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

[Maria d]

she only brings in the cash, not a very good racer, there was a female racer around the same time named katherine legg, she at least won races but she didnt get a shot, i think she would have done better.

[Wolfie]

if her was a him and his name was dan no one would know who he would be.all hype and no talent ....sets female drivers back 10 years.. ..what a joke...

But she is goodlooking yet it's a shame if she represents female drivers who would be better racers...

Oh no, hope Kimi doesn't go to Nascar

The hours are impossible (sorry, you and redstorm have to put up with the European schedule) and it would be a drag to wake up in the middle of the night

I think I just fell in love with Maria d ahhhhhhh! Exactly. She is a PriMaddona that got full of herself. She's toast and last I checked that can't turn back into bread.... Indy needs the money, but at a certain point you have to draw a line. Selling your soul to queen tits doesn't justify the means. She has brought the whole team down by her presence and any man would have been let go for that long ago. The real driver in the team, Tony Kannan, bit his tongue for WAY longer than I would have. This year he is taking his shots at her. We will see if it lights a fire under her rear.

thank you red, i love racing, but i will not support a racer just because she is female....she is like killing all future females , I DONT WANT HER SETING THE STANDARDS FOR FEMALE RACERS....they need to be judged on the talent not the looks...kyle bush is ugly,but boy can he race.

The article of Auto Sprint

FromTaniaS:

MAREK NAWARECKI (Citroen PR) - It's a Global Challenge
Even from the media point of view – well, above all from that – Kimi Raikkonen makes himself conspicuous. So, we asked to a PR what is the impact on the media of such a character.

- Does it work more one like Loeb or like Raikkonen?
“Kimi has a large following around the world – explains Marek Nawarecki. Loeb too. But the difference is that Raikkonen attracts new people, not necessarily informed about rally, so he “fishes” in a new kind of audience. That is very good for this sport. On the contrary, Loeb attracts the fans who already follow the rallies.”

- What does it mean to have a character like Raikkonen in a team like Citroen?
“Firstly I have to say that it’s a great honour for us the fact he chose us, above all if we consider that he came from two myths of the races like McLaren and Ferrari. Then, we like a lot the kind of challenge that he’s facing. His adventure is a nice story, mainly for the sport. Also because none of the F1 drivers has ever competed in rally at this level, the highest level, and in this total way, that is to say applying himself in an exclusive way."

And you ladies get Kimi, why do I feel shorted?

[Maria d]

kimi is nice to look at and he CAN drive.

[redstorm]

My point exactly. Danica can't drive, and she's not even anything special to look at frankly..... We men aren't all pigs, attitude counts alot.

I read somewhere that while she keeps on getting photographed in bikinis etc, she wonders why others can't see her like just one of the guys....

That's right. I have a young daughter and Danica will be an example of what NOT to do when you grow up. Look up Sarah Fisher. She is a great story, has her OWN team, yes can't afford to run every race, but does it on her talent NOT her cheast. I wish her all the best.

Almost makes me think he wasted a year. Should have got a jump on S2000. Another great article though. You are all great!

He wanted to compare himself to the best drivers, which this year means to drive a wrc car. Remember, his original plan was staying one more year in F1. It would have been probably easier too.

True, and I dont think that when he signed that S2000 was set to take over as top car.
