Vettel to Ferrari in 2014 apparently

Kimi to Red bull in 2014? Kimi has gone alot of his Career with Red Bull sponsership etc and there will probably be 2 open seats there........

Discuss, where the hell is everyone going :P

Kobi is great, He is a goo, aggressive overtaker. Generally a tough and generally fair racer with turns of speed. Perez is a great talent, but looking at Buttons years of being lost in cars and setup. His performance in the Brawn after the first 8 races and more recently in the McLaren it doesn't fill you with confidence that he can properly convey to engineers and designers what he wants the car to be doing. He knows all too well what he doesnt like about it when lapping...but I agree the two of them look to be compounding each others weaknesses and in a year where status quo is going to be simimilar and the bottom teams continue to find the fractiosn of time that the big teams found 12 months ago...its will be easy to see Macca no. 3-5 in the constructors.

I was shocked last night to see that Ferrari have overtaken them for 2nd in the WCC. Its a joke that with the car McLaren have had and Massa's absenteeism for most of the year that they are 3rd.

Of the driver movement left the only one that is of interest to me is Williams line up. I cant see them giving Bottas the leg up...they have too much pace at the moment not to have a more experienced punter in the seat. I think Jaimie or Hulk are a chance.

Yeah you are right Perez & Button look to be too similar or atleast share the same lack of pace in qualifying. Doesnt bode well.

Thought the Hulk was going to Sauber?

Williams will need coin irrespective of who drives for them. So Pasta & A N Other. Guessing it will be Botox if Senna doesnt find something magical in qualifying real soon. their share price went up off the back of their win, wonder where it is now?

Here you go:

vettel, i really don't think so...

kimi, maybe.

Felipe Massa will be granted a stay of execution at Ferrari as the Italian stable is set to retain him as they have to wait until 2014 for Sebastian Vettel.

It's been said before and no doubt it will be said again and again but this time it's coming from 'sources inside Ferrari' - and just hours after the German grabbed the lead in the Drivers' Championship.

According to a fresh report on the BBC on Monday morning, 'sources inside Ferrari say they have signed a contract with Vettel, 25, with an option to join in 2014 depending on their results.'

The report added that the 'contract is likely to define a position Ferrari must occupy in the title race at a point in 2013.'

However, it's not just Ferrari's position in the standings that counts for something as there is also Fernando Alonso's thoughts to consider.

That Spaniard, though, has 'sanctioned' Vettel's arrival having reportedly 'vetoed the idea of Lewis Hamilton joining the team earlier this year.'

And all this is great news for Massa as it means the Brazilian, who claimed his first podium of the season in Japan two weeks ago, will secure another season with Ferrari.

"If I want to anticipate the next question that I'm sure someone will ask, very soon you will know what will be our position in that respect," said team boss Stefano Domenicali in Korea on Sunday as he pre-empted questions about Massa's future.

"For sure he's understanding now better the car, he's understanding better the tyres.

"We believe that he's a very, very strong driver, there's no doubt, because otherwise we would already have taken a different decision."

The Vettel to Ferrari is BS. Vettel is all about the stats and come end of 2013 he isnt going to leave the team that has won 3, perhaps 4 out of 4 of the last WCCs and given him at least 2 WDCs, perhaps 3. His best bet to beat all the records he is so concerned about it to drive for the strongest team. Smart money is on RBR again next year....and sure engine is a change up but with new fresh rules RBR will be a good team as long as they have funding and Newey and others around him

The inside Ferrari F1 team contact is no different to the BMW mechanic i spoke with years ago after he first signed with RBR. The guy winked and said we have an option and when its right for us we will bring him back to partner Kubica. So much for that scoop.

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo has denied signing Sebastian Vettel, saying that would only create "instability" within the team.

Fresh reports emerged on Monday in which a 'source inside Ferrari' told the BBC that Vettel is expected to head to the Italian stable in 2014.

'Sources inside Ferrari say they have signed a contract with Vettel, 25, with an option to join in 2014 depending on their results,' reported the Beeb, who added that the German's arrival had been 'sanctioned' by Fernando Alonso.

However, di Montezemolo was quick to deny the claims, insisting that two very strong drivers at Ferrari would cause more harm than good.

"I've always said that I don't want two roosters in the hen-house," the Ferrari president told Italian radio station, RAI.

"I don't like that and it creates instability in the team."

But while Vettel is out, it appears as if Felipe Massa, whose form as improved of late resulting in a top-three finish in Japan, is in.

Asked about the Brazilian's future, di Montezemolo revealed that he would talk with Massa at length on Tuesday "and then we'll make a decision."

Seb would be insane to move to the red team

Redbull has it better in every way over ferrari, they haven't produced a decent car since the testing restrictions came in. Once forced to play fair, they clearly lack something within the team structure

The only way Vettel is going to be dislodged is when the new engines come in and somebody creates a monster. That will draw talent in the short term at least

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
