I hope they encourage Kimi to return but he seems quite happy with Rally at the moment. Mind you, a Team where nobody expects and a Team mate that's a walk over is not a bad platform for a return.
Of the other 3, Nick is safe but boring, Toni a gamble and Senna will make Petrov look good.
Renault have no plan B at the moment that makes sense. They need Kimi.
As for JV, get real.
And we can also ban on safety grounds the RoC, using Paddock Bikes, visiting the Gym, sexual positions other than woman on top and no drinkies incase they become Alcholics. In fact, no food either in case of food poisoning.Quote:

Why, that's in the off season as far as F1 is concerned isn't it?. If drivers were not an expensive commodity as in pre-60's, then let them do what they want, but when you pay them gazillions, and have no credible plan B to placate the money your sponsors are putting up should your No1 driver get injured, then you can see the rationale..........Quote:

I almost wish someone would employ him just so we can get this over with. Every year there's a rumour linking him to some team or other (last year it was even a non-existent make-believe team) with a handful of fantastists claiming he'd blow the opposition away - forgetting how utterly embarrassing he was on his last comeback in 2004, what was it, two P10s and a P11?Quote:

Go on Eric, stick the old boy in your Renault so we can all have a laugh! :D
well i think we should have equal opportunity laughs - We have MS back why not JV then we can all laugh together.Quote:
