Massa is expected to be confirmed soon. Vettel not just yet.

I don't see the point of Vettel at Ferrari.
Alonso IMO is better than him anyway, we just need someone who can keep up with him to secure the WCC points.
I imagine if its true though and Alonso wants Vettel there, its to show him who is better. Alonso must have very BIG Stallion sized cojones if that is true! and it would take the shine off Vettels WDC, but suit Ferrari fine that they have a number two driver capable of picking up points. WIN WIN apart from Vettels reputation!

LOL on the one hand you say Vettel is average and overated yet want him at Ferrari so Alonso can beat him, that says more about Alonso beating an average driver than it does about Vettel been beat by a superior driver... that seems to be a win win for no one.

If, and it is still an if, Vettel does go to Ferrari it will be for a big paycheck so Ferrari would be stupid to pay all that money just for a decent no.2... I suspet they want Alonso to win a WDC or two for them but so far that is proving elusive so with Vettel still on his upward curve they would expect Vettel to bring them some WDC as well.

“I do not want two roosters in the hen house,” Montezemolo tells the Italian media. “I want two drivers who race for Ferrari and not for themselves. I want a friendly rivalry like we have had with Schumacher and Irvine, Schumacher and Barrichello, Alonso and Massa or Massa and Schumacher."




In other words we won't even pretend to have equal drivers. And I'm completely ok with that.

So what is the point of Vettel at Ferrari then? Would be worse than Hamilton and Alonso at Mclaren IMO.

Where have i said Vettel is "average and overated? "Well where have i wrote that John?

IMO he is not as good as Alonso so would make a good number two, but considering how much he would cost to have at Ferrari, it would be a waste of money having him there.

Apparently Vettel is average height and over rated at kung Fu
