I consider Mclaren to have dropped the ball by not quickly reaching for Nico Hulkenberg. His racing pedigree is every bit equal to that of Hamiltons'.

As ever your posts make me laugh!

Mclaren are in no rush.

Besides which, Prima Donnas and people who don't like work are only worth employing when they get results.....or take a massive pay cut.

Steve Robertson said to Mtv3 that the negotiations are ongoing but nothing has been decided. He said there is no deadline and they'll continue as long as it takes... He also confirmed that Kimi is not interested in driving for any other team besides Mclaren.

If true, 80 points and three wins (my modest prediction if he goes to McLaren) means $22,000,000 for the Kimster. With his severance from Ferrari, that's a lot of acquavite.

The Robertsons have been spotted around Woking where they met up with Martin Whitmarsh.

I am stuck in a time warp? :s mokin:

So...with Button likely to join McLaren, does this mean we've seen the final Grand Prix of Kimi Raikkonen?

Mclaren do the right thing and sign Raikkonen pleaasee :(

Things are looking tricky for Kimi but I still think there is room for Kimi in F1. It's strange situation if you get more money when not driving than inside the car. I really hope he stay in F1 and keep rallying as a hobby.

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but why not Kimi at Mercedes GP? Would he not have a good relationship with them from his days at McLaren? If it is indeed Button-Hamilton and McLaren, why not Raikkonen-Rosberg at Mercedes?
