Rob Smedley?

Although i am well aware that Rob Smedley is a employee of Ferrari i wonder if now that Felipe Massa has confirmed that he is leaving Ferrari i wonder if Rob Smedley will follow him out. However I hope Rob smedley stays with Ferrari and becomes the race engineer for Kimi raikkonen because i reckon that would be epic.
what are others opinions ?

Dunno if Kimi will want his normal guys with him

will we see Kimi slowing down Seb this season if he can?

its possible massa may end up at sauber if nico hulk replaces kimi raikk at lotus --

end of the day money talks and i would imagine the ferrari shilling is a fair bit more than the sauber shilling if a massa to sauber move ever comes to pass -

smedley hasnt just stepped off a banana boat and knows his way around a pound and would imagine he would stay where the money is --

Depends so much on other influences, certainly when Niki Lauda left Ferrari at the end of '77 he took his chief engineer, Ermanno Cuoghi, with him, but there was a perception by some that Coughi was being victimised by Ferrari because of his close relationship with Lauda, I forget the whole story now, but he may have even been sacked, they are a funny bunch at Ferrari.....
As Ecclestone didn't mind, Lauda took Cuoghi to Brabham with him (as World Champion) at the beginning of the '78 season.
