    I just don't see Raikkonen moving to Red Bull as a good idea. He's only #1 driver material, and Red Bull has made it very clear, even to the point of the detriment of their constructor's standings, that Vettel is and always will be their #1 driver. Helmut Marko has the true power on the team, and he cares only about his driver, Vettel. Why Kimi would want to be placed in a position where he'll never be allowed to win again I have no idea. Meanwhile Red Bull has a feeder team that's already coming under criticism for being a nearly guaranteed dead-end for a very short F1 career. Their two drivers would both make fine #2 drivers, and I feel like Ricciardo particularly has shown over the years that he is a dependable team player who will fit the role perfectly.
