I agree that he's made the right choice here. While things are harmonious at Red Bull why move?

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. As in.... he knows where he is and what he has with RBR so why go running off hoping for a better seat in another team. Last I checked there's no Ferrari drive at the moment so no good dreaming of one.

As for Macca they are still nowhere near proven. Yes it looks good at the moment but for now they have one race this year, which was a tight track, where they had pace and showed form. No gurantees for the next 5 or however many races.

I also agree that F1 cannot work with one man teams in todays modern age. Vettel and Webber bring a healthy rivalry which pushes one another. True that as a one-man-team Jenson is effectively able to acquire more points as Boobs is effectively #2 but I'm not convinced that's healthy for building performance.

It's one thing to talk about Ferrari and Macca and that theyre coming back to the top but how long will it take? F1 just went through a technical revolution.... not evolution. In this instance it's the brains in the paddock that make it happen not cheque books.

Remember, last year Newey was told he was not allowed to develop the double diffuser so this year RBR bolted one on. With a full redevelopment perhaps they can do even more next year.

I think RBR is the right place for now. They should be up there for at least another couple years. Ultimately we might see Kimi move aside for Vettel in a couple years..... but that's a couple years away!
