F1 Fanatic

Personally, I think all paths lead to Timo Glock, he’s young and experianced.

He’s 29, not really that young. In F1 terms anyway.

I guess Kubica would have been lined up but now it’s an unknown situation with himm at the moment he’s out of the picture for now.
I would love to see Kobayashi or Alguesuari in a Ferrari but i can’t see it happening realistically.
If Massa got the boot at the end of this year and Perez turns out to be massively impressive, i wouldn’t bet against that kind of move.
Personally though i think they’ll just stick with Massa.

I reckon Webber could be a possibility, even if just as a 1 year stopgap to allow time for other drivers to come off contract with other teams.

I’d like to say Fisi but someone who Ferrari want instead of Massa should not be reserve driver. They want top class driver who give them huge amount of point if not win. even though Massa is struggling, there’s few drivers better than him and most of them are in Ferrari’s rival.(Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Button, Kubica) Well, last year’s contract extension of Massa was not ideal but they had no other choice.

Perez? too young. Bianci? same. Fisi? not better than Massa. Kubica? possibly. but Renault has priority and Ferrari would not want him to rally again…and I have doubt that he’s the same one as he was. Remember Massa’s off-the-pace could be due to the accident in 2009.

the problem is Ferrari don’t like risk. They don’t like rookie. If they are willing to take risk, options would be much widen. If Webber opens option, Webber should be the best choice. but it looks like unlikely.

@GQsm I think The Hulk is a very good option, but he’s not typical Ferrari-favorite. well, if Massa struggle too much this year, The Hulk could snatch his seat. I agree with you that Ferrari would prefer The Hulk than Kobayashi.

If Sutil hasn’t shown anything to get him out of a FI drive so far then I don’t see why he’s shown enough to land a Ferrari drive same with Heidfeld.

Glockis an idea Erggy. Unfortunately, I keep forgetting he ios on the grid but that’s because of the car not for lack of talent.

Kobayash- personally as much as I love watching his overtakes I don’t rate him as much as many seem to and his qualifying was dreadful at times last year.

Bianci in a few years.

Ferrari would probably want Kubica (or even Vettel), but I don’t see either of them going there while Alonso is still around. I also don’t see Bianchi getting the drive, its not Ferrari’s style to go with a rookie, but you never know. Of the current crop I don’t see who else (a) could do a better job than Massa to be honest (Why am I defeding him?!?) and (b) who would be happy being a number 2 to Alonso.

massa aint going anywhere, so can we please end this pie in the sky discussion!
