A rough translation:
Sutil,Nick and Glock have withdrawn from any negotiations with Renault and Kimi Raikkonen wont be interested in Renault

It says that Petrov "has driven all the German candidates away from Renault" and the reason for that would be that they know how much sponsorship money they would need and that they know the place is going to Petrov.

Sutil, Heidfeld and Glock would have retreated from it a couple of weeks ago.

It says that the other driver would have to bring enough money to pay Kubica's salary which is (will be) bigger than what it is this year.


And the noise Boullier is making about Kimi Räikkönen is just to put pressure on Petrov's sponsors because the negotiations are ongoing.


waiting for Nicole/dracaena to translate :)

The Swiss squad also announced a partnership with Telmex, the Mexican telecommunications giant owned by Carlos Slim.

Kobayashi and Perez at BMW next season - its a young, feisty line up. I like it, and is far more preferable to dull nonentities like Heidfeld and De la Rosa.

Perez is promising, and I think he'll be competitive, and will certainly help to boost F1's profile in Mexico.

But it kind of reminds me of the time back in 2001 when Sauber had two young rookie drivers: Kimi and Nick.

I am so happy about Sergio Perez its a long time since a Mexican drive in a F1 season, i hope Telmex can invest a lot of money in Sauber to give him a better can than this year. !yahoo:

Maybe this can open the return of the F1 to Mexico. :pray:

But Don´t forget i am a Team man so Forza Ferrari Forever. :Off topic:

Bye Bye Invisible nick!!!!!
From next year onwards despite being invisible for his whole F1 career....he will truly disappear.

Reno: read article above......Nick would be the last teammate Kubica would want, and virtually no sponsors...
FI: According to really well known sources I know (believe it or not upto you) the drivers are gonna be Sutil and Di Resta. Even Liuzzi has been told of his Fate.

Van der Garde's agent says he has 2 real options for an F1 raceseat in 2011, and he says it's not HRT, so that makes it realistic to be Lotus and Virgin. He also says he has 2 test contract options: Williams and Force India... He just needs to money...

Räikkönen puts a stop to Renault's milking
http://www.f1zone.net/viewtopic.php?f=1 ... 32#p219232
I am very disappointed in the way they have used my name in order to promote their own marketing. I have not at any stage considered seriously driving for Renault and I can assure you that I'm 100% sure that I will not drive in Renault next year, Räikkönen declares in his straightforward way.
I guess Renault will keep Vitaly petrov for another year.
