Yes, I heard that about Mark Webber! Rumors were that Kimi would take over the #2 seat at Red Bull, which is something the other teams do NOT want to see, a Vettel/Raikkonen combo.
Mark Webber is actually pretty old in F1 terms (he's 36). If he retires, he could do many things, from racing in Aussie V8's (which I know he'd like to do) to running IndyCar (which is what I'd like to see him do). He has a lot of talent, except for his trademark "I think I stared in the wrong gear" starts, he drives very well and very consistent.
One of the funniest radio comments of the race, equal to Kimi's "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing" classic remark from last year, was when Mercedes was telling their drivers Rosberg and Hamilton to go easy on their tires....REAL easy....because their strategy was to stay out when other teams came in for tires.
Lewis Hamilton radioed, "I can't drive any slower."
That would make a great bumper sticker!
