New Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows mixed reactions to Biden’s handling of Tara Reade assault claim – Yahoo News

Posted: May 14, 2020 at 5:41 pm

After nearly a month of silence on former Senate staffer Tara Reades allegations of sexual assault against him, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared on MSNBC on May 1 to publicly deny those claims for the first time. His response found a mixed reaction among the public.

According to the latest Yahoo News/YouGov poll, nearly half of respondents 49 percent were not satisfied with Bidens response to Reades allegations. Only 19 percent said they were very satisfied; the remaining 32 percent were somewhat satisfied.

This split shifts significantly in partisan cross-tabulations. Republicans taking their cue from party leaders who accuse Biden and his supporters of hypocrisy for dismissing Reades account, in contrast to how Democrats treated the assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh overwhelmingly find Bidens response unacceptable. Seventy-six percent of GOP respondents were not satisfied and only 9 percent were very satisfied.

In contrast, most Democrats were at least somewhat satisfied (41 percent) or very satisfied (37 percent) with Bidens explanation. The party rank and file may be waiting for progressive leaders to signal a direction. Many major womens groups have declined or not responded to requests for comment. Major endorsers, including former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have yet to publicly address the allegations.

The parties are split similarly on whether they even believe the allegations in the first place.

Barely any Democrats (12 percent) said they definitely believed that Biden assaulted Reade in 1993. Many more (49 percent) said they did not, and a smaller remainder (40 percent) said they were unsure. A majority of GOP respondents (53 percent) do believe Reade, with just a smattering (9 percent) saying her allegations are not true, and the rest (38 percent) not sure.

Story continues

Notably, 62 percent of respondents who said they voted for Donald Trump in 2016 claim they believe Reade. Twenty-five women have accused the president of sexual misconduct, allegations he has denied.

Yet there seems to be little likelihood that, barring further revelations, the charges will stand in Bidens way of becoming the Democratic standard-bearer. Almost a quarter of Democrats, 24 percent, and 29 percent of respondents overall, said they favored denying him the nomination, a not-insignificant fraction but far short of a majority. (Republicans, obviously, might have reason to prefer a weakened Democratic candidate.) A contested convention would be entirely unlikely barring a party insurrection, given Bidens general popularity; it would be nearly impossible at a totally virtual convention.

Allegations of sexual assault havent hit Bidens electability numbers he is still leading Trump in head-to-head surveys 45 percent to 42 percent, though by a slightly lower margin than in late April, when he was leading by 5 points, 47 percent to 42 percent.

Mike Tyson, 53, teases comeback: ‘It may not be over yet’ – Yahoo Sports

Posted: at 5:41 pm

Mike Tyson isnt calling it a comeback quite yet, but he is alluding to a return.

The former heavyweight champion referenced the possibility he could be back in the ring and on Monday shared a boxing montage as part of an advertisement on Instagram that finishes with Im back.

Tyson, who turns 54 on June 30, retired in 2005 and has in recent days been said to be returning to box Evander Holyfield again. The boxers are interested in participating in exhibition bouts for charity.

In a Play Together Apart livestream on Facebook on Thursday, Tyson addressed the possibility he would return to boxing again.

It may not be over yet. Anythings possible. I feel unstoppable now. The gods of war have reawakened me, ignited my ego and want me to go to war again. I feel like Im [young] again.

Tyson was the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title at 20 years, four months and 22 days old. But that was way back in November 1986.

He fought Holyfield twice before, including the infamous 1997 fight in which Tyson was disqualified for twice biting Holyfields ear. Holyfield, the only four-time heavyweight champion, announced his boxing comeback last week at the age of 57. He floated the idea of an exhibition bout with Tyson for charity.

Tyson shared a short clip of a boxing workout after Holyfields announcement. The full video hit his Instagram page on Monday along with an advertisement for an energy drink.

Tyson told rapper T.I. on Instagram last week he was working out in the ring and getting back in boxing shape.

"Ive been working out, Ive been trying to get in the ring, I think Im going to box some exhibitions and get in shape," Tyson said in an Instagram Live session with rapper T.I.

"I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four-round exhibitions for some charities and stuff.

"I do two hours on cardio, I do the bike and the treadmill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 300, 250 reps.

"Then I start my day with the boxing thing, I go in there and hit the mitts, 30 minutes, 25 minutes, start getting in better condition."

He and his wife, Kiki, are donating to COVID-19 relief causes and came up with a T-shirt to sell as a fundraiser.

How to Start Your Own Poker Business – The Union Journal

Posted: at 5:40 pm

Poker is a card game known for centuries. Today, it has gone digital like almost every aspect of modern reality. Consumers can savor their favorite entertainment from the comfort of their homes or even on the go. This high accessibility translates into the immense potential audience for any new poker platform. Given the existence of package software solutions, launching your own club is easier than you might think.

As internet-based gambling is more accessible and profitable than ever, why not benefit from the trend? Ready-made and customizable solutions make the process smooth and understandable to any aspiring entrepreneur. For examples of online gambling software, visit eventbetgaming that has been developing top-class solutions for 15+ years. Read on to see the general process broken down into stages.

Stage 1. Identify Your Provider

If your experience in digital poker is minimal, you may be confused by the sheer diversity of options. The most obvious and convenient choice is package solutions. This way, your site will be created on a turnkey basis, with all vital features in place. A trustworthy company will be able to share its portfolio of finished projects, so you can see what the end result looks like. It is always wisest to choose brands with many years of experience and popular websites to back up their claims.

Stage 2. Study Online Business Specifics

Digital business models have obvious advantages over old-school arrangements. First, there will be no overheads usual for brick-and-mortar establishments. After all, a casino or poker table that functions virtually does not require rent, dealers, tellers, or security staff.

However, some costs are still present, and you should have them calculated. These will include:

Stage 3. Know Your License Opportunities

Do not even think about conducting an unlicensed business. Whatever your location, consequences may be dire. Your license must come from a credible gaming authority.

This is perhaps the most tedious and laborious part of the process. Be ready for paperwork, and plan in advance. A gambling site may be based anywhere as long as local legislation allows it.

Going offshore is a temptation for many. However, any such attempts may only be made in consultation with a competent lawyer. You can always request advice and guidance from your software provider. Companies selling turnkey solutions should be able to explain licensing intricacies. You may also be able to license the software from them for a fee and a monthly share of the profit.

As soon as your platform is ready, a marketing campaign should be launched. This must be planned in advance. Consider hiring professional SEO specialists to achieve top positions in search engine results. This way, when users enter online poker or play poker online, they will be guided to your site. Other channels may include dedicated forums and review websites, blogs, and articles with playing tips.

Tom Bromley takes the upper hand in online poker game – Salisbury Journal

Posted: at 5:40 pm

One of the unexpected parts of my pandemic routine has been a regular Friday night game of online poker. Back when I was a younger, I used to play quite a lot of poker without the complications of small children waking you up the following day, Id play through the night, collapsing in a heap as the dawn rose and my diminishing stack of chips had disappeared.

The Friday night poker game is a meet up with a group of friends from university. Theyre people Ive played poker with on and off for, well, decades now. One of the reasons that the game has sustained, apart from friendship, is that were all relatively evenly matched. Sometimes one person wins: the next, its someone else. But what has been interesting in switching online is that this balance has shifted. Over the first few weeks of playing, I found myself comfortably top of our mini-league table from an offline also-ran, I now became the online man to beat.

This left me thinking about the wider differences between the real and the digital world. Changes as weve switched over to online participation are everywhere. In the House of Commons, the atmosphere has completely altered: rather than facing a bear pit of braying backbenchers, politicians now debate in near silence, a situation that plays neatly into the hands of a former lawyer such as Keir Starmer. As the nation has logged on to Zoom to conduct work and play, more and more people have been noticing a similar sensation tiredness. This has led to the term Zoom Fatigue.

But why is a one-hour meeting online more exhausting than one in real life? The science is still a bit sketchy on this, but a number of articles Ive read suggest that one of the reasons comes down to how we use body language. Back in the early 1970s, psychology professor Albert Mehrabian developed what was then a ground-breaking theory into how humans communicate in his particular experiment, he suggested that just 7% of communication is down to the words spoken, 38% the way theyre said and 55% the body language that accompanies.

Mehrabians theory has been debated and argued about over the years, but whatever the actual percentages, body language clearly plays an important role. And in an online setting, those non-verbal cues arent there in quite the same way. This leads to participants straining and struggling to understand whats being said. The fact youre often faced with a gallery of faces means that youre attempting this with many people at one time.

Back in my poker game, have I been able to better hide my usual tells? Perhaps. Or maybe Ive just been lucky.

Poker Hall of Famer Crandell Addington Reveals Secrets from Early Days of WSOP – PokerNews.com

Posted: at 5:40 pm

May 12, 2020Chad Holloway

Do you know who holds the record for most World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final tables? Hint: this player has been at the final table an incredible seven times.

Granted, those appearances came back in the 1970s when the WSOP was much smaller than it is today, but the explosion in poker's popularity has all but ensured Crandall Addington maintains the record in perpetuity.

The 81-year-old Addington, born June 2, 1938, was recently a guest on the PokerNews Podcast. One of the few remaining Texas road gamblers, Addington has all but disappeared from the poker landscape.

A longtime entrepreneur and oil man he's a self-made millionaire Addington basically retired from the game in the 1980s with his last cash coming back in 1990.

"Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit, you're shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you."

"I haven't played in Vegas in years and years. When I retired I focused on my business enterprises," Addington told PokerNews. "I don't even play around [San Antonio] anymore, and they've got some really high-stakes games here now, which is what I like to play cash, no-limit high stakes."

While he hasn't been in the game for decades, he made such an impact that he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2005, which is the last time he played at the WSOP.

You might recall Addington as the player who uttered one of the most famous lines in poker history: "Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit, you're shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you."

Here are some highlights from Addington's interview on the PokerNews Podcast.

While he doesn't play anymore, Addington has fond memories of the game, including the origin of the WSOP.

"From a historical standpoint, I guess probably Doyle [Brunson] and I are the last of the Texas road gamblers still around to give you a bit of history," he said.

"The World Series of Poker was never really intended to be what it's become. Tom Moore from San Antonio, who was a friend of mine, who I moved to Reno with in 1967, he was trying to buy the Holiday Hotel & Casino downtown on the river in Reno. It was a locals casino, and the owner Newt Crumley had died in a plane crash."

At the time, Addington wasn't married so he had no qualms heading to Reno. Unfortunately, Moore's plan to run the casino fell through as they couldn't get the license.

Even so, in 1969 Moore hosted the Texas Gamblers Convention in Reno, the precursor to the WSOP.

"It was not a tournament, it was a whole bunch of the best players and bookmakers and high rollers in the country. They got together there at the Holiday and we played all cash games in all varieties," Addington explained.

"Benny [Binion] asked him, 'Can I buy this tournament from you?' Tom called and asked me about it. I said, 'Ya, sell it to him. Benny's a great showman, he'll find a way to really promote this.' That's exactly what happened except Tom just gave it to him."

A year later, the festivities relocated to Las Vegas, but it still wasn't a poker tournament format.

Instead, participants, like Addington, competed and voted on the best player. Afterwards, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder and a sportswriter suggested to Binion that they call the event something and play a single game, which they reasoned would help with publicity.

"Benny asked all his favorites, the Texas road gamblers, what do you want to play," Addington said.

"We told him we wanted to play no-limit hold'em. It was played for $5,000 instead of $10,000. I was someplace in 71, I think I might've been in Canada playing in a big game there.

"Either there or in Mexico where they played real high, so I wasn't there in '71. Anyway, it was a hit."

He continued: "The tournament was just something to showcase what we were doing there. Benny used it to get a bunch of customers for the casino, and the poker players used it to get some drop-ins, what we used to call 'seals'.

"We were 'great white sharks' waiting for seals right there, and we got a bunch of them. They lost a lot of money. Probably the most infamous of them that did was Jimmy Chagra.

"You can't imagine how much money he lost."

The early years of the WSOP were played winner take all, at least on the face of things. Behind closed doors, deals were struck.

"The players voted to split the money either when you got down to three or four," Addington admitted. "I always voted for it to be winner take all.

"They'd say, 'Well you have more money than we do.' I said, 'Well, I don't know about all that, but I think we ought to do this if we're going to be representatives, winner take all."

"The players voted to split the money either when you got down to three or four. I always voted for it to be winner take all."

A good example of this, according to Addington, was in 1976 when Brunson won. Apparently, they voted to split the $220,000 prize money with four players remaining.

The deal was that each player got to keep 75% of the chip value in front of them (remember back then each chip was dollar for dollar) and they played for the other 25%.

At the time, Addington was the chip leader so secured a nice payday.

"I got to keep 75% of mine and Doyle got to pay the taxes on it," Addington laughed. After Brunson won it again in 1977, things had to change.

"In the golf world, it was said players were splitting prize money in televised events, which didn't sit well with the IRS. Laws were passed and Binion took notice.

"Benny called us in 1977 and said, 'Hey, we've got some trouble.' He said this next year in '78, he said, we're just going to have to split the money. We'll split it into five pieces that was the first year that it was really distributed as it was represented, and I came in second that year to [Bobby] Baldwin."

Addington also talked about how the game was played back in the day, and how Poker Hall of Famer Brian "Sailor" Roberts changed it.

"At the time people were relying on their hunches in card games, in particular, hold'em.

Sailor was busy working out poker strategies where you could win the money without a good poker hand.

He was probably the innovator that came along with that idea," said Addington. Then I came along with if you can isolate one player before the flop I said you can give him any two hole cards that you want to, other than a pair, and he won't be able to pair either one of those two cards on the flop. They said show me, so I did."

He continued: "Doyle and I at the time were the only two players of that era that had a university education.

I've done statistics so I knew how to calculate that, and that's how it 2.34:1 that you can't pair either one of those cards.

So, that set you up to win hands without a hand. You're a favorite if you just bet on the flop we won a lot of money playing other people's hands rather than our own. That's probably why we were as successful as we were."

Addington was known for always dressing nice when he played, and that in turn earned him the nickname "Dandy."

While some players poked fun, there was actually a reason behind it.

"It was a part of the discipline I wanted to project. If you don't have any discipline playing in games you'll wind up a loser. It not only reminded me to be discipline but it was part of my table image that I projected to the players."

Addington then shared a story involving Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder.

"I kept a tie on because I was wearing a suit, he got friendly with me. We were in a little cramped space in the Horseshoe and big lights were hot. He said, 'You'll come out of that tie before long Crandell.'"

Addington responded, "No I won't."

"You wanna bet?" the Greek shot back.

"Sure," Addington snapped. The Greek didn't want to bet him too much for fear of incentivizing him, so Addington proposed a simple $1 bet.

"He said that's a bet. I kept it on all through the tournament and in the end, he gave me a $1 bill with his signature on it."

In the early 1980s, Addington headed back to Texas to focus on his businesses and leave poker in the rearview mirror.

"Benny and the Texas road gamblers were pretty much responsible for the change in attitude that society has towards poker player in particular," Addington said.

Speaking of the road gamblers, was Addington ever held up like in the tales told by Brunson and Amarillo Slim?

"I was lucky enough that I didn't get robbed. I knew a bunch of those outlaws, and from time to time I'd help them if they got broke, if they needed some money, so they never did rob me," Addington explained.

"It was mainly guys who did that for a living that was sticking up poker games, so you didn't have a bunch of crazy dope addicts running through the door where you might get shot at any minute."

As for what poker has become, Addington is delighted to see how big things have got.

"I'm pleased that it's turned into the industry that it has. The irony of it was that when we first got started, we were using the media, we used them, but now the tables have turned and the media has used all these poker players and profited greatly by it."

Nowadays, Addington is living in San Antonio, Texas where he's lived nearly all his life. An avid fly fisherman, he is also the co-founder of Phoenix Biotechnology.

"We are testing one of our drugs now against COVID-19 virus and it looks very promising," he said.

While he doesn't play poker these days, he does keep atop what's happening and still talks to Brunson, his friend of more than 50 years (Addington actually penned a chapter in Super System 2 documenting the history of the game).

"The irony of this is, I was never really a tournament player, and I never played in anybody else's tournaments," he said. "I only played in the Main Event because Benny wanted me to A guy that's really a non-tournament player, me, winds up holding the record for the most final table appearances at the Main Event."

Online Poker Could Be Live in West Virginia This Summer – LegalUSPokerSites.com

Home Poker News West Virginia Prepares for Online Poker and Casino Launches

The last news of significance out of West Virginia regarding its development of online gaming rules for the new market was in December 2019. And that news pertained to the West Virginia Lottery Commission meeting with colleagues in Pennsylvania to help develop rules for online poker and casino games.

And thensilence. West Virginia did its work behind the scenes. And just when spring was in the air and reporters were starting to knock on the door of the Lottery Commission for an update, the coronavirus pandemic appeared. With that, everything changed.

As it turned out, one of those changes seems to be ready to push online gambling to the forefront. Sites could launch as early as this summer.

Lets get into it.

After several years of efforts by lawmakers like State Delegate Shawn Fluharty, the West Virginia legislature seriously considered a bill to legalize online poker and casino games, sports wagering, video lottery games, racetrack table games, and daily fantasy sports.

That bill, HB.2934, experienced a few changes, but some relatively quick negotiations led to the passage of the bill on March 9, 2019. Fluharty and Delegate Jason Barrett achieved success with overwhelmingly positive votes in both legislative houses, 26-to-7 in the Senate and 78-to-18 in the House.

By the end of March, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice had decided to allow the bill through without his signature, and it became law.

There was an initial 90-day waiting period before the new online gambling law became effective. At that time, the West Virginia Lottery Commission charged with oversight of the new gambling options said it would file its rules for internet gaming by the end of the summerof 2020. Despite already starting a draft, Commission members wanted to visit other states with online gambling and take their time to do it correctly.

That kind of timetable put the likely launch of any online poker or casino sites well into 2021.

Meanwhile, Lottery Director John Myers had coordinated with colleagues in Pennsylvania to ensure that West Virginias rules were on the right track. They were. That was in December.

No news was good news. Many assumed the rules were being finalized behind the scenes.

And then, a global pandemic moved through the United States in early March, shutting down casinos, racetracks, and all non-essential businesses in West Virginia and beyond. The priority for every state was to prevent big outbreaks of COVID-19.

By late April, lawmakers began to urge Governor Justice to allow casinos to open. However, casinos were not at the top of the list of priorities of businesses to reopen.

Online gambling, which could have helped deliver some revenue to West Virginia gambling establishments during the crisis, was still months away from any launch, as the rules hadnt even been finalized yet. Fluharty began to express his frustration with the delays. West Virginia seems to be a state where the legislature acts and then the legislation gets parked, he said.

Days after Fluharty made the comments about delays, the West Virginia Lottery Commission revealed that it approved emergency rules for online gaming. It actually happened at the Commissions meeting on April 29, though neither lawmakers nor the public were informed.

According to iGB North America, the Commission will file the rules with the West Virginia Secretary of States office by May 15. At that point, Secretary of State Mac Warner must approve or reject the rules within 42 days.

Director Myers said that the approval of those rules means that West Virginia casinos can immediately begin offering online poker and casino games. Those emergency rules will offer minimum internal controls as the Commission works to finalize permanent rules that must be adopted by the state legislature.

It is conceivable that some of our igaming operators could be up and running as early as June or July under the emergency rules, Myers said.

There are some certainties under the emergency rules. Many of these rules were outlined by the law passed last year, but others are listed in the rules document published by West Virginia MetroNews.

Each casino may run up to three skins under its license.

Interim interactive gaming licenses permits 270 days of gaming from date of issuance.

A full approved interactive gaming license is valid for five years.

Each gaming operator must pay a $100,000 licensing fee.

Each supplier must pay a $10,000 fee.

Operators will pay a 15% gross gaming revenue tax.

WV Lottery Commission must approve all advertising before publication.

Gaming operators may share interactive gaming with players in other jurisdictions via an agreement that must be signed by the State of West Virginia and the other jurisdictions.

The 40-page document entitled West Virginia Lottery Interactive Wagering Rule explains numerous terms associated with online gambling. It then explains the many requirements for casinos wanting to offer interactive gaming, all to be in compliance with the West Virginia Racetrack Video Lottery Act and West Virginia Racetrack Table Games Act.

Some of the most important requirements are:

Online gaming operators must reserve cash in a segregated account to cover all player funds.

Players must be physically located in West Virginia at the time of wagering.

Players must be 21 years or older.

Suspicious wagering activities must be reported to the Commission.

Operators must respond to player complaints within 10 calendar days.

Operators must adhere to all limitations set forth in the Wire Act and UIGEA.

Primary interactive gaming servers must be located in West Virginia.

Multiple notices regarding gambling problems and help must be posted.

Operators must keep records of all play for at least five years.

Players lose an account if inactive for 16 months.

Players must provide legal name, date of birth, part or all of their social security number, residential address, email address, telephone number, and identity verification (utility bill, etc.).

At this time, there is no information regarding any online poker or casino games operator applying for a license. And no casino has announced any official partnership with an online poker or casino games operator.

The casino properties that are open to partnerships are:

The Casino Club at the Greenbrier (independent ownership by Governor Justice)

Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races (operated by Penn National Gaming)

Mardi Gras Casino and Resort (owned by Delaware North)

Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort (operated by Century Casinos, recently sold by Eldorado)

Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack (owned by Delaware North)

If online poker and casino games have the potential to launch this summer, some partnerships will likely be announced in the coming month.

Asian Poker Grind House With Colluding Players Exposed on Twitter – top10pokersites

Posted: at 5:40 pm

Asian Poker Grind House With Colluding Players Exposed on TwitterMay 14, 2020Adrian Sternehttps://top10pokersites.net

Footage of an Asian poker grind house with a group of players multi-tabling on the same poker app has been making the rounds on Twitter.

The person who took the video was speaking Mandarin, leading many to believe that the house maybe located somewhere in China.

The video was posted by Joey Ingram on his Twitter account, and has since gained more than 100,000 views. One user also shared a screenshot of a list of players whose account names are seemingly related to each other.

Commenters say the app in question was PPPoker, a major private club-based online poker platform, with users across more than 100 countries.

Last year, PPPoker made headlines when an unregulated, underground online poker club named Pokerclub.ag became the center of a Ponzi scheme controversy. The club was being promoted by Adnan NYPokerKing Mohammad, and was utilizing the PPPoker online software to run and facilitate games. Mohammad was accused of failing to pay players, with some being owed five figures.

PPPoker is booming in Asia, according to one of the commenters of the viral video. However, club-based apps operating in the continent over the past few years have always been hit with controversies and allegations of collusion, scams, and unpaid or stolen funds because of how they work. In order to play in these sites, you need to have an introduction via middle men, often called agents or hosts.

Sometimes these poker club based apps employ dirty tactics for their own personal benefit at the expense of unsuspecting players. They often hire a group of players using different account IDs to play in the same tournament, gaining illicit advantage over honest players. The grind house shown in the video could be one example.

Unlike the more credible and reputable sites, private club-based apps are more prone to these kinds of unscrupulous activity as the culprits always find an easy way out. As to the case of Mohamamad, he vehemently denied the accusations made against him and claimed he merely represented the club and was not involved in its inside operations.

What makes things worse is the apparent inaction of the apps or sites involved despite numerous complaints from players. One of the responses to the video suggested that it was actually an old footage and that apps are now improving their security to prevent similar instances.

Online poker has always been an attractive target for cheaters; that is why major online operators have continuously ramped up their efforts to make their platforms fairer, safer and more secure. The footage should serve as a lesson to players to just avoid dodgy sites to better protect their money.

Vettel goes ”all in” with his game of poker: ‘It’s Mercedes or retirement’ – GPblog

Posted: at 5:40 pm

With the seats at Ferrari and McLaren occupied by Carlos Sainz and Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel must look for an alternative. Does the German still want to continue and if so, which team does the Ferrari driver want to join?

Vettel leaves Ferrari because, according to the German, there was no longer mutual trust. Vettel misses the support of his team since Charles Leclerc came in and it is that trust that Vettel needs so much. At Red Bull Racing that was the case, but since 2018 the doubts were at Ferrari.

Where many still had confidence in a switch from Vettel to McLaren, that door is now officially closed and Renault seems to be the only logical solution. However, the question is whether Vettel, with his 32 years, still wants to start a project that will not be successful in the short term. Reporters Bianca Garloff and Ralf Bach are clear about that.

''Vettel now just plays poker. It's Mercedes or nothing. Vettel only wants to stay in Formula 1 if he gets a car with which he can become world champion and as a top team you will always consider him'', said the journalists of F1-insider.com. Toto Wolff already said that they are looking at the situation, so who knows, Vettel might be a serious option for the German race stable.
