"Hamilton's team is believed to have been told that although
Ferrari would love to have him, there is potentially only a single
year deal available should the team decide to replace Felipe
Massa for next season and the Vettel option becomes active in
2014."

Makes no sense to any of the parties involved. Why should Mac or RBR
drivers switch to both a lesser car and lesser position in the team?
Ever Webber has a better position in RBR than he would in Ferrari.

And why should Ferrari mix their perfect winning ticket? If they want
both championships, they need a strong supporting driver, not someone
who would challenge Fernando or would be unmotivated to play the
second fiddle. Ferrari culture clearly works better if they have a
clear number one.
