Following the controversial team orders and Webber's misfortune at the last race meeting in Sepang, there have been a lot of rumours about his future at Red Bull, or even in F1 at all. Ecclestone has suggested that Hamilton's first choice was to move to Red Bull having decided to leave McLaren at the end of last season, but Dietrich Mateschitz, the owner of the Red Bull racing team was loyal to his long-term racing driver, Mark Webber. Hamilton has denied this hierarchy, saying that he asked his management to look into all the options and that he's very happy at Mercedes: "It's the best decision I've ever made."
However, if Webber decides to leave Red Bull when his contract expires at the end of this season, there will be no shortage of hopefuls to joining the elite team. Mateschitz has expressed an admiration of Kimi Raikkonen but also said that either of the Torro Rosso drivers would have a shot at the seat. 2014 will be an interesting year for F1 with many changes to the regulations and doubtless some exciting team drama too, but let's not forget how brilliant 2913 has been so far, and how much more is to come!
