there's logic from Dani's sideJulia wrote:why do you think that? I dont follow the logic?
my logic would say that they where planning to have Kimi and sordo in the junior team? so Sordo going to Ford?
definitely a logic from Dani's side... his future in citroen has a big "we are never going to let you win" in the contract.... so a change could be good for him.Lunna wrote:there's logic from Dani's sideJulia wrote:why do you think that? I dont follow the logic?

Ogier is Citroen's next best thing, so maybe Dani hopes that he will have more chances to shine in Ford
Actually it could affect Kimi's situation, there is strong rumours that Citroen will only have 3 cars ready for next year. Petter has already admitted that he will properly not be getting a car from them next year, so if they really want Sordo then perhaps there wouldn't be a car for Kimi.Julia wrote:definitely a logic from Dani's side... his future in citroen has a big "we are never going to let you win" in the contract.... so a change could be good for him.Lunna wrote:there's logic from Dani's sideJulia wrote:why do you think that?

Yeah, that's quite a bit on Kimi. Then again, who can stop mentioning Kimi when they talk about Spa-Francorchamps?realms wrote:Redbull remembers Kimi quite a bit in their Belgium race preview ....

I am going to miss Kimi at Spa this weekend, and the BBC will properly do their best not to mention him.SpaMaster wrote:Yeah, that's quite a bit on Kimi.

I think this may take until the end of the year to finalize the plans.SpaMaster wrote:Boudica: Who cares if BBC mention him or not? This is SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS we are talking about. Kimi need no mentioning there, the circuit and the fans there know it. I hope somebody puts up a banner "Where's my King?" on behalf of the circuit.
Yeah, I am also not sure about what his plans are for next year. The best guess would be not to guess.
Is there a point in having a Junior team if they can only have 3 cars ready? If that's the case, they may not even have a Junior team next year.Boudica wrote:Actually it could affect Kimi's situation, there is strong rumours that Citroen will only have 3 cars ready for next year.

This is his oppinion abou Kimi. I think it's interesting.
The translation is mine so sorry in advance
How inaccessible Raikkonen is, is he behaving like a star?
- Turán Frigyes : In the rally world nobody is inaccessible. It was interesting that even though these boys are incredibly big stars they do not act like that, they are not isolated from each other. During the test, for example, we talked a lot to Hirvonen, Latvalala and Block, we almost had the common test track with the Ford guys and with Räikkönen. We talked a little and we found him sympathetic. That stardom, the Iceman image, I think is mostly generated by the media, it does not necessarily arises from him. It is a great experience to compete with these stars or even overtake them.
The media obviously is incredibly interested in Raikkonen because after all he is a big star - How does he handle it?
- Turán Frigyes : In Bulgaria I had a “double” image about Räikkönen. It is stunning how the media surrounds this man: special /separate TV crews are following him, at departure and at arrival they push their cameras at his face from 15-20 cm. This seems to disturb him, and probably that’s why he was called Iceman, he does not like this kind of excessive, almost intrusive interest. Gabi and I were lucky to meet him behind the scenes. He was absolutely informal and friendly, he was asking questions with sincere interest and yes, he was even smiling! In his private life, I think he is a nice and cool man.

cuz we even don't know how many Citroen/Ford/Skoda's cars would be there next seasongoogle says "If I want to drive, no problem would have been. But the offers me nothing has really irritated that I would need to commit immediately. Therefore I have decided to now go only once to rally."Räikkönen: Hätte ich weiterfahren wollen, wäre das kein Problem gewesen. Aber von den Angeboten hat mich nichts wirklich so gereizt, dass ich sofort zusagen hätte müssen. Daher habe ich mich entschieden, jetzt erst mal Rallye zu fahren.
