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

[sammyosammy]

I visited today in an official Citroen garage. There was a big poster on the wall where is Kimi and WRC C4. It was really nice. There was no RedBull on the poster (except in Kimi's clothes). The boss thouhgt that Kimi will not go back to F1 and he also wondered why it took so long time before any Kimi material was available.

Last fifteen minutes I`ve been writing a reply to this and deleting it.

Seems to be your trademark. Wasn´t it you who wrote at the autosport forum that a friend of you was out with Kimi and he got the impression that Kimi won´t come back next year? It was already some time ago! Why did you delete your post? I mean I (and I supposte many others) would believe your words as you´re not an attention seeker

(blushed) Yes, it was me. Deleted it cause...when I asked him straight is he coming back or no..? He told me when, where and how the conversation took place. Liked to share it but just can´t. Feel like a b..ch telling this much.

Kimi and Brawn according to someone wanted to work together, that's why negotiations with Mercedes was going on last year.

Does Raikkonen have a Mercedes future?

Two things to emerge over the British GP weekend could be inter-linked. The first was triple world champion Jackie Stewart saying he thinks that Michael Schumacher will retire again at the end of the year. And the second was Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug confirming that he recently paid a visit to Kimi Raikkonen.

Stewart, talking to a German newspaper, said: "The first question should be: will Michael do another year? I believe he will stop after the season."

The story about Haug's visit to Raikkonen, with whom he enjoyed a working relationship when Kimi drove for McLaren-Mercedes between 2002-6, was first printed by a Finnish newspaper but was confirmed to a TV station by Haug over the British GP weekend.

"I have been in contact with Kimi as a friend," Haug claimed. "Kimi will make a decision for himself but I do hope he comes back because it would be a good thing for F1."

Raikkonen was dropped by Ferrari in favour of Fernando Alonso and now drives for the Citroen Junior Team in the World Rally Championship. When he left F1 he said he had an open mind about a return but would only drive for a top line team.

Schumacher's performance level could well be raising concerns at Mercedes. While team mate Nico Rosberg scored his third podium of the season at Silverstone, Schumacher finished ninth after making a mistake on his 'out' lap following his pit stop and was a few tenths shy of his team mate's pace all weekend.. After 10 of the season's 19 races, Rosberg has scored 90 points and Schumacher, 36.

"After my pit stop I pushed hard to get in front of Barrichello but I made a mistake in a slow corner, went wide into the dust and that cost me places, not only to Rubens but also to Kobayashi," the seven times champion admitted.

Schumacher does not have the appearance of a man who wants to stop again, but admitted that he needs to raise his game.

"I hope I can improve my game for Hockenheim," he said. "I haven't yet got in a result that I am looking for but I'm patient, I know how things can turn around and I'ms still very much enjoying everything I am doing, so let's just take time and these things will come. I'm willing to try and up my game and I'm confident still."

Ecclestone agrees with Stewart

Not only does Sir Jackie Stewart believe that Michael Schumacher could retire for a second time at the end of the current 2010 Formula One championship season, so does F~0~M boss Bernie Ecclestone.

Although Ecclestone was one of the seven time world champions staunchest supporters when the news broke that he was coming back to the series, he can now see how he is faring in comparison to his younger compatriot, Nico Rosberg, and states that he doubts if Schumacher will want to stay in the sport if, for whatever reason, he can’t perform the way he wants to.

Schumacher is currently ninth in the drivers’ standings on 36 points in comparison to his teammate, Nico Rosberg who is sixth on 90 points at the halfway mark in the championship.
