Does Domenicali dream of a Vettel-Alonso duo?

The binding contract Sebastian Vettel à Red Bull expires at the end of 2014. So what will the German choose to do? The Austrian firm will certainly do everything in its power to maintain its prodigy. But even though he said he would stay at Red Bull as long as the team provided him with the best car, Vettel has never hidden his attraction to Mercedes, and especially Ferrari. It remains that an arrival at the Team would see him share the stand with a certain Fernando Alonso, under contract until 2016. Not a problem according to Stefano Deomenicali.

" I think so, replied the Team Principal of the trans teamalpine to one of our colleagues from the Gazette dello Sport asked him if Alonso would agree to have Vettel as a teammate in 2014. I think they could live together. Fernando?s strength is that he is not afraid of anyone. »

Would Felipe Massa, whose contract ends next year, be leaving? “Massa will do everything to show that he is worthy of wearing the colors of Ferrari, and the other drivers whose contracts are expiring will all be keen to show that they are ready to join the Scuderia, continues Domenicali. Hamilton is also certainly part of it, but it is still too early. »

It is obviously far too early to already discuss possible transactions for 2013 and beyond. One thing is certain, the three top teams that are Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari will not change their duo in 2012.
