    Kimi's future - No racing in 2010?

    where will he go, waht will he do

    1. I hope he comes back to McLaren. It would make an excellent team and we would have 2 race winning cars

    2. He might leave F1 altogether. To me this is less likely despite his love affair with rallying. I recall many years back when F1 drivers would (were allowed by their teams to) compete in other racing series and races. Why should it be any different for Kimi. at 29, Kimi is in the peak performance window of an F1 driver and he will likely continue in the top flight successfully both on track and financially if he can.

    3. I hear Renault is courting him with Nokia joining the courtship. I heard he as already refused a $45 mill deal from Renault (which should extinguish any notion of them leaving the sport. soon after this nonsense inquiry from the FIA ceases)

    4. A megadeal with the new incarnation of BMW. They have the team, the cars and with a decent engine the right setup to be a top competitor so, he might take a stab there with some serious cash and well developed chasis.
    you can't argue with results.

    Nokia will not sponsor Renault, they said it loud and clear in the Finnish media. Kimi doesn't want to go anywhere, he has said it time and time again. If he suddenly didn't have a car, I'd imagine Mclaren would be an option, BMW isn't.

    He has said he wants to do F1 next year, not rallying. Rallying is a hobby.

    I think Raikkonen's future is whatever he makes of it. In the 3 races of Massa's abscence he's delivered 3 podiums including a win. Where the hell was that Kimi for the last 12 months or more?

    If he continues to deliver at that rate not only will Ferrari want to keep him but the rest of the grid will be falling over the get him.

    F1 isn't done with Raikkonen yet. Is Raikkonen done with F1? The answer appears to be no.
    Forza Ferrari!!

    Absolutely right!
    Neither I believe F1 is done with Raikkonen yet.
    I hope he manage to stay in my favorite Ferrari!!
