So far that has paid off. Kimi ‘s entrance to Sauber has already paid dividends and has had a positive impact for the sponsors.

I am sure this was no surprise to Kimi and is a win win for everyone. Kimi still gets to race, he will get paid very well, Ferrari will develop their new driver.

When I say win win for everyone I mean Kimi will win some races too next year.

Do you really think next year’s Sauber will be a race winner?
