Wasn't it said Newey will still 100% design RB11?SectorOne wrote:This is a golden ticket for Mercedes,
- Red Bull lost Vettel and will lose Newey from his current position, addition of a somewhat inexperienced driver that was the 2nd best STR driver.

Interview from October 2009:
Q: You have already left Renault and come back. Do you think you will come back again?
FA: It is impossible to say impossible, but I really think that Ferrari will be my last team. Leaving Ferrari to change team is always a step backwards. Ferrari is more than a team, and I want to leave Formula One from there.

F1Today.net has had sources reveal to them that Hamilton visited the Woking base three weeks ago to sign for the team starting from next season. The source said: "Lewis was in the Woking factory three weeks ago. He arrived by helicopter, had a conversation about two hours with the management and then left with a big smile on his face. He signed here, I can assure you. A seat fitting has not happened yet, but that will take place in the foreseeable future."
Which would throw everything wide open - Vettel to Mercedes? Alonso staying at Ferrari or retiring? Button to either of those two? Who knows....well the drivers and team managers probably do...WaikeCU wrote:http://www.f1today.net/en/news/hamilton ... n-for-2015
F1today reports that Mclaren have announced to F1Today.net that Lewis is returning to them for 2015. Not sure if BS, but it's out there.

If Seb has already set a signature on a contract with Ferrari, then he might have mixed feelings right now. I doubt he was expecting an open spot at Mercedes tbh.adrianjordan wrote:Which would throw everything wide open - Vettel to Mercedes? Alonso staying at Ferrari or retiring?
