If DC is correct, I see Kimi being very happy at Mac.
He'll let the younger, hungrier Hamilton do the testing & development work, then he'll show up for the race weekend and GO. Probably means he'll come second to Hamilton, but probably a sacrafice he's willing to make to live the life he wants to. Much like a few years ago when Montoya went to Nascar: less pressure & spotlight, but gets to be with family & live life much happier.

Not sure if even Kimi will be happy with cruising along behind Hamilton. if he goes, he'll want to win.

Hamilton v Raikkonen will be something to behold though, along with Alonso v Massa :)

Of course he wants to win, they all want to win. I just think Kimi won't be willing to make all the sacrifices to make it happen. imo Kimi would rather just run with his talent. He's got LOADS of talent, but that only gets you so far. To get/stay on the top step, you need to make sacrifices as well.

I think that list would be longer if Kimi was as ruthless and hard working as MS. MS threw morals out the window, and probably couldn't point out his kids in the school class photo during his years at Ferrari. I don't think Kimi is like that. He's smart enough to know that there's more to life than F1 24/7.

Yes, theres vodka and women, in that order of importance.

Its funny how people who dont know sh!t like to think they know him. Ive seen him with his friends close to our summer place and he´s just like the rest of the guys. He just happens to be Kimi.

No offense, Rab :)

since it seems that Kimi seems to shine in alternate years...2009 could well turn out to be his year :D

It was a joke. Lighten up francis.
