Vettel to Ferrari in 2015 a done deal?

Apparently.
Plus Alonso to Red Bull or McLaren.

Given how Vettel isn't able to drive the new cars well, I'm surprised anyone will pay him huge money to come to their team until he proves he is up there with Alonso; Hamilton; Ricciardo, etc.

hmmm I thought Alonso said he's not leaving Ferrari and when he does it'll be to retire.
Now I'm going to have to search for that quote

Before the long-haul flight to Singapore, world champion Sebastian Vettel and his team have denied the latest sensational 'silly season' rumour.

Germany's Sport Bild reports on Tuesday that dissatisfied Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso could take Vettel's place at Red Bull for 2015, in a straight 'swap' deal with the fabled Maranello team.


Vettel immediately denied it.

"There is nothing new," he said. "I have a contract with Red Bull and I'm happy where I am."

Earlier reports, however, had suggested the deal was done, and would be announced on Tuesday.

Dr Helmut Marko said on Tuesday: "Alonso will definitely not be at Red Bull."

And in another sure sign that Red Bull's commitment to Vettel is far from wavering, even despite his disappointing 2014 campaign, Marko insisted the team will not be bowing to Daniel Ricciardo's request for team orders.

"We have no team orders and there will be none," he said clearly.

Vettel will have yet another new chassis at his disposal this weekend in Singapore, and Marko added: "If Sebastian can win, then he is allowed to -- whether Daniel is behind him or not.

"That is our philosophy."

Justifying the fourth new chassis of the season for Vettel amid the quadruple world champion's mysterious handling problems, Marko explained: "Sebastian is too important to the team for him to not be reaching his full potential."

And team boss Christian Horner added: "I will not say it too loudly, but I have a feeling Sebastian will win in Singapore."

I don't like either driver... but I do like Ferrari... I wish Kimi would do better or Ferrari would make a more competitive car for 2015.

Does it even seem possible that he could win one WC the way he can't come to terms with the torque and lack of rear downforce on the new cars?
