Bah, no English link? That means this is worthless news!

Oh wait henners already posted this!

I wish him well in anything he does - he's had the guts to go to another series and come out of his comfort zone. I do wonder how committed he has been, especially in regards to making pace-notes.
Also, he hasn't really brought the media coverage people in the WRC thought he would.

I didn't bring nationality into it at all. I mentioned two usually reliable sources who had not reported anything which is why I was reserving judgement on this RUMOUR. You have a bit of a habit for searching for my posts and trying to provoke don't you ioan?

Sure sure, the two reliable sources were British just by accident. Keep it up, it keeps things 'exciting' around here while waiting for a GP week end.

Back to topic, I really hope this is true and he comes back to F1.

Is that a bad thing?

Last year, in the WRC media/news there was far more mention of Kimi than the rise of Seb v2 or anyone/thing else. It was just Kimi, Kimi, Kimi...

But now there is no mention of him at all. I didn't know he even started in Spain - I still don't quite know why he retired, nothing in the news...

So has Kimi got the Window Cleaning Technician job or the Floor Sweeping Technician job

You mean Taki Inoue

Seriously though why would Taki Inoue know this, am I missing something is he involved in Williams????

Taki lives in Monaco and is well connected to F1, due to his involvement with young Jap drivers trying to get into the sport. Apparently the Kimi signing also is tied to Williams landing QNB as a potential sponsor (Keeping fingers crossed!!)

Times will be better for Williams next year. If they get Kimi he should bring 0.5 seconds to the team and I think part of the reason Williams are so slow this year is because they can't use off-throttle-blown diffuser technology with the Cosworth.

In the latest F1 Racing Magazine Kimi apparently admits that he is considering a return to F1. It would be great, it's just that the car is going to be bad.

Rubens has said that the car behaves ok. one day, then the next it behaves completely different. Same aero set-up. Fundamental issues with the car.
This doesn't mean that the car is doomed next year. Many changes coming.

Nothing is clear yet, officially. But I really hope this will come thrue.

And besides, I don´t care what car he drives as long as he is on the grid next year. Am I the only one who is so dumb.
