Kimi back to Ferrari
Just been on Radio5 that Kimi has re-signed for the Scuderia team to replace Massa.
This should make him a really serious rival to Master One Finger.

It will end in tears and two very unhappy numero uno drivers. At least they have got rid of Mr inconsistent Massa. I am willing to bet by the
end of next season they are looking to hire two new drivers.

It'll also make the Spaniards tash curl. No way I can see Kimi playing second fiddle to Alonso. Should be interesting to say the least
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I can see the radio messages:
'Kimi, Fernando is faster than you' and 'Fernando, Kimi is faster than you' will be redundant.
Massa was used to a lot of verbage across the radio, whether he wanted it or not. I suspect Kimi will have 'radio issues' if that
persists....

Kimi a man of few words, it must be impossible to tell if Kimi's radio is actually working car to pit.

I just hope they get the car sorted.....say what you will about Alonso, he is one of the best drivers out there....
It's nice to see that Ferrari have changed thier tactics to two number one drivers.......as mentioned, no way will Kimi play second fiddle.

'likely' etc etc..

Until I see it posted on the Ferrari website or Joe Sawards blog I wouldn't believe it.
Joe Saward is one of the most respected F1 journalists out there and until it's on his page as fact then it's just chancers hoping they
can claim a scoop!

Ferrari's problem is the car, not the driver. Whoever their 2nd driver was, however good he was, they'd still be 2nd in the constructors
this year.
Cheers,
James

Wonder if Rob Smedley will be Kimi's engineer, should make for some interesting radio clips
Think Massa will struggle for a drive next year too, as could Hulkenberg.
Be a strong team if Ferrari can give them a competitive car, unlike recent years.

Massa really should never have reached F1 on his good days he was good on his many bad days he was hopeless if Ferrari had held of to Rubens for
another couple of seasons they would have collected more points and wins
Hulkenberg will go to the so called Lotus team.
The one who has really lost out was Paul Di Resta he would have been a perfect fit at Ferrari
The first few races of next year will be down to who gets the new engine, and new tyres to work putting drivers and aero will be on a back
burner.

maybe or maybe not - i cannot say as i have never met them nor likley too. they drive to win not to be nice'n'fluffy and cuddly. the
money they get paid, i don't think they are too bothered about their public image.

It has always struck me that to get anywhere driving, it seems a sparkly personality goes with it - or in the case of Americans - prickly.
I refuse to be either, so I'm out. I just saved someone in F1 a long distance call.

So what would Kimi's answer be if he receives that radio message...
Kim, Alonso is quicker than you...
1 yeah I know what I'm doing.
2 but I'm in front.
3 get &*%$.
And I don't see Kimi putting up with being blocked in the pit lane, should FA feel like trying that one again.
