McLaren interested in Vettel for 2013.

But if you know anything about McLaren you would not be sceptical. Unless of course think that people such as Mika, Ron Dennis and Jo Ramirez are liars.

Really? You don't think that they might just ask JB or LH about MW's comments? Something like "Lewis, how would you like to have Seb as a team-mate?" or "Jenson, Martin has suggested he's interested in signing Seb. What does that mean for your future at McLaren?"

Given that the current McLaren line up are both champions I doubt they'll lose sleep over it.

All part of the game.

Having to participate in all the Pr activities of their jobs I really don't think a comment in regard to an event 3 years away will have any meaningful affect on Kettle.
But there may have been a little gamesmanship in Whitmarsh's comment FWIW ;)

The sort of question it is, would usually be asked by someone from a daily paper general news rag - usually rubbish.

People such as Roebuck and Co put pertinent questions to people in f1 - and any machinations behind the scenes will be a kept confidence. It is essential that the real journalists build and maintain cedibility.

The drivers have limited time to speak to anyone and I guarantee you that anyone publicly asking that question would in future find further access incredibly difficult.

Problem is that reporters have to cater to their audience and have instructions from their editors - tough job being an f1 reporter.
