1 F1 drivers don't ever get blue sparks...

I wonder if Kimi will be able to find another ride? With several new teams joining next year, they're gonna be hungry for experienced talent. And though Kimi hasn't been a champion, he's done well overall. He is far from the worst driver available, and definitely not the worst one who is at liberty.

I won't be at all surprised if he has a new home for next season. But it won't be in as good of a car as Ferrari would have provided him.

It would be ironic if it was Renault, wouldn't it? With both of their experienced drivers now gone, they're going to be looking hard.

3 Kimi was looking at WRC, but he's probably not ready for the next season. He might try to jump in early with a weak team, I suppose.

4 Someone's already updated the Wikipedia entry for HWMNBN. It says that Kimi is rumored to be going to McLaren. Which would mean that Heikki is out there, because there's no damned chance that McLaren is dumping Hamilton.

5 Smart money says Kimi'll go to McLaren.  I can't imagine him going to one of the new teams and getting stuck in a lousy car.  Renault, maybe, but if it's not McLaren, I'd be surprised.

Heikki's gone, no question about it, whether or not Kimi comes in.

Last weekend the Legendary Announce Team mentioned that Kimi still has $40 million left on his contract.  Hope he got a good buy-out.

I'm loving this year's Silly Season.  :-)

 

7 I've been a Ferrari fan since I attended my first F1 race (Long Beach, 197 and many of it's drivers have been some of my favorites. I'm not sure how I feel about this new revelation, because I've never been an Alonso fan... I don't like his attitude. So if he's good for the team, I guess it's a good thing, but I'll be rooting for Massa!

9 That's not a bug, that's a feature.

Too bad Minx filters out ⁠.
