It will not happen he's not the kind of person who can make the sacrifices needed to stay in shape for 2 years while not driving an F1 car every 2nd week.Quote:

I wish him well with this. I hope it reignites some of the feist and passion that he seemed to lose in the last year or so. Good luck Kimi!
You can think Kimi is in the best position to do whatever he wants, but you cn also think that this demonstrates how unmotivated he is in F1.
If someone goes to work and says this, what would you think?
Hey man, I will only work for this guy and I´ll get as much as I ask. If not, bye bye.
That´s the impression I get from the last events. Kimi has put some very clear conditions which have been (supposedly) not met, he gets more money than any other pilot without even having to race and he can go and do some rallying, Le Mans or tree climbing. Yes, the best position one could dream with, but as an F1 fan I´d like to see him more commited to F1 although he has nothing more to demonstrate me. In fact, I´ve always liked him because he is deadly erratic and fast, but this is only my (possibly stupid) opinion.
He had a good career. Now he can relax and party with no worries. I'm happy for him.
He could always pay a visit to Mercedes GP.
And that's what they are saying

Could all have been a publicity stunt by Merc to get Kimi in the hot seat?
I find this hard to believe...
Edit: If this proves true, this is very pathetic on Kimi's manager's part.
That all sounds like Greek to me :(Quote:

It does seem that Kimi only wanted a drive with McLaren which he considered :Raikkonen said last month that, in the wake of being released from his Ferrari contract, his only option to remain in F1 was with McLaren - because he wanted to be guaranteed a top-line grand prix car.
Maybe we can also draw a line from this as to why Bunsen wanted to go to McLaren, probably because he realised that had he remained at Brawn (now Mercedes) he would have had great difficulty keeping up with the McLaren drivers.
well he probably just wants to sit on the sidelines collecting his 45 mil. Seeing how Mercedes has signed Nico and JV there is no top seat left unless Force India does something. He could probably get a ride there anytime.
