We still don't know if all the teams will make it to next season either.

I will try to keep this thread up to date as and when information is available.

I'll update the OP later.

Not surprised by the Vettel news but think he wil regret his decision.

Talk of Alonso taking a year out, surely he will go to Mclaren which means Button's F1 career is over.

The only chance Button has for next year is if the top teams have to run a 3rd car if the bottom teams don't make it.

So many people saying he is old and past it, well if that's true you would think more of these young pretenders that came in would actually be destroying him. Yet they are not. He might be well past his best, doesn't say much for the drivers that keep getting paired with him.

Mclaren would be mental to get rid of him to keep KM, if they have hired Alonso.

If Alonso is a free agent, Mercedes should hire him not Mclaren. You don't let the best driver go to a rival.

I didn't say Button was old and past it. :confused:

I'm a Button fan and just being realistic in that I can't see McLaren retaining him now that Alonso looks like he's on his way there and where else would he go?

Vettel could spend 10 years at Ferrari. Look at what the last German to spend a decade at Ferrari did? And they were underperforming when he joined...

But Ferrari currently don't have a Todt/Brawn/Byrne partnership to bring Ferrari back to winning ways. Schumacher built Ferrari around him and that's why they had great success. The question is can Vettel do similar? Time will tell I guess.

Well after a few calm years, silly season is living up to its name this year! If you believe all that's been stated then:

Alonso is leaving Ferrari, staying at Ferrari, joining McLaren, joining Mercedes, joining Mercedes in a year, joining Williams, and taking a year out.
Vettel is leaving Red Bull, joining McLaren, joining Ferrari, and without a drive.
Hamilton has a contract at Mercedes for 2015, doesn't have a contract with Mercedes for 2015, and is joining McLaren.

I think that just about sums it up. :D
 
Alonso’s options for 2015

According to F1 gossip, Fernando Alonso is faced with a dilemma for next season. Here are the pros and cons of his three options for 2015.

Stay at Ferrari
Pros: Would really annoy Sebastian Vettel. Has finally found quiet lavatory at factory in which to have morning dump. Team already flexible about taking time off to have eyebrow partitioned.
Cons: Still can’t remember anyone’s name. Had been looking forward to betraying them this year. Can’t understand a word the other one is saying.

Move to McLaren
Pros: State-of-the-art eyebrow partitioning facility. Has already betrayed them once so wouldn’t be expecting it a second time.
Cons: Hates being made to take shoes off before entering factory. Can’t stay at Woking branch of Premier Inn after what happened last time with mini kettle. Inherent mistrust of the Danish.

Take year off, go to Mercedes in 2016
Pros: Get to spend more time partitioning eyebrow. 12 months off from Felipe Massa endlessly asking if they’re still friends. Cycling thing.
Cons: Will spend year worrying about loss of Air Miles. Eyebrow doesn’t go well with silver. Might get bored of not being able to betray anyone and accidentally betray self.

:D
 
Finally, good news for Jenson. Don't buy into what Ron is saying, I had hoped him returning to McLaren would be a good thing but so far it seems not. Time will tell.
