Does anybody understand French? Eurosport France has asked Boullier about Räikkönen...

http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... l&prev=_te

EDIT: I found a translation for the Boullier quote in the article on another forum:

"To make a world champion come back is a good way to make people talk about F1. If he’s motivated to drive in F1, motivated to drive for Renault –and NO other team- then he becomes a possible choice. If he doesn’t meet these two conditions, he doesn’t interest us."

but the headline for the article is: " Räikkönen not on Renaults shortlist"

This is exactly what I think also! :O
I'm so with you on this one!!!

...and he needs at least one year more to figure it out. The only thing I hope is that his employer understands that his fans needs more than just 13 rallies in year..... we get withdrawal symptoms for not hearing from him in a couple of weeks - something every second week would bee fine. And at least I am not so picky here. lemans, show-drive in nascar, show-drive in DMT, show-duel on a motorsport event competing i smaller rallies, snowmobile races whatever he is happy to do and we get lots of news, pictures and videos :n

I´m sure Wolfie will serve You later with complete translation but this is what it basically says;

- things from Haug stopping by Kimi only the same stuff You´re allready familiar with
- Riku Kuvaja says that "the situation is like it has been. Let´s drvive the rally-season and look after it. Kuvaja says there´s plenty of rumours from every side"
- When asked if Haug really visited Kimi, he says "there´s lot of rumours. I´not commentating."

That´s all it says..

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

5.7.2010 klo 23.49

Image

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.

(I will buy the paper today)

Methinks so too, Sammy :lol:

When you've got nothing, you've got something pure that no one can take away. As soon as you've got
something, some c***'s gonna come and take it off you.
