So Ross Brawn has a chance to get (not only a team but even a driver who can win the title in a "right" car) almost for free ..
The other thing which is coming in my mind is that: Alonso usually has a first driver position in the team he is driving for and will however never accept a second driver position and I don’t think Felipe do it either – so there is a risk for the same type of conflict Alonso and Lewis had at McLaren if the car will suit better to Felipe than him..

So why not sign Vettel to Ferrari to 2011 season. He is a driver for the future.. and hungry to be world driver champion .. and especially in a Ferrari (I think).. and money is not everything … or is it? :)
I think will have to wait and see how this whole story folds, as everything is possible and nothing is sure.
Now that Ferrari has decided to give up on developing the F60 and focus on 2010, I can only hope that for some of the ideas and solutions for next year they will find a way to implement them on the F60 in order to keep the drivers motivated and maybe get a win in the right circumstances.
If not this will be the first season after 16 years that they do not score a win.
Yes, Alesis 2nd place at Monza was Ferrari's best result 1993 but after that has Ferrari at least one win every season.

Well, I hope they get a victory, but when they say they will concentrate on the 2010 car from now on, IMO it means that they will use ideas from the 2010 project on the F60 but will not lose time searching for developments only meant for the F60.
how can anyone be seriously developing a 2010 car for rules that i am uncertain as to whether they are actually officially and permanently in place?Quote:
