It's ok, I reckon. Kimi does not have the drive (literally) anymore.
What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.
So, they are racing in Hungary, Budapest this weekend.
It should be a very exciting weekend and race. This racetrack is normally warmer than the last few races, which will fit the Brawns and they should be up to it again this weekend, but Red Bull has made quite a few changes and their 2 drivers have come off wins the least few races.
I just hope the Ferrari's can do something this weekend and maybe Alonso in his Renault will show the rest some tailpipes.

Any news?
All I know is that Schumi isn't coming back....
What news are you looking for?
They have been in the summer break, so no real testing could take place. Here are some worhtwhile mentions:
- 1. Schumi is not coming back - his neck is not strong enough yet, from the motorbike accident in Feb.
- 2. Renault to race at Valencia after winning appeal (they were suspended from this race due to unsafe conduct when they released Alonso with a loose wheel) instead they were fined $50,000
- 3. Romain Grosjean will drive for Renault alongside Fernando Alonso and replaces Nelson Piquet this weekend in Valencia.
- 4. Luca Badoer (Ferrari test driver) will drive in Felipe Massa's place.
- 5. Felipe Massa is recovering well at home in Brazil and no ETA on his return yet.
- 6. Force India has a huge aerodynamic update on their car coming to Valencia.
- 7. Mclaren has a fully updated car coming to Valencia, with which Hamilton won the Hungarian race.
- 8. BMW bringing some developmental changes including aerodynamic changes to Valencia.
- 9. BMW Sauber is withdrawing from F1 at the end of the season - they are looking for a team buyer.
- 10. Kimi Raikkonen’s first outing in the World Rally Championship came to a premature end when he crashed out of the Finland Rally.
Expect a fast race, with some of the highest average speeds. The Valencia circuit is a street-circuit, with several fast straights and slow corners.

And Ferrari takes it!!!!! woot first win this year... despite the bad news that Massa was injured and couldn't race and schumi who couldn't fill in for him(really wanted to see this though). Nice one Kimi(finally)
Awesome thread! Me...huge F1 fan, follow it religiously!![]()
As for me, another Ferrari fan, spawned from the days when Jean Alesi & Gerhard Berger still drove for them. Needless to say they were the backmarkers those days, practically dead last...only until Shumi picked them up. That said, also been a Schumi fan since the old Benneton Ford days.
Now...I'm a Massa fan and hope to see him back behind the wheel real soon, Luca Badoer's a bloody joke! As for Kimi, not the greatest fan, so I just root for his car.
That all said, omg I'm still trying to figure out how the Force India team managed to have such a great car under them this weekend?Must be the Ferrari engines they're running on! lol.
