Murmurings that Kimi's move to RBR might be done already.

Why would RBR bring in another top driver, alongside Vettel?

I remember when Hamilton was pleading with RBR to hire him, they made the decision against Hamilton because they didnt want to be involved with managing 2 big personalities and perhaps upset the team dynamic. Why then, would they go and hire Kimi?

This makes no sense to me.

Kimi would probably be easier to manage than Webber though :) as he does not really care for the politics.

True. But Kimi isnt the problem. Vettel is the problem. He is going to throw his toys of the pram, for sure if/when Kimi beats him in a race or qualifying session.

I believe, that this was the reason why Horner didnt want Hamilton, even though Hamilton was requesting a seat at RBR, alongside Vettel.

I'd rather keep Webber.
Webber-Vettel is a multiple-championship winning partnership (even in 2013, they are leading both championships) and there is no reason for a change, unless Webber wants to quit.

But Vettel is awesome according to you and going to be the bestest driver ever smashing every record? why would Kimi beat him?
 
Sky have Barcelona testing highlights on the Sky 3D channel.

Pretty cool, though no way i can last 4 hours watching something in 3D. Makes my eyes water after 5min...
