That's a tough call. Lewis currently leads the Top Gear F1 Drivers boards (one second faster than Seb!), but Kimi drove in very wet conditions. But then when Lewis drove in the wet as well, he was still faster than Kimi.

Alonso is not on the board.

My gut feeling is that Alonso would win in a four-way race. I have no real arguments to back that up though.

I'll say flip a coin. All things being equal it is to tough for me to call.

 

Where will Massa likely go and who replaces him with the Prancing Ponies?

 

I was surprised he lasted this long.......so, who's in?

I heard the only reason they kept him this year is that he was the cheapest 1st tier driver in F1

NBC Sports reports:

"Felipe Massa has told the world he will not return to Ferrari in 2014. That leaves one very likely replacement at the Scuderia, in the form of Kimi Raikkonen.

According to a BBC report, Raikkonen’s deal with Ferrari was “said to be completed on Monday.†That would see Raikkonen back at the team where he won the 2007 Formula One World Championship, but was dismissed after the 2009 season for Fernando Alonso.
.....
The BBC suggests Nico Hulkenberg would move into Lotus, then, to replace Raikkonen."

 

One thing you have to say about Vettel ---- He is not greedy:

He's just a crappy teammate...







And Kimi is in at Ferrari! This will be entertaining!

 

It's kind of a shame really. He's had more starts for Ferrari than anyone except Schumi, and in 2008 he was driving fantastically. Too bad he's just not been the same since his accident.

Still, it's time.

Good luck Felipe!

 

Sad for Massa, he has nothing to be ashamed of when one looks at his record at Ferrari... But Lotus is the biggest looser here...

 

Honestly, I am surprised by the extremely low proportion of income from endorsements for the F1 guys. Perhaps I should get into F1 driver management?

This will be very interesting. Two top dogs in the same team.

 

Montezemolo must have had to eat a LARGE helping of crow to get Kimi back...... after firing him a year before his contract was up to get Alonso on board.

And look how well they've done since ....

2014 is going to be such an interesting year in F1......I think it's going to be crazy!

Still a lot of silliness to be had in this years silly season, lots of unaccounted for seats out there......but the first domino has fallen at last......

 

Looks like I will become part of the tifosi next season. Feels like Ferrari is trying to make a real run at the Manufacturers Championship next year. I forsee there being team orders issued based on who is the fastest in each specific race, not neccessarily based on who is higher in the Driver's Championship.

 

I bet Kimi is laughing all the way to the bank. Ferrari pays him 20 million euros to leave a year early & now hires him back.

It will be a fun filled year in 2014. They can give team orders, but do you think either driver will follow them?

 

Teammates!!!
