Kubica

Nope not Kubica, he won’t be the driver he used to be after he returns.

I would say Perez, perfect partner for Alonso and will probably challenge him on a few occasions.

Perez is too much of a rookie. He could get the seat but rookies these days need a while until they can really be consistent as they get so few mileage.

If Kubica returns back to form it could be a while for him because of the testing ban. He’s going to need time to get up to speed and Ferrari might not want to gamble on him.

Webber’s a possibility but given his criticism of RBR last year he may not like the idea of Ferrari but then again he also likes it when he’s the underdog and there seems to be a fair amount of respect between Webber and Alonso.

Button would be good, slower than Alonso but fast enough to help win the coostructor’s but he is settled and already playing that rule at Mclaren. And also hates team orders… though he didn’t complain in Spain 2009. ;)

Keep Massa til the end of the year, and if he still isn’t performing swap him for a Force India driver – whichever has done better by the end of the year, and it’s at this point I realise that with Mclaren providing FI with tech support – that Di Resta’s path to Mclaren has been paved – Di Resta to replace Button more likely than him to replace Massa.

This is complicated. :S
Just go with Luizi…

Kubica would be a good replacement but realistically I’d say that Sutil would be a suitable replacement. He’s shown some good speed and with a quick car underneath him he could cause Nando a few more problems than what Massa is doing at the moment.

I would say Kubica is the most obvious contender, at the moment. Depends how he gets on with this hand however.

I think Massa will step it up though.

The most important thing to consider is Alonso, he’s undisputed no.1 at the mo. Although Ferrari have shown they’ll back whoever looks like winning the championship, the driver in question has to be on Ferrari’s side a known quantity in the Barrichello mould, and on the drivers side either desperate or obnoxiously self confident/mega gifted.

Kubica, weal he’s better than Massa, an I don’t know that he’ll suffer like Massa who always was a confidence driver, but he may well not be the same when he returns. But Ferrari can’t take two top dogs, the modern incarnation just isn’t set up to take it.

Webber, old, grouchy, rebellious, possibly lost it.

Sutil. I can’t help but feel that the moment has passed, he should of mooved up last year, his career has stalled somewhat.

Di Resta. Probably too young, we’ll have to see how he does, Brits don’t tend to be in the thrall of Ferrari like the others, you get the feeling he wants to be no 1.

Rosberg, wants to be top dog, probably doesn’t back himself to take Alonso.

Personally, I think all paths lead to Timo Glock, he must be miserable at Virgin, he’s completely wasted at Virgin, he could well be better than Massa, he’s young and experianced.

Don’t think anyone else is available or has the class.
