Formula One ( F1 )

So being a two time world champion is not a legacy? Beating the most successful driver in the history of the sport two seasons running, that is not a legacy? How about inspiring an entire country to start watching and enjoying (albeit in a mildly racist manner) F1?

While he is not yet ready to retire the number of seasons he has left in the sport (at the top flight at least) are limited.

If he went to Red Bull the development of next years car would be advanced enough by the time he arrived that it would favour Vettel due to the amount of input he would have. Why would he waste a season when Ferrari will by all accounts have a much better dev team in place than they have had for some time and he would be racing a car that will suit him as he would have had input from conception.

All very easy to answer. He would not consider being twice world champion to be legacy enough. He had the talent for 5 world championships, much less two. He would rightfully be feeling quite shortchanged by now.

He would certainly leave Ferrari if he felt another team brought him much closer to a world championship.....and had the chance of having a much faster car.

The comment about development time suiting a driver made me smile, because quite a few people couldn't see that Nico had a huge advantage over Lewis for this very reason. I'm glad you pointed it out.
