen. He can go bad and get no place at all, or he can go fine enough to find a place in a better team.

I was hoping Nasr would replace Bottas, so Williams would have Filipe and Filipe...
Red Bull already have Daniil and Daniel, so then we just need the Hulk to join Rosberg at Mercedes to complete the "Nico Show"!! :D

So in 2017 itll be Hamilton & Massa being the oldest/most experienced f1 guys on the grid, with Lewis having a couple of years to go still.
What about Rosberg? He was in the sport before Hamilton...
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

young enough to still have quite a couple of years to go. i just mentioned the ones approaching or being in an age that in modern F1 generally the 'natural' end of things. Schumacher in modern F1 being the 'much' oldest is rather an exception than rule. And look what happened there.

Well, Massa could change his mind, but he often says that doesn't want to be in the sport if doesnt get a competitive car. He even advised Barrichello to retire instead of driving so far behind in his days.

I rly like Massa, and hope he show enough pride to leave if his conditions get worse.

I think its very likely for Kimi retire at the end of this season and maybe Button. Next year Massa and Button. And Alonso in the end of 17.
