    As far as contention goes, a move to RBR is what Alonso would do, but I don't see that happening. Which means it's to McLaren (a downgrade at this time), meaning it is all about the money.

    Bye bye Fernando!... :-h I never really liked him, especially as a person. And please don't let Vettel wear that red uniform! [-X Bring back Massa if you want experience, otherwise sign up a really talented and aggressive driver such as Perez, Maldonado, Gutierrez or Kobayashi (he's only 27-28 and has already participated in 73 races). We can always become a Finnish team bringing in some more "cold blood" (i.e., Bottas).

    I wouldn't want any of them (except Bottas) in the Red!
    I am kind of hoping they take Hulkenburg or Bianchi. If Alonso goes to RBR you can bet Vettel is going to Ferrari (which I also don't like).
    Like him or hate him, Alonso is arguably the best on the grid and Ferrari will be notably worse off without him.

    Alonso is a good driver, but never underestimate Kimi.

    I'm not underestimating Kimi - I'm not even talking about him ;)

    Seb must be going to Ferrari. I don't see any other teams where he can be outright number 1 driver.

    He can't be outright number one there either with kimi signed. I came to post the Vettel news too. I think it is likely he goes to Ferrari while Alonso goes to mclaren. But I am real lolly hoping Vettel goes to mclaren instead of Alonso (however unlikely that seems). Damn damn damn this sucks :P

    I have to download qualifying which sucks, but at least I'll get to watch it in glorious HD.
    Still shocked about these driver changes! Still holding out hope that Vettel goes to McLaren! haha

    Deep down, we all knew it!

    I still rather see Alonso at RedBull, oh well.

    If he wants to win, surely RBR would have been his first choice (assuming RBR and McL were the two in question).
    Other than Vettel leaving RBR, nothing else has been officially confirmed even though we know what is going to happen...

    Honda power to Mclaren next year.

    So so race. Dan's overtake on Button was superb. He's a racer. I'm not a one eyed Australian at all :ar! He would have to be the happiest after this weekends musical chairs.

    I hope Bianchi is ok.

    Some good action in the race, rain made it interesting.
    With you on Bianchi, Austicman.

    Also, photo post-accident of the Marussia (Bianchi is still in the car, helmet on).
    Warning - there is no obvious evidence of injury to him in the photo, but the condition of the car speaks for itself:

    Fark! Nasty! Looks like he went under the tractor. I'm not usually one to point fingers this early on but that was piss poor marshalling/ Race Control to bring the tractor out before the corner or even the track was isolated properly in such treacherous conditions.

    I saw the video as well. He does go under the tractor (which is lifted right off the ground). It is not good, but it's hard to tell how much of his head takes the impact vs the engine cover/intake structure (which right now for me is a good thing, that you can't tell).
    Watching the race I didn't realize how bad the water was on the track at the time until after the fact. Gotta feel for JB and hope this is a Massa-spring type incident and he makes a full recovery!

    Just saw the footage too. I have everything crossed for him because that was as nasty as an accident can get in this day and age. Schumy's Dr is flying to him as we speak.

    That track worker has to be counting his lucky stars after coming within a few feet of getting vaporized.
