I'm not sure what to make of the fact Ferrari didn't take the trouble of spelling the name of their most recent world champion correctly. :? When I listen to TV-commentators, they also don't take the trouble of getting the pronunciation right. It's not that difficult, is it? How about this thread? ...

If thats what he said, well no **** sherlock. He wasn't exactly going to say I couldn't be arsed driving for the final two races to stick it to Lotus if that was his real intention and the surgery could have waited for the end of season. Nothing but a expected PR statement. So you're a doctor? :lol...

Whatever you may think of Raikkonen, I think Daniel Ricciardo summed it up perfectly when he said; "This is the top of motorsport in the world and if a driver like Raikkonen is not getting paid then the sport is not in the best shape." I got ridiculed when i questioned what state F1 was heading in ...

Ok see ya later when Kimster in red

SwSpeed

Interesting take on it by James Allen: Ferrari were unaware of Raikkonen’s back problem when signing for the team, so this move was likely prompted by the heads at Maranello in order to ensure his fitness before pre-season begins in early 2014 . Raikkonen was at Maranello this week for a 2014 seat ...

Before asking kimi to get out of the f* way, may be they should use their f* brains and their f* radio to warn the driver in front. There was absolutely no warning to Kimi before Grosjean put his nose by the side. shows up lotus in bad light http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2013/11/01/2013-indian-grand-p...

The money Kimi is owed is probably dependent on the final position and his points, so it may be worth Kimi considering this.

I think Alonso will have an edge for 2014.

Kimi will be close and occationally beat him fair and square.
If they are close nobodys reputation will go worse. It's like the two at Merc they are neck to neck and so sparkles, racing as a team.

But what if?

Alonso is not at Ferrari next year?

The problem is, that this could become the norm. The next time a driver with a strong support base is given an unpopular order, it is more likely fans will take to Twitter to threaten the team boss who gave the order. It's clearly unacceptable, but is there anything that can be done to stop it , or...
