am I right in assuming that if that happens, it'll be the first time the Scuderia have released then taken a driver back at a later date?

Gerhard Berger was the last to do that? Have to think about others, probably be stupidly obvious.

And so it is. Mario Andretti did a famous cameo in 82 after Villeneuve and Pironi destroyed themselves/each other. Also Clay Regazzoni.

Felipe Massa has revealed that he will not be at Ferrari next season, with his departure leaving the way open for Kimi Raikkonen to rejoin the team.

Ferrari has spent the last few days finalising its 2014 driver line-up, and it was widely expected that Massa would not be retained.

Ahead of a scheduled appearance at Maranello on Wednesday, Massa duly confirmed that he was looking for fresh opportunities in Formula 1.

In a message that was posted on his Twitter feed, Massa said: "From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari.

Analysis: Lotus ready with 2014 plan B

"I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together.

"Thank you also to my wife and all of my family, to my fans and all my sponsors. From each one of you I have always received a great support!

"Right now I want to push as hard as possible with Ferrari for the remaining seven races.

"For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the championship, which remains my greatest objective."

Did massa just grow a backbone or are Ferrari giving him a chance to leave with dignity?

Well bye-bye Massa! Nice guy, gave it a nudge and deserved to rob Hamilton of his WDC but his time has come

.

Shame be could not carry his form from late last year into this season...but alas, goneski. PLEASE DO NOT LET HIM END UP AT LOTUS!!111

Why?

Massa and Grosjean would be great crash buddy's..

Many lols would be had. :P

I cant see Kimi going back to Fezz when it was them that killed his interest in F1...but he wants a competitive car. Fezz want results and keeping Kimi motivated and Alonso happy doesnt seem to fit with the team . I suspect Kimi is using this all to push Lotus and perhaps even McLaren. Surely its Hulk going to Fezz

BBC say its a done deal http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/24042352

"The Finn, who won the world title with Ferrari in 2007 but was replaced by Alonso at the end of 2009, has signed a one-year deal with an option for 2015."

Lotus have said they want Hulk if they lose Kimi.

Massa back to Sauber??? Can't see anywhere else for him.

So Ferrari look a bit silly now. Hopefully a front running car for Kimi but :)

Shame Lotus lost James Allison and couldnt confirm substantial financial stability in the team or that car with Kimi at the wheel could have been amazing next year

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
