THIS IS HOW KIMI'S PERSONAL ASSISTANT COMMENTS ON THE MERCEDES-RUMOUR

5.7.2010 klo 23.49

Kimi has been rumoured to go to several F1-teams next season. According to the latest rumour Norbert Haug would already had been to see Räikkönen in Switzerland.

According to tomorrownewsf1.com Haug is courting Kimi to replace Michael Schumacher.

- The situation is the same as before. We drive this rally season in peace and look after that. There's a lot of rumours coming from each direction, Riku Kuvaja told.

Has Haug visited Kimi in Switzerland like the French page claims?

- A lot of rumours are circulating. I will not comment on the matter.

Read more in Tuesday's paper about Kimi's possible comeback to the royal class in motorsport.

IL

did anybody else notice that bolded part:
We drive this rally season in peace and look after that.

That seems to be Kuvajas translation of Kimis "I'm in no hurry to decide" ?
....so we can wait for a announcement same time as last year ie a couple weeks before Christmas, just 5 more months to speculate before we get the right answer from the man himself, Nice!?

Remember how Riku Kuvaja said one day before it was announced that Kimi goes to WRC that he has no idea of Kimi's plans.

What a job Kuvaja has, he knows everything but has to make sure he doesn't let out any information - any mindreaders here on this forum ?

If so, please check what is going on in Kuvaja's mind :lol:
To be changed soon - rko281, where are you??? LOL

ooh, I already forgotten that one... but it seems that we are going to here the phrase "Nothing is decided yet , now we concentrate on rallying" a lot more often in the coming months/weeks...

JJ Lehto must drove with broken chassis by Verstappen (this was one of reason why I am never liked Schumi, Briatore and Verstappen)

The chassis is not damaged. It's repaired. Vettel has been using a similarly repaired chassis that Webber dropped off earlier during testing.
Curious case of Kimi Raikkonen..
