in the good old days it was so much easier, just make some phone calls and Bruno Giacomelli, John Watson or Riccardo Patrese were there to drive

I guess it's the first time since I've started to follow up that everything is so messed up

I dunno about that but I remember 2007 being crazy because of Alonso and his relationship with McLaren, the end of 2008 was crazy because of Honda pulling out and then the same at the end of 2009 because of BMW and Toyota doing the same and the new teams being brought in.

I only remember the end of 2008 being crazy was because of the on-again-off-again saga of Honda pulling out, then who would be rescuing the team and drivers.

Finnish tabloid Ilta-Sanomat reports a three year deal has been agreed between Raikkonen and Ferrari.

I can't believe Kimi will go to Ferrari as long as Di Montezemolo is there.

Would be pretty underwhelming if it turns out Raikkonen sticks at Lotus for another year, Massa's contracted has been extended and continues along Alonso, and next to Vettel in Red Bull racing is Mark Webber, who has changed his mind and will continue for another year.


IMO that's the scenario which is more likely to happen


seems like the silly season has indeed been 'silly'.

Even Raffaele Marciello would score more points than Massa. Would be fucking retarded if he kept his seat.

That Todt dude must be one hell of a manager.

Eddie makes himself heard.

Quote:
Kimi Raikkonen 'wants Ferrari return' claims Eddie Jordan

Jimi Raikkonen is targeting a move to Ferrari following Red Bull's decision to sign Daniel Ricciardo, BBC F1 chief analyst Eddie Jordan says.
A deal for the Finn to return to the team for whom he won the 2007 title may be announced as soon as next month's Italian Grand Prix, Jordan said.
Ferrari said the claim was "not true" and that no decision had yet been made.
Jordan added that Ricciardo, 24, had already signed to partner Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull next season.
Ricciardo's promotion from junior team Toro Rosso is to be announced at this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, Jordan said.

A Red Bull spokeswoman said: "We don't have anything to announce at present but will advise when we do."
A Ferrari spokesman said the Italian team were concentrating on improving their car to boost Fernando Alonso's title challenge.
He added: "This is the exact same scenario as last year - with not only Kimi but a long list of other drivers allegedly going to Ferrari.
"At the moment our priority is produce the car for Fernando and Felipe (Massa) and a decision on the 2014 line-up will be made at the appropriate moment, which is not right now."
On Monday, Raikkonen's manager Steve Robertson told BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson that the 20-time grand prix winner, 33, would not be driving for Red Bull next year.
Robertson said: "Talks broke down. We haven't spoken for a little while and it's clear Kimi won't be driving for Red Bull in 2014.
"Kimi's a free agent. He still has options out there.
"There's a lot of things happening behind the scenes and I'm pretty confident he will be in F1 next year."
Asked specifically whether Ferrari were an option, he said: "Until they confirm their seats, my job is to speak to all the teams and see what's available."
Jordan said Raikkonen had made a return to Red Bull his first priority but when talks with the world champions broke down, he turned his attention to Ferrari.
He could also stay with current team Lotus for a third season.
Alonso is under contract until the end of 2016, but Ferrari are considering replacing Massa, who has had an inconsistent season.
BBC Sport understands that senior figures within the Ferrari team want Massa out and are keen for Raikkonen to return but that Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo is not keen on the idea.
Signing Raikkonen would be an admission they had made a mistake when they chose to end his contract a year early at the end of 2009 and pay him not to drive for them in 2010, when Alonso joined.
They preferred Massa as the Spaniard's partner, despite the Brazilian at the time recovering from a fractured skull sustained in an accident at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Although Raikkonen won the title for Ferrari in 2007, Massa outscored him throughout their time as team-mates through the following two years.
World champions Red Bull had made it clear they were choosing between Raikkonen and Ricciardo for the seat that has been made vacant for next season following Mark Webber's decision to leave F1 to drive for Porsche in sportscar racing.
Raikkonen was a known quantity and would be a choice they could guarantee would at least match the contribution Webber made to three consecutive constructors' world titles since 2010.
But Ricciardo's promotion will be a vindication for the Red Bull young driver programme, from which so far only Vettel has graduated to the senior team.
The 24-year-old is also likely to be a malleable choice who will play a support role for Vettel without the friction that developed between the German and Webber and which may well have emerged had Raikkonen, a former world champion, joined the team.
It remains to be seen whether Ricciardo has the ability to cope with the step up to the highest level of F1, and the pressure that brings.
His best result for Toro Rosso is a seventh place, although he has three times qualified sixth.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

That's a very interesting interview at autosport.

Horner makes it sound like it's Raikkonen who hasn't agreed on a Red Bull deal, and not the other way around.
Also it sounds like Alonso might evaluate options to pay off his contract to join Red Bull?

I follow your reasoning in both cases.

Really wonder what "The Flying Flu" will say when he comes to the track tomorrow.
