I was going to say BADoer

Like you say, I don't think Kimi's heart is in it anymore

Kimi should leave F1 imho.

Why? He's driving superbly at the moment!

This is just my opinion ok.

1. He has already won his ONE WDC which he stated as his main goal, only one as he said.
2. If, imo, he was truelly dedicated to F1 he would NOT be racing Rally, he is not dedicated enough to F1 and we all know that. As an example did Schumacher race bike's, risking serious injury or death, while he was a Ferrari driver, NO! How often did/doe's Kimi test, how often did MS test!!!

The only driver imo since MS that even come's close to the desire to win and offer full dedication toward's that goal is Lewis Hamilton.

Competing in races outside of Formula One during a season does not mean that a driver is not truly dedicated to Formula One...

As for your comment about Lewis, he's not really anything like Michael in that respect. I don't think anyone ever will be as dedicated as he was. But if anyone comes close, it's Alonso more than Hamilton.

Very true, back in the golden days of the World Sportscar Championship a lot of F1 drivers used to do both the F1 Championship AND the World Sportscar Championship during the same year.

Hopefully Kimi's Rallying and Bourdais racing at Le Mans will set an example to other F1 drivers to show them there are plenty of other forms of motorsport they can do when they're not at the factory or not racing that week.

I think it is more to do with teams and sponsors not liking it anymore. not so much the drivers not wanting too

Isn't Alguersuari also competing in WSR this year?

You're right, he is.

How often did/doe's Kimi test, how often did MS test!!!

Are you talking about the other sports or Formula 1 here? Because, to be fair, testing is way restricted now compared to MS's days.

I mean F1. Testing has only been banned for this season and Kimi has been with Ferrari for 3 season's now. It is well documented that Kimi would rather party than test throughout the off season, did I really have to explain that?

He did more than the other Ferrari drivers this winter...

i feel a bit sorry for kimi, i personally don't think that his heart is in it any less. i just think that his laid back persona counts against him. i'm yet to see one interview where he looks even the slightest bit bothered about what has just happened. but that is who he is, i think that when he does leave ferrari in the summer he should definately look for a drive elsewhere. it's a shame for him but you can't blame ferrari, they will win titles with a good car and massa and alonso driving for them.

Maybe so, but he isn't enjoying it and is lacking the much needed passion!!!

Haug has admitted that McLaren are in talks with Nico Rosberg.

"Nico is an option. He is a candidate with whom we are talking," Haug told the Associated Press.

"Clearly, a driver like Rosberg is on the list of many teams, including ours," he added.

To me this is too obvious. He is an awesome
Marketing tool. Handsome? Which will come handy with the sponsors, such as BOSS and there own clothing brand in which they are launching!! Also, the huge German based fans and also he would help sell more Mercs!! Unlike Piquet in which he was used for
Marketing . Nico is very impressive and has a brilliant tallent!

Not sure I am happy with Rosberg to McLaren because he may just be made a scape goat like Heikii.
