So, there's heavy speculation that Alonso might be at Red Bull next year, but in the BBC after-race interview, Vettel actually says that he would prefer Kimi. Interesting. I think Alonso is the best racer in Formula 1 right now, and maybe Vettel has concerns. Also, maybe Vettel thinks that he would be faster than Kimi and so doesn't feel threatened......and I agree this might be true. But Alonso also wishes teams to make him their number one driver, so again, this would be a huge tension if Vettel isn't scoring as many points as Alonso.
Success may come down to the engines. McLaren are getting Honda in 2015 but will still be with Mercedes for 2014, Mercedes will have their own, Ferrari will be one to watch, as I predict massive disappointment for them. Red Bull will have Renault engines, so if Alonso or Kimi go there, I'll bet the power figures are looking good.
My prediction is - if Kimi goes to Red Bull, he won't be as fast as Vettel, but he may score more points. It would be close. If Alonso goes to Red Bull, I think he would definitely outscore Vettel. Over one lap, Vettel would be faster, but over a whole season, I think Alonso would beat him.
