Yeah, unless Hamilton does a Button and buys himself out of his contract, looks like the majority of driver movement is going to be next year. (Given my track record of predictions thus far this should be Chilton's cue to announce his move to Ferrari)

Interview on Sky Sports with Eric Boullier saying a McLaren Honda test is very likely before Jerez. (Abu Dhabi post-race test)
Nah. If Vettel goes to McLaren then Alonso will jump in his seat. Ferrari will then fill in Hamilton or Rosberg after a final nail plunges in the coffin at Abu Dhabi. The Mercedes door will then be open to Yuji Ide. No contest.
Customer cars, and third cars, continue to be banned: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115796 Could affect Haas and Forza Rossa, both were linked with being a customer / secondary team to Ferrari.
Not as daft as it sounds, RB get a young and dynamic partnership and McLaren get the mature brand style driver line up.
Would Red Bull take on one of Mclaren's young drivers at the expense of their own, though? They've got Kvyat and Max who could both deserve seats in a couple of years.
It would be a no brainer between Kvyat and Magnussen IMO, RBR easily have the best young driver program.
I'd say "no way would Vettel go to Ferrari when they're stuck in midfield mediocrity" but then again those were the exact circumstances when Alonso went there... I'll believe it when I see it though.
I don't see it myself. There was also a rumour that Vettel didn't fancy Kimi has his teammate when the 2nd Red Bull seat was up for grabs, although his stance may have been softened this year?
I don't see why any of the parties would be up for that deal? Vettel has hardly done much wrong this season and the Red Bull partnership looks strong. Alonso is obviously bored of Ferreri's failing but why would he go to a team that will more than likely look after their own than rally behind Alonso. If Alonso wants something new his best bet is McLaren, same goes for Vettel really. Theres not need for Vettel to move, at worst Red Bull will be second best next season.
could be announced today??? http://www.f1today.net/en/news/vettel-to-be-announced-by-ferrari-today-for-2015?
