Vettel has repeatedly said he will likely retire young from F1, so by the time Hamilton's next Merc contract is up, Vettel will be on his way out of the sport.
. He's said many times that he doesn't have a desire to outdo his idol & friend. As said, he will retire in his early 30s IMO and be gone from Motorsport to live a quiet life with his wife and kid(s).
Haha, yes come to think of it, Kimi doesn't have time to waste with non-winning teams. So Kimi out after his stint with Ferrari then leaving an empty slot on the grid.ChrisF1 wrote:Why are people suggesting daft things like Raikkonen to Force India (When Raikkonen finishes with Ferrari, he'll finish with F1) and that Rosberg would leave for 2016 - he just signed a new contract and I don't think his spat with Hamilton would force him out of the best car on the grid.
Just curious - why don't you think he's special? He did outperform Massa last year by quite a margin and ended up 4th overall.Jonnycraig wrote:I've always struggled with the rating of Bottas as his reputation appears to owe more to his friendship with the media than on track performance.
In the media room, he's the best young driver in the series. A nailed on champion and future great.
On track, to me, he's a pretty run of the mill paydriver.
I'm not saying he didn't was better than Massa, but I'm not sure if we can really say that it was for "quite a margin". It was, actually, the smaller margin in the big teams, look:n04h f1 wrote: Just curious - why don't you think he's special?

Nice of you to ignore this season. No he didn't outperform considerably he scored more points and was overall slightly better. 4th is good but car and competition mattered. When Williams had their best chances to bother Merc it was Massa in front: Monza, Austria (better pace but in front only through pitstops), Abu Dhabi, Interlagos. (Canada with problems but only 0,03 in Q and in Germany it was Bottas of course.)n04h f1 wrote:Just curious - why don't you think he's special?

so my point is you should expect much more from a supposed top driver.
? I've heard third option after Alonso to Merc (Wolff and it's not happening) and Ferrari-Raikkonen rumours because they're both Finns I guess. I don't care but it depends on their approach, so driving badly below Massa's level might help if they don't want anyone too good. I'm not even touching the logic of keeping Raikkonen.
