I can't be happy for a while. Of course I will follow his career, but I'll not watch any F1 race on TV. In my eyes this is one step to down.

I am so zoned!! Shouldn't this be out of the Silly Season section now?

WHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Welcome back Kimi!

Sorry for those who wanted him to do more WRC. I think down the line he may. But for now, I have to say I am one happy camper! Flag:## :thumbsup: Flag:##

Nope, they just kept us awake on purpose just to have all us too tired to think properly now when they made the announcement. :zz:

This way, nobody notices the "motivation" statement of Kimi in that press release :lol:

that is awesome, a grid with 6 world champions! but that makes things a bit complicated, what will happen to Kubica? will he get a seat next year? he is going to ferarri in 2013? or may be even in mid season if Massa fails
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.

I guess everyone expected it last night because someone made up the Nokia thing. But it was this morning :p

2 year deal too, I guess that means Kubica is out.

Yes, I just read it on the Finnish media. I'm not happy, but since Kimi is happy, I'll be happy with him! I really wanted him to continue rallying...

The picture is LOVELY!! :drool: :blush:
