Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.
Who cares? If it's bound to happen, then it will. Nothing we can do about it. Until then, I think it is not worthwhile to speculate about it. Let's just enjoy the current show.
It would be "too funny" to see two emotional types on one team .. just imagine Alonso and Vettel together. What a management nightmare that would be. If Vettel has problems with Webber, well just multiply that by a thousand! Sure would be interesting to see though ..
indeed, they wouldnt last together for a month, Alonso went crazy on a debuting hamilton, guess what happens with a driver that is just a better racer then him.
Vettel is too immature and full of his self. Ferrari comes first at ferrari not the drivers.
I'd say by the time he is 27 or 28 he may be eligible. I just can't see him there before Hamilton, and when Hamilton is there, he may be reluctant to join.
Looking at the kinds of drivers that join Ferrari, Vettel is actually a very risky proposition in terms of his maturity.
Massa was a very mature and professional guy when he joined. Kimi was definitely level headed though he was very quiet.
These 2 guys were champion material before they joined or either was driving a ferrari powered car for years. I always remember for Felipe joined, he would always speak of driving the real deal, not just a car with the ferarri engine. He would say this repeatedly. Maybe this had to with him joining as well; a driver completely devoted to the prancing horse.
Kimi was a proven race winner and WDC contender. He was also, IMO, very threatening to shumacher, who was the best at the time. His choice was a no brainer.
Vettel now... he's just very fast. He's not really a threatening driver, doesn't have much experience or learn from his previous mistakes. Doesn't show much mastery or presence on the track like a raikonen or shumacher.
All in all he is not a proven driver as yet to sit in a red car. I'd say Hamilton gets there in 4 years. Vettel, maybe 5, or maybe he'll be at Mclaren before ferrari?
Hamilton driving for Ferrari? In an alternate reality, perhaps. But I have a hard time seeing him drive for any team other than McLaren. And why would he? McLaren is the best over-all team. They may not always be the best, but they are consistently among the best and have been so for 25 years.
I do think that Vettel is exceptional. But I doubt he will come to Ferrari with Alonso there. I can see him joining Mercedes, if Brawn gets his groove back.
It could happen, but like someone said, if and when Ross Brawn gets his stuff back up to snuff, it'd be good to have Vettel at Mercedes GP because of the whole German relationship.
I'd stay put at Red Bull for as long as possible if I were an F1 driver. A lot of good publicity, amazing equipment, some of the best engineers in the sport, and your liekly to have a good teammate alongside you.
However, I dont know if any of this compares to the prestige and history of The Scuderia.
