What happen to the more "realistic" "back to F1" theories which I categorizing to the 1% chance of never say never/ crazy Formula 1:
That Scumacher would call it a day or the one Kulta seem to put his cents on that Mark would call it a day after winning the WDC? ...Or even the musical chair version where Massa moves to whatever team, Mark decides to become the perfect no2 to Alonso in Ferrari and Kimi and Seb are driving for RB.

I so need my morningcoffee .... :blink:
:lol: I just grabbed mine as I read your gathering about the speculations ..well, this is the speculation thread , thank god. Someone should make a book about the wildest speculations in F1.

''hmm'' it has gone eerily quiet (in the media) regarding kimi this past week, hasn't it? the only thing that kimi is being talked about again is Kubica's comment... it's looking more and more like kimi would be spending the next year making kimi/jenni babies :p
Off-Topic: show
reminds me of the cute baby pic of kimi...makes u wanna :hug: that cutie patootie

then why would RB be upset at kimi? if they r neg for F1 seat, they would not be showing they r upset with kimi... i dunno just my 2 cents it is not going well for kimi on all fronts
So that Mark Webber doesnt come to know about the behind the doors talks and it should in no ways affect the current campaign in F1. :n
Luie, you took the words out of my mouth :lol:

@Brenda, I'm thinking that whatever contract Kimi is negotiating has been negotiated for a long time and it's only a question of getting the small details sorted out and the names on the papers....

Looks pretty near the "truth" Julia
They must be pretty peeved that stubborn Kimi just hates to be pushed into corners. Sending extra strong positive vibes his way. He will go where he really wants to be I am sure of it ....just wait till the fog lifts :O

but as long as Kulta isn't starting to write doome day predictions again or Kimi starting to look too desperate in the interweaves.

Nicole,

What do you think about the next topic...

Everyone writes down what he thinks what is going to happen with Kimi...everyone has one chance...

We keep that in one topic...and when Kimi decide and it's official than we'll give a special present for that person...

just a thought but it's fun...

Same Story and looks like a different version
WRC / Raikkonen loses sponsor in 2011 with Block?

Written by C. Pilia Tuesday, October 19, 2010 21:47

It is already over the adventure of Kimi Raikkonen in the World Rally Championship? At least with the junior team of the Citroen is (or at least until the discovery of new funds), because the marriage sealed last winter between Iceman and Red Bull appears to have ended after just a season spent on the C4 WRC.

The management of the former Ferrari driver has met in recent weeks with the Red Bull in order to seek agreement between the parties - focusing on the experience and the renewed live TV coverage to every rally - including the 2011 championship, but without reach a contract renewal. Olivier Quesnel, great chief of Racing Citroen, it is still
possible on a seat in one of the DS3 available, provided that it brings the budget. "I'm sure" - shows - "who will do their utmost to stay in the rallies even without Red Bull. If the budget we will line up, but honestly it is not fast enough, even if his name is Kimi Raikkonen."

Ruled out a return to F1 with Renault, as well as the proposal made by the Mini - not compatible with what is required by Raikkonen, that a full season or so - you will need to work on a port to the Monster World Rally Team. The team set up around Ken Block would most likely double, fielding two cars around the league, and among the candidates check the name again to Chris Atkinson, Subaru out of retirement in late 2008.

So its gonna be a mix of Ravishing Black and White for Kimi Raikkonen this season

OLD NEWS sorry :lol:

But i'm not that worried... Come on the only reason that Kimi got so many coverage in the beginning of the season was because he's/was an F1 hero... Everyone wanted to known what he was going to do there so that made a lot (even no Kimi fans) looked to his performances....

But after (for the most of the autosport fans) some quite mediocre rallies of Kimi there are only really kimi fans following him...

I'm sure Kimi can't stay that long in WRC except if he pays the season himself... even for sponsors Kimi is not that attractive in WRC... and please don't be upset with what I say...it's the way it is...

Sponsors are interested in heroes who drives for Championships...
