As I said, I think you'd very
very good odds on that happening.
Vettel hasn't done himself any favours this year.
We all know that when he's got an outstanding car that suits his driving style he can use it to bring home the big prizes but, given the way things have been going this year, any team who
might have been thinking of getting Vettel into one of their cars would surely now be thinking they might do just as well (or better) with Daniel Ricciardo or, by extension, some other supposedly "2nd tier" driver who's thus far lacked the machinery to show what they're capable of.
Right now, if you asked every team boss in the paddock which of the RBR drivers they'd choose to have in their car if they could, most of them would probably pick DR over Vettel so the chances of Hamilton being booted out of Merc' in favour of Vettel are pretty slim IMO.
About the only way this
might end up happening, IMO, would be if Rosberg continues to "get all the luck" at Merc' and Hamilton loses his shit and quits.
Even there, that's the sort of thing that Hamilton
might sometimes consider on a bad Sunday afternoon but he'll probably have forgotten about it again by Monday morning.
