I think the posts that are not related to the topic of the thread disappeared and rightly so. Anyway, I find it very strange that some people cannot discuss things without trying to insult people who disagree with them.Quote:

About the posts I have no idea what happened...
I personally find those rumours, which are linking Kimi to Brawn, interesting. Button vs Räikkönen - hmm, could create a few interesting discussions on the forum since both drivers are quite highly rated. ;)
Unluckily, Ruben constantly outperforms Jenson post mid season break, there is not enough reason for Ruben get pensioned off.
If the Ferrari team are trying to get Kimi to leave then it really just illustrates how reactionary the team is. They would want to hire Alonso - a sound move - yet retain Massa?
Their ability to pick a replacement for Mass since his accident is a typical Ferrari melodrama that I had thought been erradicated - there was a time when Ferrari pitstops were the embodiment of Peter Ustinov's "Grand Prix"!
And who can forget the shambles during the days of Ivan Capelli - he first met his race engineer on the plane to Kyalami!
Neither Schumacher, Badoer, Gene [he should resign and give the "universal salute" to the Scuderia] or Fischella is a move that looks forward to the future.
Gary Anderson made a sound suggestion just prior to the Valencia weekend. But Ferrari are not Red Bull so staid and conservative it is.......
He rightly pointed out that Hulkenberg is the best up and coming driver, and is set to win the GP2 championship in his first year - beating a rather erratic Grosjean before his move to f1.
Why not invite Hulkenberg to drive for the rest of the year, it would give him f1 experience alongside one the best drivers in the world - and Alguersari showed it can be done, make a deal with Williams to supply Ferrari engines for no or low nominal cost for three years and then lend him out to Williams for a year while he learns from a great team.
Great suggestion - no chance.
I agree with the thought that Kimi seeing how they still bow to Schumacher, love Massa and pine for Alonso, should just drive for Kimi and stick it to everyone as he did at Spa.
Then he should leave and join Mclaren - getting the millions from Ferrari that they will be forced to pay him as well. They would take him before any other on the grid and it is a very different team that Whitmarsh is creating.
If it turns out that Ferrari are trying to engineer a Raikonnen exit then the team's ethics are no better than their founders' where it came to being devious and cowardly towards their drivers.
That is also not the way it often works out. Other factors play significant roles too.Quote:

From the Kimi interview: a second, then its over.
Hence the relaxed ice cream [vanilla?] and coke result when he did not make it out of Q3 this year :-]
I think Raikonnen would fit in well at Mclaren - better than before.
The change that has been noticed by f1 journalists and even the interviews given by Whitmarsh in his approach and the "official" forgiveness by Bernie a few races ago when he publicly joined Lewis at a press gathering at the Mclaren motor home declares that it is a clean slate.
And Hamilton has demonstrated his ability to take care of Alonso and Raikonnen knows the Massa weakness.
Mclaren might even find their next "dream team": Prost-Lauda now Hamilton-Raikonnen.
It is fun to speculate. One thing we can all rely on is that it would probably be the calmest team of drivers and the quietest in the whole paddock!!
