Re: vettel to Ferrari 2014
Yeah I got a feeling Vettel will go Ferrari in 2014 with the new engine regs in mind, and will possibly take some engineers with him or at least a tonne of Red Bull secrets on the aero side. The one weakness that the Red Bull team seemed to suffer with the most has always been the engine.

Re: Grosjean staying at Lotus in 2013 - Boullier
I like the last part saying that he can no commit today.
was it commit or comment?
I have a feeling the entire Lotus boards is watching the last 4 races to see if he wipes out em in and then they'll make their descision and Bouiller will be told what to do.

Re: Are Parc fermé set up rules necessary?
It would be really interesting to remove practice and qualifying, let the teams give it their best shot with no additional data other than track specs and then grid positions are decided from were you finish.
if you crash out/dnf you start from the back even if it is the cause of another driver.

Hamilton, Alonso, Raikonnen, Vettel, Button will be in the top 5
DRS zone has been reduced so i see the final result as
Qualifying - Hamilton, Vettel, Button, Alonso, Raikonnen, - Button then gets his 5 place grid penalty and starts 8th
Race Finish - Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Raikonnen, Button
