Now that is irony

[JamesD89]

Even Alonso cruises round nowadays, only switching it on at circuits where he has a sniff of a podium. Kimi looks to be lacking in motivation most of the time, what makes Renault think they'll get the best out him when he's driving a back markers car?

more a piquet if ur referring to his crash?

but damn he looked happy there, that just unsettles me, hes gotta stay in f1.

Anyway how long are u going to make badoer jokes?

Well before Badoer we had Piquet to pick on so my guess would be...until we find someone just as bad to laugh at.

You would be right there Amanda.

Another rumor...


Renault courting Raikkonen and Nokia for 2010?

Buzz Up!

Renault is understood to have held discussions with 2007 F1 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen regarding a potential switch to the French outfit next year – in a move that could at the same time earn the Régie a title sponsorship deal with mobile ‘phone company Nokia.

Rumours circulating in France suggest that Raikkonen – who looks set to be out of a drive at Ferrari in 2010 in favour of current Renault incumbent Fernando Alonso, should the Scuderia manage to successfully negotiate the Finn’s €25 million pay-off for terminating his existing contract a year early – could do what would be effectively a straight swap with his fellow former title-winner.

However, it is believed that the 29-year-old has already refused an offer of a €45 million, multi-year agreement – but it is also claimed that Nokia might join the Enstone-based operation regardless. Renault is seeking a new chief backer after Dutch banking organisation ING announced earlier this year that it will not be renewing its deal with the team.

Nokia – which is also Finnish – last appeared in the top flight when it sponsored Tyrrell back in 1995, with a home-grown driver on-board in the shape of Raikkonen’s countryman Mika Salo.

There remain whispers inside the F1 paddock that Alonso could be announced as a Ferrari driver in 2010 during the weekend of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in just over a week’s time.

With that though, so many rumors are flying around. It's just a hype for the season and to get us hooked for next season. Plus how much would Nokia have to spend to be able to get that title sponsor?

Raikkonen once lost his ways of F1 and hated it, in the McLaren period. DC's last season with them i think it was? Hideous car and horrible season. He hated everything, the only time he has been happy is in 2007. Which is understandable. Schumacher lost the will to race after the new Spaniard came in and beat him twice? So i can see Alonso at Ferrari. Plus with speculation of them wanting to leave because of these 'Speculations' I have no doubt Briatorre could sell up, sell Alonso for say $24 Mill for the remainder of the season to replace Massa then ump into Raikkonen's seat. That's pretty realistic.

Nokia!!
Brill

What rubbish. That story is merely recycled. Back in 2005-6 there was rumours that Raikkonen was going to Renault alongside Alonso... and guess what... Nokia were said to be the new title sponsor.

You can see where these sites make their money.

the lack of actual journalism that makes it into the mainstream press's reportage of F1 is a joke. down with newspapers!

Raikkonen, Raikkonen, I want to ride my Raik-on-en, I want to ride my Raik, I want to ride my Raik-on-en, I want to ride it where I like.

Are you kidding me?

Well you can see how bored they must have been that day. Going through old case files. As i say, most of this is hype! I just check on here daily for the new news about F1. As it's the best source really. Everyone else just

E.g. Like for instance with the Fisichella story.

Must have done a line of coke
