The Return Of Kimi Räikkönen... - Page 12

JeremySmith · 15 Nov 2011, 01:30 (Ref:2986495)

I would dump anyone that is prepared to take my car and drive it into the side of another driver..

Take the Kimster as he will do you far more good than bad. Hire The Hulk back along side him, and keep Ruben's as a test/reserve driver...

Ouch! But it was deliberate; needs to be more subtle.

Well, the 'Hulk' didn't do so well the last time he was up against 'Bazzer'.....

Come to think of it, he is also the driver who was banned for four races hitting a marshal or marshals at Monaco under Safety Car conditions, so there may be some sort of irresponsible streak there.

Don't forget his deliberate swiping into Hamilton during Belgian qualifying

No indeed, although I think that's what Jeremy Smith and Marbot were referring to above.

Ok, I wasn't sure if that had been referencing something in Abu Dhabi.

I would have black flagged him for that display, he is a disgrace...

He's always been a bit suspect in his career. Should not have raced any more this season past Belgium, that would have been a proper penalty.

like i said in another thread, maldonado's brainfades are the kind of rubbish f1 needs to be stamping out and removing from the sport, not failed overtaking attempts.

I'd like to see Kimi back, was a big fan of his from his karting days. He was sensational in 05.

But will Williams have a decent car?!

I think you've summed up the situation perfectly.

i1 Supercar Championship: Häkkinen and Räikkönen induced to the same sports car series!

Fierce rumours are circling around Kimi: No contract

17.11.2011 15:40

On Thursday a rumour spread to F1-circles and a bit further than that, according to which the contract between Kimi Räikkönen and Williams-team would have been ready and signed today.

However a source from Williams-team's inner circle denied the contract to MTV3.

- The rumour is not true. Basically the situation is the same as it was during Abu Dhabi weekend, the source says.

There are still some open matters between the parties they are now negotiating about.

- Things could change in six hours or ten days. At the moment the situation around the matter is hectic, both parties negotiate tightly, the source continued.

I'd love to see Mika and Kimi in the same championship - my two favourite drivers of the last 15 years - but there's something about that website that makes me wary. Have a look at the other stories there. There's one about Kubica having possibly lost the thumb from his other hand. Really? Do you think no-one else would have mentioned that small detail? Other stories are way out of date.

**Bononi** · 18 Nov 2011, 12:58 (Ref:2988230)

That's why I only believe it when I see it happening.

Marbot · 18 Nov 2011, 13:08 (Ref:2988231)

I hope it does. Kimi's spent a little time sharpening up his reflexes, and should be more than ready to take on the challenge of getting Williams back where they belong.

Marbot · 18 Nov 2011, 13:51 (Ref:2988249)

And it looks like things could be about to get a whole lot tougher for the Williams team.

Sponsorship in jeopardy?

Venezuelan Congressman, Carlos Ramos:

"As you may be aware, according to Venezuela's legislation, expenditure of the sort has to be approved by Congress. You may also be aware that our Congress has granted no approval to the sponsorship contract between Williams F1 and PDVSA."

If nothing else, it will at least free up another seat.

Wonder of this is anything to do with Adam Parr announcing a sponsorship deal that was effectively already in place!! Bizarrely he is already a Director of the business in question! (see J. Saward's blog for more on this, I can't be bothered to do a link.)

Is the team trying to create ANY positive Commercial spin before the poo hits the wind tunnel!!!
