Maybe he'll return to Sauber, with Piquet

[scotty]

I have no problem seeing KR move to another team - he's done it before.

I was getting at how he's treated at Ferrari and the impression he's given over the past couple of years that he's enjoyed that style of management, rather than all the corporate stuff at McLaren, for example... so unless another team is likely to give him such a level of freedom i can't see it happening (over him just leaving F1), and i can't see that many teams that would be willing to do that, not teams that a recent WDC should be considering anyway. Regardless, i maintain that he's not leaving and Alonso isn't joining Ferrari next season.

What I would like to see is a Manor lineup of Anthony Davidson and Adam Kahn. What legends those two are. The latter more so

If only that were likely! Thinking about it, there's actually several teams who don't... 'manage' the drivers like they do at McLaren, i was wrong there. Brawn could be another possibility if RB retires i guess.

What's wrong with Davidson?

He got beaten by Sato when they were team mates. Takuma Sato.

Yep that is true Scotty. And despite my Avatar and sig, which is starting to annoy me lol, Davidson really annoyed me when he commentated Hungary 2006. "YES YES YES, Martin Brundle what have you done i cant believe i was the one commentating etc"

You wanna make love to James Allen.

[yamashek]

If Nico is heading to Mclaren, could we see Kimi going to Williams? Or is it not right to mix Kimi with Williams? I don't know ...

Either way, Kimi to RedBull would suit Kimi's "chillax" attitude... but that raises the question... Kimi to replace Webber or Vettel? So I think Kimi in to RedBull is quite hard

[Jabberwocky]

I don't think Nico would go to Mclaren with Lewis there

what are you on about?

[*]'FERRARI TO PAY-OFF RAIKKONEN'
Friday 14th August 2009


Ferrari are reportedly set to dump Kimi Raikkonen at the end of this season, offering the Finn a massive pay-off to step aside for Fernando Alonso.

Rumours of Raikkonen's pending dismissal began last season when poor results and what appeared to be a lack of motivation on the 2007 World Champion's behalf grabbed headlines.

The speculation grew this year as the Finn competed in his debut World Rally Championship event, even revealing that rallying could be his future line of work when his current Ferrari deal expires at the end of 2010.

According to The Sun, a Formula One insider has revealed that the Scuderia are intent on dumping Raikkonen, offering him a massive pay-off.

'They say the Italian giants have told the 2007 World Champion he can have half the value of his 2010 contract - thought to be worth £25million - to end it one year early,' the tabloid has reported.

Should Raikkonen part ways with Ferrari at the end of the season it would pave the way for Alonso's arrival with the double World Champion believed to already have a contract for 2011.
