Red Bull & Mercedes won't change next year.

How do you know ?

we could see maybe Rosberg taking webbers spot in 2012. Vettel is mighty fast but doesn't think and is inconsistant he needs to calm down & I think he might next year... Put Rosberg in the team & he definatly would calm down.

Honestly I do not see Rosberg 'jumping ship' anytime soon, why leave a WDC/WCC team with a proven genius 'steering the ship' just because the rule changes for '10 did not produce another 1-2 car?

A fickle argument and I could be wrong but I would like to atleast see Rosberg pull a 'Button' and show some loyalty which is one thing that sems to have been lost in F1.

Sorry Hyflex, but Rosberg to Red Bull is just never going to happen. He has never been in the Red Bull development program, and since he's one of the new german "pin-up" boys, Mercedes definitely see him as long term for them.

The only reasons why I think that Mercedes will lure Vettel away from Red Bull is that:
1) he's the new German "wunderkind",
2) they will need a fast driver to replace Schumacher (in other words they are not going to blood a rookie in their team),
3) Red Bull have such a talent pool to draw from that they don't need to overpay drivers,
4) Vettel's market value will rise substantially that Red Bull won't see the value in overpaying for a driver.

That said, there is only one other alternative to eventually replace Schumi... and that's Sutil (also German), but he's just not that proven is he.

Vettel and Rosberg together make a formidable marketing asset for Mercedes to promote their brand to a younger buying audience....oh....and they're both VERY fast!

I think Vettel will stay at RBR for at least one more year, cause, even if Mark wins this year, he knows, he will definitely be in line next year and they will still be very competitive.
I also think Vettel is another driver who's on record as wanting to drive for Ferrari.

Meh, loads of drivers get linked with Ferrari, or said as "a future Ferrari driver in waiting", I think Ferrari would go for (and get) other drivers instead of Vettel if it came up.

I'd love to see Daniel Ricciardo get an F1 drive next year, but I haven't seen his name mentioned yet with either Red Bull or Torro Rosso. He must be pretty highly rate thought as he's sharing the backup driver role for RB. He finished another year really well, runner up in the Formula Renault 3.5, just 2 points behind. I think this guy is a great talent, and would love to see him get a years experience somewhere. If he ends out anywhere near as good as I hope he will be, then I'd love to see Ferrari target him early. An Aussie/Italian driving for Ferrari - that would just be great as far as I'm concerned
