Who do we think it's likely to be when Webber goes off to drive Beetles?
I'd like it to be Kimi, I think him being in a better car would be amazing, the fact that he's 3rd in a car which isn't what most people would call one of the top teams shows how good he is.
What does everyone else think?

I'd love it to be Kimi just to give the whining German a challenge, but it won't happen as Vettel will throw a hissy fit. Will be one of the Toro rosso drivers for sure.

You reckon Ben? He's 14th in the standings, that's not very good

Interesting to know how will take marks place next year but the toro rosso drivers name is thown around a lot right now,It`s a great shame that it has lead to this at rb as mark is a very good driver and a general all round good bloke and ment a great deal to f1.
One of the best drivers at the moment in my opinion.

I don't think Seb has a say in this as people are making out. RBR exist in F1 to sell drinks and there are few better marketing drivers than Kimi...everyone seems to love him and he matches the Redbull lifestyle/image with his flatpeaked hat and snowmobiling hobby 
Ricciardo is their investment though and apparently Verne has been lined up for the Lotus seat (whether Grosjeans or Kimi who knows).

He's categorically being destroyed, he's past it and time to move on.

I really dont get why people love Kimi. When i ask they seem to say, "oh i like the way hes all moody and a cunt to the media"
Bizarrely, this is also the reason they give for why they hate Lewis
I agree that Vettel doesnt have a say in it, if you watch when hes questioned about it being Kimi, his face changes from the happy talkative Vettel, to the moody, not getting his way Vettel. I also noticed in a post race interview yesterday, he was asked if he'd like Kimi to be his team mate, and he kind of dodged the question a little (said the usual kimi's a nice guy etc) and gave seemed to give his "approval" to Daniel Ricciardo.
He doesnt want Kimi, but i think thats what hes going to get.

Said the same sort of thing for ages, but i dont think its to do with them being English. British people like nice losers. Its why people will always prefer "Tiger Tim" to Andy Murray and Jenson Button to Lewis Hamilton. People did it with Beckham too. Its a strange trait of British people.

What you probably did was lift it with your arm but balanced on one finger. You said you could lift it with a finger, as in having your arm flat and lifting 12kg by moving your finger up and down. I want to see this, because i just tried with a 10KG weight and my finger would've snapped

I like Kimi because he is a playboy, he's as close to a 70s driver as you'll get, back when it was all about the parties, smoking on the grid pre race and having sex just before the race. That's Kimi all over.
I dislike Lewis because he's SUCH a sore loser. Stamps his feet and hides in his trailer. He's also got stupid facial hair.

Yep, the classic English attitude towards sportsmen. Instead of embracing one of the most talented drivers of his generation dislike him because you dont like his facial hair
We must be the only nation to be like this, bet you didnt get Germans booing and hating Schumacher because he was a sore losing, cheating cunt

Yep, I should be patriotic over a guy who lives in a different country and drives cars which would convince you he was American.
Thanks but I'll keep my tongue in my mouth not his anus.

Do you hate England because of it? Would you hate him if he played for Crewe?
