Raikkonen set for a second stint at McLaren?

Kimi Raikkonen has signed an "outline agreement" to kick off a second tenure with the McLaren team beginning next season, the Mirror newspaper reported on Sunday.

The British newspaper said the 29-year-old Finn, who raced with the Woking based outfit between 2002 and 2006, must first reach an agreement with Ferrari, with whom he is under contract for one more season.

The Mirror cited "paddock sources" in claiming that Raikkonen is prepared to vacate his contracted Ferrari seat in 2010, but only if the famous Italian outfit pays his salary. The newspaper estimated Raikkonen's 2010 Ferrari contract at nearly US $49m.

The report also said the news ties in with Nico Rosberg's link with Brawn and the Brackley team's burgeoning relationship with Mercedes-Benz.

The German manufacturer Mercedes was said to be pushing for Rosberg to replace Heikki Kovalainen at McLaren, but may now have resolved to push the German driver to Brawn and increase its involvement with the Ross Brawn-led outfit.

If this is true i can see alonso coming to Ferrari

the money the get these days really is obscene. I mean kimi is a great bloke. love the guy. and it's a full on job, consumes your whole lift, and you don't get a 4 year degree to get it, you get racing every weekend from when you're 5 years old in karts till your 25 in F3 and even then you have probably a 1 in 10,000 shot at it. but fck me dead the money they get for what is a great job is just not in touch with reality.

The top guys wouldn't get paid that much if any track-day warrior (like me, f'rinstance) could do what they do.

It's those consistent tenths of a second per lap that make the difference between the World Champ drivers and the merely excellent.

*insert clown music

suspended two year ban... in clear english means... no punishment

Flava Flav got himself a nice pounding tho

For an unlimited period, the FIA does not intend to sanction any International Event, Championship, Cup, Trophy, Challenge or Series involving Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever, or grant any license to any Team or other entity engaging Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever.

It also hereby instructs all officials present at FIA-sanctioned events not to permit Mr. Briatore access to any areas under the FIA's jurisdiction

Still feel for Pat Symonds, always had a massive amount of respect for the guy to get such a small team to embarrass the big spending boys

...suspended two year ban... in clear english means... no punishment

what a f**king joke.

Mclaren fined $100000000 and lost all their points for having some data from another team that they didn't use.

Renault fixes a race by causing a crash and gets......no penalty at all (sif they are going to get caught doing this again, no-one has been found guilty of race fixing in my memory even with some of MS's tricks)

Alonso even keeps his points for the race that was fixed WTF?

Imagine if it had been ferrari! FIA would have sent a stern letter.

I wonder what will happen to GP2 (FB owns the series) and the WSR (mechachrome supplies the engines, FB owns Mecachrome) if the FIA will not allow FB to have anything to do with them?

He has to relinquish control and interests in businesses sanctioned by FIA. Its a farking joke. I like Renault but this is a crock of shit and disgraceful the way its been handled. Effectiveyl a slap on the wrist because they know there is genuine concern that Renault and Toyota are going to walk .

Worlds premier motorsport my ass, and they know it it doesnt look good if 4 teams leave in 12 months. Worst of all is hs hackness. If my boss asked me to sign dodgy paperwork i would tell him to pull his head in...if he told me to crash and risk injury i would set the guy straight and walk.... His Hackness is a disgrace of a sportsman, with the rest of Renault management disgraceful

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
