Raikkonen visits Williams factory

[donKey jote]

There's a difference between paying for a seat in Ferrari and paying for a seat in Williams though

[janneppi]

Yeah, paying for a Ferrari seat is rather more expensive.

To be honest, I'd rather see Bottas in a Williams car than Räikkönen. We need new Finn on the grid.

What do you think, if Kimi returns, will he do well or not?

It's really not down to Kimi, it's down to Williams building a quick car which is really not on the horizon. So no, he won't do well.

Or maybe, just maybe... this factory visit is mostly about Frank playing games to get his current paydriver's sponsors to cough up some more money

Absolutely.

He would be merely 32 years old next year, so I don't see, why he shouldn't be able get back to his best form again after settling in.

It would be comparable to Niki Lauda's comeback (33yrs old after 2.5-year break) and the Austrian became a WDC again. Although perhaps he wasn't as spectacular as he had been during his first career, struggling against team-mate John Watson in 82-83, the same man, who he had managed to beat as a team-mate in 78 in Brabham.
