agree valve
I'll be happy if the deal is done,
because that team of Lewis and kimi will be incredibly tough to beat next year.
I still think that Hamilton will have the slighter upper hand, but he has proved before that he is unfazed by who drives the other car and that attitude seems to serve him well. Kimi will be back where he belongs and with a teammate that can match him, without the pressure of being the team leader, testing or other obligations. All he has to do is drive the thing.
I can picture it now :D
Hamilton: he was in the way :fasttalk:
Kimi: yeah whatever (Taking a stroll to the freezer) :s mokin:
Kimi, I'm put off with your apparent attitude about going to a team like Toyota, saying something to the effect that you don't want to drive a slow car.
What, do you lack confidence in making a car quicker? The current 'Yoter has proven time and again that it is a Q3 car, and has even found its way to the front row several times as well as a pair of 2nd place finishes.
So, there's only two teams you would drive for? That's being an elitist. You clearly don't care about working hard and persevering, challenging yourself to rise above and perhaps shock the world, doing something few drivers could do (win in three different teams) and perhaps ensure your legacy. You want a winning car just handed to you.
I hope someone else gets the other McLaren seat.
why would a WDC like Kimi choose something other than the best alternative :?: ...That was what Alonso did when he went to Mclaren in 2007 and now with Ferrari in 2010Quote:

Kimi has been my favorite driver, since he was in F1. But I totally agree with you on this one. Now I think I understand why Ferrari wanted to ditch him.Quote:

In a team like Toyota he would have had to prove himself - I am beginning to think there is some reality to the talk of Kimi being only good because he has always been in the best machinery throughout his career.
We shall see.
That's not the issue. The issue is "either McLaren or nothing". That attitude is bull, makes you think the man has done what he came for, he was champion - he made a few hundred million dollars and now just doesn't give a . My way or the highway attitude.Quote:
