Are you seriously suggesting that a human could have won this year's championship with the current Ferrari? :rolleyes: :)Quote:

And such contract between Ferrari & Räikkönen/Robertson was done still in Todt's era. Mystery.
Kimi said in an interview that he could probably have continued at Ferrari in 2010 but there was no point because they (the team) wanted something else. There was no point in fighting them. He got compensation and they got what they wanted. He also commented on his troubles of 2008 and said that they suddenly changed the car which didn't work for him and it took a long time before they got back on the right track. Interesting stuff.

The questions is, he is talking too much about not racing next year and just retiring from F1.
Wouldn't put it past him.
I would hate it though. He has unfinished business in F1.
"And what does this have to do with Kimi", you ask, and quite rightly.
This was stated by Maurizio Arrivabene, Marlboro's deputy chairman: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...012433,00.html
His comments raise the question of why an apology should be required as Stoner is understood to be suffering from some form of chronic fatigue.
While Stoner, 23, was away Marlboro controversially instructed Ducati to make a huge offer -- far in excess of Stoner's multi-million-dollar salary -- to Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo, who ultimately decided to stay at Yamaha.
Arrivabene also controls sponsorship of the Ferrari Formula One team and gave the go-ahead for Kimi Raikkonen to be paid out for his 2010 contract this week so Fernando Alonso could replace him alongside Felipe Massa next season.
This does show who really holds the purse strings at both Ducatti and Ferrari, and when you hold the purse strings, you've got them by the balls.
And if you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
This.. I would love nothing better then for this to happen...Quote:
