Vettel interested in WRC outing / F1 <-> WRC One-off

[Chilled Phill]

With Kimi recently partaking in the World Rally Championship and now Vettel expressing an interest (see here: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77533).

With the ever increasing number of F1 drivers, granted only two but still - it's increasing, and a certain WRC driver interested in a move to F1 - I was wondering how great it would be if we had a rally with F1 drivers only and a Grand Prix with WRC drivers only, basically a one off swap special every year.

Well...I think it would be a great idea, anyway.

He probabaly got envious of Kimi's success in WRC...

Latvala for F1 - please.

I think that Vettel was just being nice to the WRC interviewer. He could hardly say 'This is bollocks, I'm off back to the champagne tent.'

Maybe he is worried about Loeb taking his seat.

Latvala for F1 - please.

Oh yes, please. That guy'd find a way to drop the car from a hitherto-unseen cliff somewhere in Silverstone. And was bound to drop it in the sea at Monaco!

If a rally driver does try f1 where is the co driver gonna sit......

If a rally driver does try f1 where is the co driver gonna sit......

Senna: "I tell you, Nigel, this will be the way Formula 1 will be driven in 20 years, with a helpful copilot sitting safe on the chassis."
Mansell: "Where did you left your pills?"

I think it'd be a great idea if more F1 drivers did other disciplines, not just WRC. Brazilian stock cars, DTM, BTCC, WTCC, STCC, Le Mans... all of these would be great for keeping a driver focussed and entertained.

Interviews like this have happened before with no driver actually making the crossover -- after Juan Pablo Montoya won his first (and to date, only) NASCAR Busch Series (now Nationwide Series *barfs into bucket*) race, David Coulthard expressed interest in NASCAR.

Where's Coulthard now? Certainly not in NASCAR!
