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

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

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
