I think as usual, the option will be Webber's to take up at the end of the season. da Costa won't be thrown straight into the senior team, and there'll be no burning desire to get Vergne or Ricciardo in there.
Personally I think Vettel should leave. They still manage him like a child; constantly telling him today to be patient even though they had no long term goal. I thought this last year too when they kept lying to him about the state of his tyres to get him to slow down late in races, it showed a lack of respect and confidence that they couldn't be honest with him, something which Vettel paid back in kind today when he ignored their team orders. It reminds of Hamilton at McLaren, they never stopped treating him like the kid they brought into the sport.
I don't think Vettel needs Red Bull any more either, they're still the best team in my opinion, but their advantage is only slight now, they're not the dominant force they were. Leaving them wouldn't be a big step back.
Yep... very good article.
I'm not sure that Vettel should consider leaving Red Bull though... Just about any team on the grid would have him, but is there any team that could provide him with better or equivalent equipment?
If he does have an issue with the RBR management, then he might be better served addressing that rather than walking... but maybe this is the prelude to a move to Ferrari.
- even kinder coming from one such as yourself, whose own contributions to the forum I respect greatly.
