The worst kept secret in F1 finally confirmed, Webber leaving F1 at the end of the 2013 season and heading to Porsche.

So who's going to take the seat. Kimi? JEV? Smiler? Or maybe even Di Resta!

Button? Kimi wouldn't play second fiddle to water boy.

I can't see the seat going to Button, or any other number 1 driver except the long-standing rumour of Kimi, which would be a massive kick in the teeth to JEV and Ricciardo.

Vergne would be my tip.

Don't know - Riccardo and Vergne would also both love a seat at McL, and Button isn't happy with his new wing boy.

I'd also like to see Button in a RB as I think he'd give the car a different edge to water boy, he has a very smooth refined way of driving.

I'm not denying JB would be able to make the Red Bull go well, but I don't think he'd want to leave McLaren and become an understudy to Vettel after being team leader, even if Perez is making his life difficult.

To be fair what is making JBs like difficult is a crap car and bad advice regarding tyre wear. Jensen spent most of the Montreal race looking after his tyres only to be told later that he could have ragged the arse off the car.

I do worry for McLaren at the moment.

The same things making his life difficult are the sorts of things that would make you want to leave, plus seeing Hamilton doing much better than he is. I'd see Di-resta as more of a Button replacement than one for webber.

I worry for McL, hopefully a s-4 turbo will turn their fortunes.

Sorry to see Webber go.... Yes there are faster drivers and when push came to shove he mostly lost out but he appears to have been one of the most approachable and down to earth drivers of recent years which is something of value. I met the guy during his Super Nova F3000 days back in 2001...

I met him when i was out cycling in the Chilterns last year, well i say met, it was more like he passed me at a junction and said "all right fella" as if he was on a shopping trip. I was way breathless to respond.

Here's a left field suggestion....

Sutil

Because..

1. He's German
2. Fast, but not too fast (will score high value points without winning)
3. He's just grateful to be back in F1 (he'll do as he's told)

I can't see Kimi going there to sit alongside Vettel.
It would dilute Red Bull's focus to have 2 proper championship contenders together which may not be what they want.

I was already planning a trip to Le Mans 2014 to see Porsche return and show Audi how endurance racing is really done. The fact they've got a great "name" driver for the team is a Billy-bonus. Let's hope he doesn't repeat his Mercedes stunt from his last outing.
