With Kimi recently partaking in the World Rally Championship and now Vettel expressing an interest (see here: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77533).
With the ever increasing number of F1 drivers, granted only two but still - it's increasing, and a certain WRC driver interested in a move to F1 - I was wondering how great it would be if we had a rally with F1 drivers only and a Grand Prix with WRC drivers only, basically a one off swap special every year.
Well...I think it would be a great idea, anyway.

Latvala for F1 - please.
I think that Vettel was just being nice to the WRC interviewer. He could hardly say 'This is bollocks, I'm off back to the champagne tent.'
Maybe he is worried about Loeb taking his seat.

Oh yes, please. That guy'd find a way to drop the car from a hitherto-unseen cliff somewhere in Silverstone. And was bound to drop it in the sea at Monaco!
Stay home, Colin Kolles!

I think it'd be a great idea if more F1 drivers did other disciplines, not just WRC. Brazilian stock cars, DTM, BTCC, WTCC, STCC, Le Mans... all of these would be great for keeping a driver focussed and entertained.

Interviews like this have happened before with no driver actually making the crossover -- after Juan Pablo Montoya won his first (and to date, only) NASCAR Busch Series (now Nationwide Series *barfs into bucket*) race, David Coulthard expressed interest in NASCAR.
Where's Coulthard now? Certainly not in NASCAR!
