It's hard to see why Merc would want to get rid of Ros/Ham for now. Ros is still leading the championship! I understand why Fernando wants to go there.. But I can't see why Merc would want Fernando.
Adrian Newey to Ferrari? Check. Fernando Alonso to Mercedes? Check. Ron Dennis courting Sebastian Vettel? Check. At the risk of sounding cynical it seems a slow news weekend triggered the start of F1's annual silly season slightly earlier than usual. The rumour-mill was on overdrive in Spain but it seemed there was no shred of real proof to anything, other than pundits saying any of the above could, at some point, maybe, happen. Viewers should watch future races with a generous pinch of salt within arm's reach if Spain is anything to go by.
Luca di Montezemolo probably knows he needs a big signing to keep Fernando Alonso at Ferrari and, behind Ross Brawn, Newey seems the one most likely to impress the Spaniard enough. Newey could perhaps be considered the most prized asset in F1 behind a handful of drivers, and would surely be tempted by the idea of bringing the glory days back to Maranello. But that does not mean a move is on the cards. Newey has repeated on numerous occasions he is happily based in the UK, while Christian Horner believes he will see out his career with the Milton Keynes outfit. Ferrari being interested and Ferrari making an offer are very different things.
Alonso to Mercedes seems hugely unlikely given the fact Mercedes has Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton tied down to long deals. Toto Wolff's superb statement that Alonso was a "racing monster" was used by some as evidence he was courting the Spaniard but it seemed a tenuous link at best. As for Ron Dennis' supposed "love letter" to Vettel, as it was described by Sky Sports F1, it would need to be quite a turn of prose to convince the world champion to join a team which has not won a race since the 2012 finale, especially as it looks unlikely to break that streak any time soon.

This is what I read, but don't know if is true: (thanks to ely0611)
quote"Kimi- Robertson- Ferrari Spain 14- Analysis" So it seems Steve Robertson has gotten immediately in touch with Ferrari over the Spanish GP Fiasco concerning a banks pay driver getting beggars support. This leads to one of many things:- 1- Kimi really feels what Ferrari did was wrong. 2- Robertson clearly feels Ferrari isn't following their contract details with Kimi support. 3- Ferrari has been told in no short order by Kimi & Robertson that what happened in Spain 2014 is breach of trust & contract as an employee employed to do maximum performance. 4- Being hampered by the team themselves is not what Kimi signed up his contract with Ferrari for. 5- Steve Robertson is immediately looking at reason & answers from Ferrari, simultaneously looking at his clients contract that has been drawn up with Kimi's lawyers etc as a Management Team. 6- If not satisfied with Ferrari's answers on the matter at hand, Steve Robertson will immediately and without fail look after his clients future affair. 7- If that future affair is Kimi continuing in F1 in 2015, then he will immediately start getting in touch with future prospects with other teams, which will include a call to Ron Dennis etc. 8- It's not Alonso, but Kimi that will not renew his 1+1 option at the end of the year, and move somewhere else if he isn't satisfied with Ferrari or their Performance level. 9- Kimi is not Massa. He has walked away before, he will walk again without a backward glance. Kimi has nothing to lose, and enough money do what he wants. So, if Ferrari are not careful, they might lose both Kimi & Alonso at the end of the year. Good luck with that if they don't play fair from now on.
