I think McLaren would want another top-line driver and Ferrari would want another fast doormat… Here’s how things could look next year if this happened. I’ve used the current 2011 constructors championship standings (mostly) to determine the numbers etc.
Red Bull Racing-Renault
1. Sebastian Vettel
2. Mark Webber (really not sure Webber will hang around to get trounced again, but gave him the benefit of the doubt)
3. Sebastien Buemi
Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes
4. Lewis Hamilton
5. Jenson Button
6. Nico Rosberg
Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro
7. Fernando Alonso
8. Felipe Massa
9. Timo Glock
Lotus Renault GP
10. Robert Kubica (provided he’s fit again, here’s hoping)
11. Vitaly Petrov
12. Bruno Senna
Mercedes GP Petronas F1 Team
14. Nico Hülkenberg
15. Michael Schumacher (let’s see if his odd-number preference extends to numbers >13)
16. Nick Heidfeld
Sauber F1 Team-Ferrari
17. Kamui Kobayashi
18. Sergio Pérez
19. Sam Bird
Scuderia Toro Rosso-Ferrari
20. Jaime Alguersuari
