It would be pretty ironic if Kimi DOES replace Webber who then goes to Renault.

While Flav was boss of Renault, and Webber's manager, those rumours were always there, but would be ironic if Webber were to finally land up there only once Flav is out of F1 altogether.

Bruno Senna says there's a big chance he'll be in f1 next year, there's advanced conversations with one team it seems.

Last week, Lewis: "I'm vary happy with the situation here at Mclaren."


lawl.


Well, not done yet, more:

Kimi, it's said that he goes to sign the contract next week, it's currently wip (lawyers analysing and that stuff)

Perhaps now Macca may've a seat for Rosberg in the team, personally, I think there'll be soon hoaxes of Rubens to Macca just ppl people like to create theories who look logical ( "yo seez brah, Mercedes put Rosberg in Brawn and just transfered Rubens for Macca so that's all okay, yo).

I think one thing that could trigger moves is the coming gpweekend.

If Button wins it, then Brawn will almost certainly soon after announced drivers. Based on the logic he doesnt want to disrupt the battle by adding new things such as being replaced, so best keep things in the hat till its over.

Raikkonen will be paid his 2010 Ferrari salary by Santander, right?

Makes sense to put him in the other Santander sponsored car.

Hope so, maybe he can get a drive with one of the new teams.
If the likes of Piquet Jr are worth a shot, Bruno certainly is.

Hmmm, my worst fears there might have come true. Possibly.

WHy the hell raikkone will go to the "left offs" of alonso trail at renault..lol! we know renault doesnt have the consistency to build a strong car thrice in a season or even making huge improvement on middle stint of the season(Like what Lewis,heikki & mclaren did now.), Anyways Raikkonen-redbull doesn't sound right to me. doesnt have the crisp and the taste to be excited about that. Im still voting for raikkonen-lewis-mclaren. 4 Great drivers(Currently) in 2 Top teams.

He will drive for McLaren or he wont drive at all.

Sure he can also change his mind and go to Renault or Toyota, but atm according to his own words he wants a car wich is so good that he dont have to fight to win races or he will just stay home.

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

What about the end of the 2008 season then?

You mean a the back to back wins of alonso on Singapore&Fuji?. It was both a lucky wins, but i can't tell about his podium on interlagos though.

His performance was more than luck. In the last 6 races of 2008, he scored: 4th, 4th, 1st, 1st, 4th, 2nd. He scored 43 of his 61 points in the last 6 races - clearly showing his car had improved.

Even Piquet got the car up to 4th at Fuji ;)

Kimi's manager Steve Robertson just said to MTV3 that Kimi and RedBull are not having conversations, RedBull is Kimi's personal sponsor and that's all there is, Webber and Vettel will continue with RBR.

according to portugal autosport, Kimi and McLaren have done the deal already but some final details are yet to be made....maybe they will release the contract during Brazil GP weekend where Kimi will have a birthday also :)

Its good to hear the McLaren deal seems to be still going well, I think that would be the best outcome for Kimi, and for the sport itself, as it would set up what could be one of the great seasons.

it seems those two details that still needs some agreements to be made are PR-works (Kimi wants less) and Rally races (Kimi wants more of them)=)

Whitmarsh(for what it's worth) and Norbert Haug are both refusing to rule out a Kimi return at the moment:

It just makes so much sense that Kimi would return, so hopefully it does go ahead. Not only is his speed proven and incredibly good, he has worked there before so will fit right in with the team, and is probably the least likely of all the drivers on the grid to get involved in a dispute with Lewis.

Bad joke?

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?
