That’s not a shocker. He won’t have a shortage of suitors. I wouldn’t rule out Redbull either regardless of what Marko has said in the past. He and Horner are still really tight. I do think if it’s not a good fit he wouldn’t have any problem walking away from F1. I’m surprised he stayed with Ferarri as long as he did. The crap from above is so counter productive it isn’t even funny at Ferarri.
I don't see any of the current top teams taking him...and I don't see him taking a pay cut for the rest.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Believe I've spotted the cockpit now inclosed as are the top fuel cars ? Also a big fan of the 8, 10, & 12 hole motors, little engines don't have the HP sound. Closer to the rice burners, reduced weight is a big plus. That said F1s remind me of a jet fighter.

LH44 wants to win championships. no way is he going to Ferrari. especially with boy wonder over there. He isnt going to leave a good thing. he wants all the records, with Merc he has a shot, he isnt jumping into the unknown by going to Ferrari. Plus the way Ferrari manages their team no way would he be able to carry his lifestyle over to that team.

Man I hope you're right. LH going to Ferrari at this point makes zero sense (although what in F1 does?). So Hamilton and Bottas stay at Mercedes, Red Bull is locked and loaded and maybe Ricardo slips into Vettel's seat. So where does Seb go? Is he looking to drive around and just enjoy F1, like Raikkonen or does he want to race for wins and championships? If it is the latter then a move to Renault might make sense. If it's the former he has nowhere to go. Personally if Ricardo does go to Ferrari i'd like to see Alonso get his old seat. Hey, I guy can dream right?

I think Vettel would be content to walk away, I sure hope he doesn’t. I like Alonso as well, he seems to be more grounded now. His attempted black mailing at McLaren that’s seen the light of day now is probably his biggest obstacle to getting back in. His issue’s with Honda don’t help either.

Vettel i believe is out of F1, no seats there for him to win and he doesnt seem like the one to run mid pack. I can see "Happy" leave to Ferrari. He always wants to be #1 driver, but i think him losing out on the switch to Renault opened his eyes. I believe he would rather be #2 and on a podium then #1 and racing mid pack if he is lucky hoping for 6-7 place.

I would Take the pay cut and stay at Ferrari if it were me. Hopefully he does not regret his decision in the future. I still like Vettel and think he is a good driver.

He went from a team that was a top notch out fit to one that largely operates on laurels. I could see how the idea of Ferarri wore off real quick when he got a reality dose of how bad the car was.
