If Red Bull keeps Webber but don’t want to keep on sponsoring Kimi in WRC alleging he crashes out too much, wouldn’t it be a contradiction in terms?

Raikkonen upbeat over rally future
By Giles Wade

Kimi Raikkonen remains upbeat about his future in rallying, despite crashing on his second run through the Rally de Espana shakedown stage on Thursday and damaging his car’s roll cage so badly that he was unable to take part in the event.

“It was just one of those stupid things that happens sometimes: I touched the bank and the car rolled,” said Raikkonen. “It’s the sort of thing that if you’re lucky you get away with it. It’s a pity as I think it was a rally that might have suited us but now we’ll never know. I’m obviously disappointed, but I’ve been around motorsport for long enough to know that disappointments are part of the game; it’s how you deal with them that matters. Now I’m looking forward to our next event and I’m going to concentrate on the future. That’s always more interesting than the past.”

The 30-year-old’s future next year is still not settled, as his principal sponsor Red Bull is unwilling to extend its full backing for another season. Raikkonen has been talking to rival energy drink firm Monster, in connection with the second drive alongside Ken Block in a Ford Fiesta next year, and he has also been approached by Mini.

However, the Finn says that things are still a long way from being settled for next year.

“I’d like to keep on rallying if it’s possible, but we’ve not finalized our plans for next year,” he said. “Of course I have to decide soon, but for the time being there is nothing in place.”
Raikkonen added that he was hoping to have his situation resolved before Rally Great Britain in mid-November but that there was “nothing guaranteed”.

So in Red Bull we have:

• A driver, owner of a very big mouth, making stupid mistakes the whole season
• Another driver whose car breaks down each two races, and when that’s not the case he makes a stupid mistake.
• A team boss and a “driver counsellor” forgetting the most basic lessons they learnt in “team management 101” (criticising drivers in front of the media…), the thing ends up with calls in English speaking countries to boycott the drink the owner of the team produces.
• A team owner putting more millions into the project as the season advances, because they’re at risk of losing both championships. That money has to come from somewhere so they have to cut sponsorship in other sports.

The saddest thing: they have the best car on the grid, by far.

They actually have too many drivers at the moment. They have tree drivers under contract to next year.

i just want him all to my self...your right they have a driver who is out sick with a blood clot problem and he may or may not drive next year, so they have to many drivers at this time.
thanks julia for the laugh.

I think the team are prepared to lose the WDC since they can still aim for WCC. As a team owner, I wouldn't jeopardize the future of the team by asking vettel to play a supporting role for the sake of the WDC title and to support the one who has said he would not support his team mate (in the past) and who threw his own race/chances by himself. If the team asked vettel, I am sure vettel would walk! Team sport or not, it is just wrong to have to ask vettel to help someone who is beyond help himself and who would not even help his teammate before. Sincerely, webber does not deserve any help.

I wonder if martin witmarsh is regreting taking jenson button on now - and with a 3 year contract no less! he's been overshadowed by hamilton more than a couple of times now and he canlt seem to make do with a car that doesn't fit his style. I am sure if Vettel is walking, MW would break jenson's contract in a heartbeat.

bren, I agree with you regarding JB. LH is not even driving well this year & JB is still overshadowed by LH. MW should have got our boy instead. As for Red Bull, seems like they won't win both WDC & WCC. Macca is closing in for WCC & " " is leading the WDC now.
