I guess we just have to hope that he doesn't find Nascar as interesting as WRC
All fingers and toes crossed.
I'm still hoping Kaj will hit him in the head to make him come back to planet Earth.

Is it ever?
Another year to enjoy the speculation thread, just when it looked it all was settled.

Odds say: provably.

BTW guys, I want to share something with you. Nelson Piquet Jr. said if Kimi goes to Nascar he will be really welcome there. He thinks Kimi's personality fits the style of Nascar and he will help Kimi to adapt there.
"If he is really coming to Truck Series I will introduce him to the people of the series and I will help him with everything for him to adapt to the USA. He is a great champion, a special driver. He has an unique and authentic personality, he has this human way of dealing with things that Nascar fans like it. He has a lot to give to Nascar and vice versa. It would be great if happens", Nelsinho.
The original link (in Portuguese) is here:

But I translated this sentence because it summarizes the whole article.

Didn't Piquet Jr have a dog called Kimi?

I wonder if Kubica's accident has given Kimi second thoughts about rallying

Yes, Kimi is Finn and he knows what Rally is. As I told after Rally Bulgaria, in my mind Kimi is the second best Finnish rally driver on tarmac after Henry Toivonen.

That would be Tommi Mäkinen.
