Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Silver Arrows are back :)

Stoked Brawn will lead Mercedes to total domination now, its going to be like Ferrari for 2000-2004 again

Now whos going to drive where?

I'm going to say If Jensen doesnt sign with Mereede (AKA Brawn again hes a total twit)

McLaren looks like they have there dream couple though which means its likely to be Heidfeild and Nico at Brawn

Button may not get the choice of re-signing!

I wouldnt be too sure of Brawn/Merc dominating again next year.... Did they have the coin to develop next years car? If they did then I would expect them to be up front. If they didn't.... well....

They started on next years car half way thought his season, becasue at that stage Ross knew they had things pretty much shown up so they begain devlopment of next years car about the same time as McLaren and Ferrari so there are no issues there with time

I also think that they have been recivng $$$ for next season from Mercedes for a large part of this season, as there is no way Mercedes would not be making this investment unless they are going to long results

I belive with the $$$$ backing of Mercedes and Brawns pure genius they are going to dominate F1 for the next we while

I can't wait the real Silver Arrows are back

Thats becasue Kimi has crazy expectations, Mclaren put an offer to him but apparantly the pay was to low and Kimi doesnt want to do sponsorship work

It's up to Kimi if he really want to race there were / still are seats avaiable

He jsut needs to lower his salarys expectations

Will be shame if Kimi doesnt get a seat as I am a huge fan. But at the same time, if his hearts not really in it, I'd rather see him go do something else, and enjoy watching him rally or whatever he decides to do.

Its hard to keep your heart in it when Ferrari didn't get him a 1/2 pie decent car for the last 2 years as in 07 when he had the car under him he was nie on untouchable.But it will be a shame if he doesn't get a seat somewhere as its clear to me he is still one of the top 3 guys in F-1.

well, some would point out that in 2008 there was a car pretty similar to kimis that for 10 secs had won the drivers champs! and they car won the constructors champs :wink:
but dont take that as me knocking kmi, i too think he is one of the best drivers out there
however if you want to talk motivation of consistency.... well....

I think his motivational issues are miscontrued as his personality is not exactly the most outgoing and to be fair he could be taken to be very boring but I still believe with a 1/2 decent car under him he will be great again.I thought he got the most he could out of the Ferrari in the 2nd half of the season as Ferrari pulled the pin when the writing was on the wall.So with this in mind I can see it was easy for Raikkonen to have motivational issue's and Ferrari were always after Alonso and they kept that festering in the backround and I think all of these issue's didn't help Raikkonen's so called issue's so I believe Ferrari have to shoulder alot of the blame for Raikkonen's performances also.

Ahh Im a big Button fan but I can't see him beating Lewis, as much as I dislike admitting it :x I hope he wasnt forced out of the Merc/Brawn team because they only want German drivers for 2010...

Did you read the comments underneath that article..Mclaren a british team started by a NZer its funny how the Brits have such a short memory..What a crack up there biggest motorsport team and if it wasn't for Bruce Mclaren all those years ago no Mclaren today.

I'd laugh if Raikkonen ended up at Brawn that would be quite funny.

Well looks like I will be cheering on Vettel and Rosberg next year if Kimi is gone. Also hoping that Hamilton wipes the floor with Button. :wink:

edit: And hopefuly the Japanese driver Kobayashi (sp?) gets a seat. :twisted:
