Keke Rosberg for finnish television channel mtv3: Kimi goes back to McLaren! I'm pretty sure he knows very well that Nico will go to Brawn next season :)

On the contrary in my opinion. Far more bull & reckless decision making. Lost the art of their ultra-efficient, machine like abilities.

Far more bull & reckless decision making.

Looks like you are confusing "poor mistakes" with "reckless decision making".

The "bull" went away after JPM left. We had far less hissy fits and toy throwing incidents from Ross and Michael after that.

Preview - or rather, a review - of how a Massa-Alonso tandem would go:

2007 European GP at Nurburgring:




Here's the full, translated transcript...

Alonso: You did it intentionally, as in Barcelona.

Massa: No, I did not.

Alonso: You broke my sidepod there - go and have a look at it!

Massa: Go f**k yourself!. You won and you say something like this.

Alonso: Mate, it can't break itself.


Alonso: I have fought with Heidfeld, with everybody, what you did with three laps to go can't be done.


Massa: He wins and says that. You must learn.


Alonso: It is you who has to learn. I have fought with everybody and with three laps to go, we touch!


Massa: Bravo.


Alonso: Bravo you!


Massa: You say that I did it on purpose, like I did that on purpose in Barcelona?. You were remained behind.

As for lewi and kimi

- lewis is very outgoing while kimi is a "special" person

- lewis is mclaren's boy while kimi is the prodigal son

- lewis is aggressive while kimi makes opportunities for himself


i think its going down as another lewis-alonshow tandem...

can't wait to see what happens

Kimi: I might retitre!

- I will maybe continue or maybe not.
-I see no reason to continue if I can't drive with a car that can win title with.
-I'm not yet sure what I will do.Rally is an option but so is Formula 1.I will decide what I do before the start of the next season.

Kimi's manager Steve Robertson however says Kimi wants to continue in F1 and have gotten many offers from many teams and McLaren is one of them.

Yes I just read, I would be shocked if he left F1 but it might happen.

Maybe he does not want to go back to Mclaren and will take a year out to see if any other teams produce a good car.

RBR should drop Webber and get Kimi tbh.

Nooo Kimi should stay in F1 for 1 more year atleast, hopefully mclaren drop Kovy for him!

Wierd how Alonso has also said that ferrari will be his last team in f1, why do they feel need to say this (Kimi said them same a few years ago)

On the interview that Kimi gave to Finnish TV-channel MTV3 ha said that driving for McLaren would be a good option:
"Se on yksi harvoista vaihtoehdoista. Siellä ne pystyvät takaamaan sellaisen kaluston, jolla pystyy taistelemaan voitoista. Meillä on aina ollut niiden kanssa hyvät välit. Vaikka minä vaihdoin tiimiä, niin ei se johtunut mistään sellaisesta, etteikö meillä olisi ollut hyvät välit tai että jotain olisi tapahtunut. Siellä on mukavia ihmisiä ja olen aina tullut toimeen niiden kanssa."

Translation:

"It(McLaren) is one of the few good choices. There they can quarantee me the equipment that is capable of winning. We have always had goods relations with them. My leaving from the team back then didn't have anything to do with bad relations with them, or that something had happened. There are many nice people in the team, and I have always gotten along well with them."

He also says that in whichever series he might race in, even in WRC, the team has to be capable of providing the equipmet that is cabable of winning. He says that there would be no point to race in circles with not so good equipment.

The problem for McLaren is, it would be a big risk to give Kimi a long-term contract, because we don't know if he will lose motivation and plod around like he did in the middle of 2008. A one year contract with a performance clause for 2011 is probably the best option.
