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.
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
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....

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.
Cant see any reports to confirm this, its all words like 'poised', 'set to', 'on the verge' and 'likely' etc etc..
I couldn't imagine working with those to planks!, they maybe good drivers but they have the personality of a house brick
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.

Wonder if Rob Smedley will be Kimi's engineer, should make for some interesting radio clips

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.

Well it's happened for real now...
How long before El Nano's toys come flying out of the pram?
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.
