Earlier I was convinced that Kimi already had a McLaren contract, inked well before the Alonso-2-Ferrari-announcement. But now I'm not so sure, I've developed a nasty feeling that maybe Kimi don't have nothing and if things dont work, F1 might lose him (yes, IMO it would be a great loss for the sport).

But voted McLaren, it's still most propable and that's where I hope he will end up.

There are no milk floats in Finland. tongue.gif

I go for McLaren.

With his poor attitude and general lacklustre performances, I say he doesn't deserve the championship drive he thinks he does. His car and the team behind it carried him to championship glory at a time when it was Ferrari's championship to lose. He says he only wants a championship winning car but which car is that. After this year, can anyone pinpoint which team will enjoy success? Prior to the first race, would anyone have guessed that Brawn and RBR would essentially sweep the season? I think Kimi has a poor outlook and that poor outlook is why Alonso was given his seat. Drivers can come into F1 on the high hopes of the teams like Kimi did, but in the end, if a driver doesn't deliver on those high hopes, like Kimi hasn't, the team looks for replacements. He may get a decent drive for next year, but I think there are other drivers more deserving.

Brawn, he said he needs a team that can win races and there seems to be some push back from the Lewis camp.

With his poor attitude and general lacklustre performances he has scored more points in the last 6 races than any other driver with that superiour F60.

Seems to me Kimi wants to be served without bringing anything to the table himself. It should be clear to any team that if they hire this guy, they can expect sub par performance from the driver if the car doesn't deliver according to Kimi. That's the opposite from what teams get if they hire Alonso or Hamilton. They show total commitment regardless of how the car performs.
MinT
WRC maybe

All evidence points to him being in McLaren if he remains in F1, so this poll is just a stab in the dark if you're going to choose anything else.
Touti
The poll is missing a "He will retire" option. He made it clear that he won't race in a car that isn't capable of winning, who can provide that to him ? I can only see 3 teams that he would consider capable of winning races and a championship.

Ferrari: Not an option obviously.
Red Bull: They already have their drivers and there's no reason to believe they're ready/trying to get rid of Webber or Vettel to take Kimi in.
McLaren: Seems like his only option.

So where will Kimi be racing next year ? I think he's gonna race at McLaren or he won't race at all.............anywhere.

You should read Ayrton Senna's biography. In the early 90's he was thinking of taking a year off because he wasn't in the fastest car (Williams). So Kimi isn't alone in his wishes to have the best car.

So long as he's in Formula 1 next year I'll be a happy camper, weather you like him or not, he's really a very talented driver, and F1 needs drivers like him.

mmmm
what ever - but IF he spends too much time around Helsinki, the rear waves of his yacht makes my life difficult....

So, give the guys Toro Rosso then. Or just a toolbox as they have the REAL character. Define real commitment.
