Top people to replace Mark Webber

[christophulus]

I cant imagine them promoting a Toro Rosso driver really. Neither seem stunning.

If they don't promote a Toro Rosso driver, you'd have to question what the point of them having the STR team is in the first place? I agree though, I don't rate either as a future world champion - but then if Vettel's in the car they probably aren't looking for one.

On the back of latest rumours that Porsche is very interested in having Webber for their LeMans program, I think the idea of Mark leaving isn't that far fetched. In fact if I was Horner, I'd pay Porsche a wad of cash to take him now, because Vettel and Webber are on the war path and that's going to end in a shunt at some point.
People will cry foul that they sack Webber instead of 'the offender', but then it doesn't matter. RB pretty much wrecked their own authority by not doing anything when Mark ignored the team's wishes in Silverstone 2011 and Brazil 2012 and not doing anything again when Vettel humiliated tem in Malaysia. So what do they have to lose? Keep the guy, who delivered 3 WDC and get rid of the loudmouth, who's words have been bolder than his results.

I'd like to see either Ricciardo or Vergne come up from Toro Rosso. Both are really talented drivers making the most of a poor car.

Thats a difficult statement to prove, you could equally say they are both below average drivers not making the best of a competitive car - that is the problem with having 2 guys with no comparison with anything insode F1 competing against each other. They are both performing ok, but to me at the same sort of level as Buemi and Alguesari were. I thought they were both decent drivers and look what happened to them. If they are going to use Torro Roos as an evaluation tool for newe drivers they really need to at least stagger them so they aren't both new at the same time, or have an known quantity to measure them against.

Is it time for the next race, yet? Two weeks of minutiae and speculation of how or who or when a certain GP winning, well credentialed race driver might be replaced (but don't argue with the cognoscenti if you are of the same nationality) is getting boring.

At least the previous race did leave us enough ammunition to argue for almost two weeks.
