but I guess he won't have to deal with Vettle anymore.

EDIT: He was so consistant last year till mid of the season then all the crap started to happen to his car.

Big question now is...who takes his seat ^_^

Alonso? surely not.
Hamilton? Nope
Button? Possibility
Raikonen? Can't see him getting on with Vettel

Who else?

Replace an Aussie with another Aussie with Daniel Ricciardo.
Not to mention the transition will be super easy with STR being the sister team to RBR.

True not like they need a top driver, they give all the power to Vettel anyway. Might struggle to win constructor championships with only one driving finishing top 3 every week though xD

But out of the top 4 drivers out there i only see Button being tempted in to Red Bull

Oh yeh good point, i forgot about Money and Button is king pin at Mclaren now so yeah i doubt he will leave either xD

I didn't think Kimi would of been the sort of guy to go to Red Bull, would love to see him there though of course. Nice strong car and background should make him top 3 driver and such.

Would hope if it was Kimi that Di Resta gets that seat at Lotus

It is who Red Bull want to be honest, everyone wants to drive that car. I would pick Hulkenberg but rumour is that Kimi will take it. Button earns £10m+ and Vettel is only on £6m-ish so I can't see him going. As for the two Torro Rosso guys, I think you have to say that Jev has been the most impressive and he does have potential. He seems to do things at times that make you go "wow".

Torro Rosso driver will probably get the seat. Vettel is there #1 and while he is signed they wont want to rock the boat, while at the same time prepping a replacement for him when he inevitably moves teams, either to Ferrari after Alonso has gone or to McLaren (or another big team).
Alot of people have suggested Kimi as the two drivers seem to get on pretty well but I'm not sure how Vettel would cope with the pressure of such a strong driver in the same team.

Ricciardo has to be the favorite, though there are some really promising GP2 drivers like Felipe Nasr and Stefano Coletti they could pick up, or ofc replace Ricciardo with when he gets a bump up to the main team.

It was bad enough having Webber, in a somewhat-passive-aggressive conflict with Vettel. Throwing Kimi into the same pits as Vettel is a recipe for disaster.

Great pole lap from Lewis, the last two qualifying performances from him have been brilliant. I've been critical of Di Resta but I have to say he has really stepped it up with this years FI, it's a shame Horner ruled him out of the RB drive because I am sure he would fancy his chances against Vettel again. Him or Hulkenberg are the stand out guys from the pack. Kimi and Alonso must both be hugely disappointed with that today, the only saving grace is that it will be hotter tomorrow and Silverstone is one of the easiest tracks to pass. Think Vettel has it in the bag myself, I was gutted Webber lost out in the last sector of the last lap because those two could have a few battles before the season is out. I think he will clear both Merc's by lap 5.

"Paul di Resta said he was shocked to find himself fifth on the grid at the British Grand Prix"

In unrelated news, TeamLiquid is funding a £5m statue in Scotland.

Also, Paul di Resta's car has been found underweight after Qualifying.

If he gets sent to the back, that is a cruel letdown for Paul. I can't see anything else though.

what do pirelli have to do with this.
They wanted to put different tyres in but certain teams thought this was their chance to beat redbull.

They're following FIA specifications. They could make tires that last an entire grand prix if they wanted too. They proposed modifications but they've been rejected.
