Throw Alonso into that mix

 

[Jrooney06]

I would love to see George Russell get a decent seat however this all shakes out. If Vettel calls it a day maybe there would be an option for him to get a half decent seat. If Ferrari put Giovinazzi in the seat I’ll have lost all faith.

He'd need to lose a bit of weight first

Then again, Renault might be the only team he's not mightily p***ed off in the past so who knows

Ric has no business at Ferrari - fun guy but aint gonna win them a title and isnt going to play second fiddle to CL

 

[Delboy23]

I’d say vettel will be on the phone to toto about a potential seat. Toto is interested saying “naturally we must take this development into consideration."

Cost Hamilton his bargaining for his 50 million a season he wants

Silverstone are just being greedy though.

Read an article there to say Riccardo has signed for McLaren for 2021

Vettel to Renault then maybe?

 

[DC.]

It’s looking like his only option of a drive. Can’t see him at Aston Martin/Racing Point.

Seems like Sainz and Ricciardo could be both announced this week.

 

[svensktoppen]

I think Vettel has had enough to be honest, no point languishing away just to make up the numbers.

He's off for a nice retirement in sports cars, maybe give the triple crown a go.

 

[pablo]

Id quite like the idea of going to a smaller team and helping build them up but in reality you just look like a has been who cant cut it any more

 

[DC.]

In a dream world I’d love him to go to Williams and offer to drive FOC and help drag them back up the grid. All of which isn’t going to materialise but still, one can dream.

 

[Robert]

Is it not a case of Vettel relies on the team rather than Vettel makes the team? The RB wonder years was down to the dominance of the car he was given, and look how the dummy was spat out when they no longer had the best car on the grid. As good as merc and Hamilton are, it could have been vettel with a championship recently if everything gelled properly, silly mistakes by him and the team screwed that up. I can’t see him have the patience or the skill to develop a lesser team further up the grid.

He would need some serious engineering input. Likes of Russell is by no means a bad driver at all and he didn't get results in the car.

I'd love something like that to happen too, but I don't think the perfect storm of Todt, Schumacher and Brawn happens too ofter unfortunately!

Sainz set for Ferrari; Ricciardo to McLaren

Carlos Sainz is poised to replace Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari with Daniel Ricciardo set to take the Spaniard's seat at McLaren.

Good luck to Carlos at Ferrari. I think he’s potentially a great driver and seems to be a genuinely nice lad. If he turns out like his old man he’ll be OK.

At least all this has given us something to talk about

 

[Crow555]

And if the season ever starts, we at least have some clue who isn't getting the good parts in their respective teams.

‘All the success it deserves....’

[DC.]

[Jrooney06]

Now who gets the Renault seat? Alonso? Vettel? Or could we even see someone like Kyvat or Gasly.

Esteban Ocon - being French n all!

 

[DC.]

Ocon is already a Renault driver. Ricciardo’s teammate for this season.

Looking increasingly like Alonso will return to Reno
