Mclaren wanted Vettel to partner Hamilton in 2008. Norbert Haug negotiated with the german driver, but as he was contractually tied to Red Bull, who weren't letting him go, the deal couldn't go through. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

So Sauber is the team that was supposed to enter F1 as a factory Mercedes team, became BMW fifteen years later, then reappeared as Sauber again, and then, another fifteen years after that, it will become Audi. You can't make this up.

Top teams, like Mclaren and Brabham wanted Stefan Bellof for 1986, but he was on his way to Ferrari, despite the other opportunities. Then tragedy occured. And a generational talent was lost. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

Sad news for this night. Philippe Streiff, aged 67, has passed away today. He survived a terrible crash 33 years ago, but had to spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. May he rest in peace! #RIP #RestInPeace #Formula1

Roland Ratzenberger came rather close to make his F1 debut 3 years earlier than he actually did. He was close to an agreement with the debutant Jordan team in 1991, but a sponsor pulled out at the last moment. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

Many drivers were touted as a possible teammate to Damon Hill in 1994, after the team lost Ayrton Senna. Williams made an offer to Barrichello, while free agents, such as Patrese and Warwick were linked, as were Johnny Herbert and Erik Comas. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

In early 1992, Peter Sauber announced he will enter Formula-1 on his own in 1993, with Wendlinger and Schumacher as his drivers. Benetton, however refused to release the german, even though Schumi had an exit clause. 1/3 #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

If Jenson Button was forced to leave for Williams, Nick Heidfeld would have taken his place at Honda. He reportedly signed a letter of intent with Honda, that under certain circumstances he will join the team. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

Jos Verstappen had an agreement to drive for Sauber in 1997, alongside Johnny Herbert. The deal was torpedoed by Ferrari, as the swiss team were getting their engines, the italians helped long-time tester Nicola Larini to the seat. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

Enquiries were made towards Red Bull by Kimi Raikkonen, whether a seat would be available for 2012, alongside Vettel. The team opted to renew Webber instead. The iceman's management also had talks with Mercedes, before he ended up at Lotus. #F1 #Formula1

As Damon Hill planned to retire at his home GP in 1999, Jordan had to look for alternatives. Jos Verstappen tested with the car, but both Mika Salo's and Nick Heidfeld's name appeared in the press. Test driver, Shinji Nakano, also had an outside chance. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

Being the F3000 runner-up in 1997, Juan Pablo Montoya was reportedly in talks with Stewart about a 1998 seat. The colombian's name was linked to the team again in the middle of 1998, as patience towards Jan Magnussen was running out. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

In 2013 it looked more than likely that teenager, Sergey Sirotkin will be driving for Sauber in 2014, as a partnership between the team and russian investors was in the making. Sauber eventually decided not ot throw the russian into the deep water just yet. #F1 #Formula1

Possibly the most legendary almost move ever. Jean Alesi signed a three year contract with Williams in 1990, meaning he would be with them in '91, '92 and '93. But then Williams started chasing Senna, which started a domino effect... #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

In the December of 2000 Autosport reported that 9 drivers are in the running for the second Prost seat. Sarrazin, Pantano, Saelens, Alonso, Cochet, Bourdais, Mazzacane, Fukuda and Bernoldi were all in line to partner Alesi. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

Sebastien Buemi was high on Renault's shopping list, Eric Boullier claimed in 2010. The swiss could have replaced Vitaly Petrov for 2011, thus creating a Kubica-Buemi duo for Renault. Which would have been mouth-watering. #F1 #Formula1 #NotYetRetroF1

The Cabin cigarette brand promised unlimited funds to Flavio Briatore of Benetton, given he is able to sign Ayrton Senna for 1994. Around the same time Mild Seven also offered to sponsor the team, their only criterion for the team was to sign Aguri Suzuki. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

It was reported in the latter stages of 1974, that Niki Lauda is looking to leave Ferrari, as he felt Regazzoni was prioritized over him. It was rumoured that he might join James Hunt at Hesketh, while Mclaren reportedly made an offer to the austrian. #F1 #Formula1 #RetroF1

Wilson Fittipaldi has sadly passed away today, at the age of 80. As a driver, he did score 3 points in Formula-1 with Brabham, before setting up Fittipaldi Automotive, the only brazilian constructor in F1 to this day. May he rest in peace. #RIP #Fittipaldi

I always wondered why did the Brabham team struggle so much in 1992? They had the same chassis which brought them 3 points in '91. They changed the Yamaha V12 engine to the Judd V10, which did quite well in the BMS's the previous year. 1/3
