2011-12 Silly Season
Re: 2011-12 Silly Season
Loads of names being knocked around at Renault.

Raikkonen, Grosjean, Senna, Petrov, Sutil and Kovalainen. If Kovalainen is being considered you have to assume Glock is as well. Even d'Ambrosio was mentioned by Boullier but I think that was to try and spark interest from other teams as Boullier manages d'Ambrosio.

I really hope Bruno gets a chance in a half decent car for a full season.

Did she precise if she was talking about a driving seat or a reserve role?
Re: 2011-12 Silly Season
I think Boullier is only fooling around with the media. There is no point in talking to so many drivers. He has to be serious with a couple of guys & keep his cards close. My bet will be Grosjean as he has been a Renault Reserve for a long time & also a GP2 Champ. Sutil can be a good choice as he has been consistently driving for Force India and has never been out of action.donald29 wrote:Loads of names being knocked around at Renault.

There is no chance for Kimi,Senna or Kavalainen. Tony Fernandez told the media that he will do his max to keep Kovalainen in the team & will not let him go.
Re: 2011-12 Silly Season
Peter Windsor just tweeted that some "serious people" are saying Raikkonen is shortly to be confirmed at Lotus Renault...
Re: 2011-12 Silly Season
Looking forward to this from the season review!

Just wait for the official end of season F1 DVD. An incredible, never before seen, bit of footage of [Helmut] Marko tearing Jaime [Alguersuari] apart. Just amazing. It's from Korea. To be honest it absolutely shocked me. [It was for holding Vettel up in practice], despite the fact that it was Vettel's mistake that allowed him to fall back behind.

Re: 2011-12 Silly Season
Raikkonen expected to be announced with Lotus in 30 minutes at a Nokia event in London.

If nothing happens, I'm going to get very, very annoyed with Mr Allen
Let's see if something is announced and what it is. It's pretty late. When Kimi retired from F1 it was announced this late (by Turun Sanomat) and when he signed with Citroën it was announced about 7 in the morning. I don't remember drivers being announced this late, but then, McLaren announced Button's re-signing when all journalists were flying on their way to Japan (or was it Korea) so...

Thanks Mar
Ok where's the announcement? I am so nervous I hope JA is not playing with us this time.
