Link?
All I can find is the usual speculation headlines.



No speculation, it's almost 3 months that here in Italy we know that next year Alonso will be in Ferrari FOR SURE and that Kimi was abandoned:
and yes, Alonso officially signed in these days...

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.

I think Raikkonen is a keep to himself type of guy..I don't really see him and Hamilton being the best of friends but it'll just be like a professional business relationship and he'll just get on with the job..

:lol: love this quote from a comment on an article about the current F1 drivers team swapping:

"Yes indeed, let's let the shopping begin! I'll have a Mclaren/Raikkonen t-shirt, a Ferrari/Alonso cap and a BrawnGP/Button jacket, please. Oh hell, I like Nico and Rubens, too - add in a pair of Williams/Barrichello trainers and a stylish BrawnGP/Rosberg wallet, thank you very much. Excuse me, how much?! Okay, just the Campos earplugs, then... :("

Yep I've seen this rumour in alot of magazines and its no surprise really they have'nt really done anything to date since the 05 season.They have shown signs this season but for some reason they can't kick on and lets face it like any company they have'nt got a endless stream of $$$$ money they can keep throwing at it forever and with the lack of a race win I think there time could be up..

'The climax of this World Championship was supposed to be a private affair between Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, the Brawn GP drivers, who have been stumbling around looking for the finishing line like old men with blindfolds.
