For your retirement year, coming 2nd and not being allowed to overtake Vettel > coming 10th and not being allowed to overtake Alonso.

Ah so next year's performance levels have been decided, cool :)

Probably best to leave it there as you have gone down a crazy route ;)

But yes coming 10th in a Ferrari probably means more to the majority of drivers than coming 2nd in a Red Bull, Look at Seb winning titles at Red Bull but still his aim is to drive for Ferrari, says a lot really :)

Good news :) yes pretty crazy to assume Ferrari will stay where they are even this year never mind next, but if you want to decide the order for the next year based on a rumour then so be it :D

So Seb title winner in 2013 then, we heard it here first :)

So Ferrari will win the championships if it rains at every race then. Well, they certainly were thinking outside the box when designing that car...bit of a long shot though :p

Hard to tell, anyone who doesn't 100% agree with you gets labelled either a flamer or a troll.

But I can't remember trying to say Ferrari would suddenly turn it around? I hope they will, for the good of F1 as a whole, but in all seriousness I think they have got fundamental issues in the car which a single test in Mugello won't solve.
 
haha great comment by Webba, seems it's dry today. Sauber seem the team with the most updates so far be interesting to see if they take another step forward. Ferrari still toying around with the exhaust position, Scarbs tweeted they would have new rear bodywork and exhausts on Thurs which seems a bit strange to be wasting 2 days messing around with something they are going to change. I guess they could be testing some other things today.
 
Makes sense I guess, Mr Men. Their car right now is a known quanitity and by changing other things one at a time they can easily test if it works or not. Totally change how the rear of the car performs and you would struggle to asses whether the performance increase is due to the small changes or the new rear end.

Kimi's contract with Lotus is 2 years. I doubt he would be interested in a Ferrari seat though.

So who else is 'available'? Hamilton doesn't have a contract for next year, neither does Webber or Massa. Schumacher has an option for one that isn't yet confirmed. Thats about it up the front end isn't it? What about Rosberg?

no chance of kimi, Hamilton or Rosberg going to Ferrari
webber maybe, they wont keep massa, Schumacher a no also
