Re: Kimi to Ferrari (almost) confirmed
Bizarre on many levels but all somewhat typically F1 (Mansell back to Williams... Mansell in a McLaren et al)
I have a feeling we are not done with the "out there" announcements for 2014 yet.Real Race Cars Dont Have Doors....

Re: Kimi to Ferrari (almost) confirmed
People have been saying it will never happen, and to be honest I don't know that Ferrari is the place for Kimi... But he has been hinting a lot on his Facebook page. I think the last mentioned about Ferrari is that they will make an official announcement of the driver on Wednesday this week.

Re: Kimi to Ferrari (almost) confirmed
Personally I think being teammates to Alonso for someone of Raikkonens stature is a mistake. He's better off being lead driver at Lotus. But I guess he has his reasons.

Re: Kimi to Ferrari (almost) confirmed
To be honest, I will be surprised if Kimi is able to live with Alonso next year. Extremely surprised. I got word about this from a friend of mine about two days ago and wanted to post it but the forum has been down.
What has been going on there by the way?
Anyway, I think Raikkonen, unless he finds that speed he had at Mclaren, will be put to the wall by Alonso. Massa already beat him and Massa is nowhere near Raikkonen. Anyway, guess we'll see in time. I hope i'm wrong because I like Raikkonen I just don't rate him as highly as I do Alonso when it comes to getting the most out of the car.

Re: Kimi to Ferrari (almost) confirmed
Italian newspapers have today confirmed this news too. Personally it's a great news for me

Re: Kimi to Ferrari (almost) confirmed
I´m very nervous at the moment, nothing is confirmed yet.
And pino, I´m as glad as you, when LDM says it.

Re: Kimi to Ferrari (almost) confirmed
Disaster waiting to happen.
I'll go as far to say that if it is Fred and Kimi at Ferrari in 2014, it certainly won't be the case in 2015.
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
