Speculation-thread: Will Kimi be in WRC or F1 next season?

[SpaMaster]

@ Spamaster : I really mean this...Are here some people who wanna join me on that long trip?

If he comes back to F1 then we should arrange that meet up we would have liked to organise for this year. Spa, that is!!!

Dheeban, what are your plans for next year?

Hi Kinga,

If Kimi comes back to F1, I would definitely be at Spa-Francorchamps.

If he stays in WRC, I would visit Rally Mexico. I would like to visit Rally Finland, but I have not made up my mind about it yet.

[Claudie_Schnaudie]

Yeah I regret that I´ve never gone to a Spa GP

I will deffo go to the german rally next year (no matter whether Kimi still drives at rally or not). Doubt that I´ll go to the finish one as there are way toooo many Kimifans and one doesn´t have the chance to get to see him!

Well having read all your interesting comments I shall add what I think. At this present moment in time I feel pretty sick worrying where Kimi will end up. I still feel its contractual things that are once again holding up the process, combine that with Kimi's stubborness and its I guess pretty hot out there. I know he will stick to his guns and do what he wants to do. We can help by as I said before sending some positive vibes his way. Time will tell................For me i am sticking by what i said in Ludy's birthday week articles for Kimi by learning to trust what im told. So "all will be well".

I am with you 110%!!! At least you have a healthy dose of reality

@Wolfie
In the autosport article, it said that Kimi found out in France that his sponsorship was not going to renewed. Of course that would have made him so p****d off so what's the point of restarting after he knew that he probably won't even have any place to drive next year.

Sorry for going on about this Sleenster

If that was the case then why did Kimi give his all during the endseason when he knew he was being sacked

Like Linda said, positive vibes to our boy

And I'm not concerned at all for some reason

Getting sacked with 17 million as a going away gift I think is different from your sponsor hanging you out to dry. And if he had restarted on Sunday and crashed out then everyone would have been saying that it was such an idiotic decision to restart.

Sleenster, it's Saturday night so no news, no enthusiasm to fight over it

But from the Finnish forum, with the text:

Waiting in the F1-forum for news about Kimi's comeback to F1

On the flight back home from Rally France I sat next to a co-driver (I. Thomas) for car number 48 (D. Weston). We had a nice chat on the flight, I told him Kimi decided not to restart on Sunday to preserve the car for the next rallys. He said he wish they had done the same thing because their car hit a tree on stage 18 and the car was too damaged to continue so that was the end of their rally... I totally understand Kimi's decision.

[Wolfie]

Wow, interesting news YiNing, thank you

Must have been an interesting flight!

I try to understand Kimi but it's just so uncharacteristic of him.

Yeah, it was an interesting flight. Saw quite a few drivers/co-drivers on the same flight.

When Kimi first went off on stage 10 he already lost about 30 minutes, but he still try to continue... we saw him briefly at the mid-day service (after stage 12)... my feeling was he still want to fight through the field.... I then went to Stage 16 waited for hours but Kimi never came... later in the evening when I went back to hotel to find out that Kimi went off again on stage 15 and he decided not to continue next day. At first I was disappointed, then I realized if he want to continue he will need to start from the back of the field, the road condition will be completely hopeless with 50-60 cars bring in mud on the road... and since he's lost so much time there was no hope of fighting for any good position. If he continued it would be like driving around without any goal/purpose, and there was always the risk that he may damage his car....

All this speculation about Kimi's future and the ugly Renault-thing surprised me in one way. I always thought that the Kubica-fans were the coolest fan-group on earth but due to the Renault-saga some of them have shown a less cool side of them

They were the funniest bunch on forums earlier, anyone else noticed this?

So any more posting from the mysterious guy from the finnish forum?

Maybe he indeed was a troll.....

At times like these it's so easy to come and say 'something' as a besserwisser, people want to believe but don't know if they should or not. I'm waiting for real news and have fun while waiting

[Claudie_Schnaudie]

It has been boring the last few days...no new speculation
