Bit of a curveball, but i think Ferrari would be smart to get hold of Nick Heidfeld...

[What's Burning?]

Don't know about that, I think Ferrari's would "see" their ideal number 2 driver as someone like Button.

I think Massa has contracted the same case of Kimi-itis.

[texasmr2]

I think technically every drivers seat is in danger if they dont perform. But I think is Massa's confidence in danger and will he be able or allowed to regain it at this team is the biggest question so I think he would prefer to race at another team.

I can see him wanting to go to Renault, and I can see Robert wanting to go to Ferrari, I can see Ferrari wanting Robert to come to them, But i cannot see Alonso being so welcoming. He would prefer Badoer!

Would Ferrari be stupid enough to take in Kubica? When the whining prat is there and he's going to stir up another storm during the season, unless Ferrari put a leash on Robert. And I don't think Robert is the type to yield one bit.

Kinda why id find it interesting, to see how Alonso will handle himself and if he can take getting beaten by a team mate again. But Ferrari would be stupid to not get Kubica, If they dont want him McLaren will have him

Heidfeld is an interesting one, one of the last Sauber proteges not to be picked up by Ferrari.

There's no guarantee Kubica would beat Fernando. And there's also no way of knowing what sort of arrangements or deals they are able to work out for the benefit of the team and both drivers.

I dont think Kubica would be as far behind Alonso as Massa is... So perhaps instead of having to deal with team orders theyd rather be dealing with getting both drivers to score a lot.

Oh Alonso would love that

I don't think Kubica would be behind Alonso. Probably evenly matched, more like. It's difficult to judge when they're in completely different cars and when Kubica's wheels fall off. Kubica's been consistently in the top ten in both qualifying and in the races (when he finishes) in a car acknowledged to be not up with the best. I'd like to see him in a car with more potential before his best years have gone. If that means taking Massa's seat then so be it, sentiment for Massa's injury notwithstanding.

Not to take this thread anymore OT than it has gotten I think Kubica can match Alonso.

Exactly. Kubica wouldnt be behind Alonso for Ferrari to need team orders. I f they were able to manage them accordingly, to the benefit of the team, then it should be no problem. Massa's seat is "apparently" in danger because he is not matching Alonso.

I dont think Alonso can accept no team orders. He has to be number 1.

[texasmr2]

Same could be said for others.

[racechick]

Only schumacher in his heyday had the blatant team orders to favour him that Alonso expects.

[texasmr2]

50/50 on that one.

Easy... don't hire him then. But how come he gets hired?
Must be something we dont know...

He gets sacked too.
