alonso11 has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Häkkinen to Toro Rosso?
Probably a Finn member should be posting this (or not) because it was in a Finni newspaper (or should i say tabloid?) called Turun Sanomat, but ive just read the translated version and allegedly Mika is seriously considering testing and maybe racing F1 again, and in connection to the later one, Scuderia Toro Rosso's name came up (a team that still has two free seats officially)

Martin Whitmarsh said in response that Mika is welcomed to test the car again, and he refused to deny or affirm the Toro Rosso rumour.

here is the source if you fancy reading Finn rumours translated to Hungarian http://www.a5.hu/cikkek/53/18587.shtml

I thought I'd seen every far fetched speculative rumour in F1.

well they can't run with the story of 'Kimi to Ferrari' that was always in the papers there, so now it's 'Mika come back' stories.

Not a chance.

The whole point of Toro Rosso is to let Red Bull's young guns get a chance to race. Signing Hakkinen would be highly counter-productive.

Rumour has it that "Fast Eddie" is looking at the Spyker drive.

What exactly be the point for Mika part from trundling around in midfield all season picking up an occassional point?

Nothing but speculation and it will stay at that.

Who says he was talking about Hakkinen? He could have been reffering to Paffet or de la Rosa.

Or are they still trying to get a hold of Hamilton? "At the moment McLaren's drivers are..." Better chance of Mika joining the team than that.
