Top people to replace Mark Webber

[steveaki13]

Didn't Vettel start at Rosso?

Yer but Vettel stood out to me straight away. Ricciardo and Vernge dont seem to give the impression they are likely to win championships to me.

Ricciardo can out race Vettel in the red bull race simulator (tom Clarkson)

I'm going to make a bold prediction and suggest that 2013 will prove that McLaren picked the wrong Sauber driver.

If you put Kamui Kobayashi head to head against Webber, I think that Kamui would kick Mark Webber's butt every which way to Thursday. Mark Webber is so dull that he's not even exciting enough to come from Canberra and that's saying something. Kamui would've given Vettel something to think about.

Can you pass in the simulator? or disobey team orders?

Them's fighting words. On the other hand, the only thing that comes out of Canberra is hot air.

Assuming Webber does leave (if he does I think it will be to retirement) Red Bull will probably look for a compliant number 2 who isn't going to threaten Vettel (or his ego). Red Bull don't need their second driver taking points off Vettel so one of the Torro Rosso drivers probably fits the bill quite nicely. I think they'll jump at the chance to race at the front and will accept a number two status if that's what it takes to get there.

IMO top people should not be considered for the job... for everyone's sake. average at best... maybe even bottom people..

That prospect has excited Switzerland's Blick newspaper, with veteran correspondent Roger Benoit pointing out that capable reserve driver Sebastien Buemi is waiting impatiently in the wings. Red Bull also has its Toro Rosso drivers Daniel Ricciardo andJean-Eric Vergne to choose between.
Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost told Blick: "There will certainly be no change of drivers between Red Bull and Toro Rosso."

Enrique Bernoldi. He's Helmut Marko's favourite driver.
