Sources inside Ferrari say they have signed a contract with Vettel, 25, with an option to join in 2014 depending on their results.
That sounds like he's guaranteed a seat, if he wants it, and if Ferrari perform well enough in 2013. So basically he has a choice between Red Bull and Ferrari depending on who's likely to perform the best.

Which can't be bad.

Big rule change for 2014 so it could be a lottery on who is out on top.

I suspect he's hedging his bets for when the new engines have been introduced. Who knows who's going to have the best car/engine combo at that time.

Ferrari reject the claims already:

DiMontezemelo says 'I don't want two Roosters in the hen house' and is happy to have Alonso feucking Massa obviously.

Hamilton was involved in the best action of the race, some really good driving from a variety of drivers, especially Kimi.
