Vaimon veli on kiinassa töissä,täytyy laittaa viestiä menemään...ukkokun on melkonen supliikki niin eiköhän saada "muutamat" nimet adressiin:thumbup:
:thumbup: ja on muuten Japanissakin sama homma - suurin osa fanittaa Kimiä.
Ja mitä hyötyä tuosta adressista ( viitaten edelliseen ). No ei mitään ( varsinkin kun puolet näyttää olevan suomalaisia, vaan väliäkö tuolla. Voihan sinne ilmoittautua ihan vaan senkin takia, että pitää Ferrarin touhua omituisina, epäkorrekteina. Voidaan sitten palata asiaan ensi vuonna.

Kimi Raikkonen's McLaren return could be making of Lewis Hamilton

Then, with the racing over, the even hotter rumour that Ferrari will confirm Fernando Alonso’s long-anticipated move to the Scuderia on Thursday, clearing the way for Kimi Raikkonen’s return to McLaren.
It's an intriguing proposition and begs the question: what makes anyone think it would work this time? McLaren have a dreadful record of equal No 1s, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost being perhaps the best example. Alonso’s spell alongside Lewis Hamilton two years ago was hardly a match made in heaven.
I lasted six years at McLaren but it was mainly because I never achieved full No1 status yet was fast enough to be an effective wing man for Mika Hakkinen and Raikkonen. Heikki Kovalainen, unfortunately for him, is not fulfilling that brief, hence the return of the Iceman to Woking.
So why will it work this time? Well, for a number of reasons. Firstly, Kimi is not in the Alonso mould. He will not be politicking with the engineers. In fact, he won’t be doing much communicating at all with anyone, if previous form is anything to go by.
It is no secret that Kimi’s major problem at McLaren during his five seasons there between 2002 and 2006 was Ron Dennis. Ron used to want to package him like he did Mika but it never worked. Kimi is unpackageable; he is an outsider in the F1 paddock. If McLaren allow him, he will turn up, drive the car and then go home, no questions asked. And this time, crucially, I think they will.
That is not to say Kimi won’t be quick. The Finn is one of the quickest guys around. He certainly doesn’t need the money so he is coming to race and to have fun.
Lewis will be behind him on occasions, just as he was with Fernando, and that is what makes the move so intriguing. How will Lewis react this time?
Will his bottom lip come out?
I think he now has the confidence and maturity to cope with another top team-mate and certainly over the course of the season I would expect him to emerge victorious; he is younger and hungrier.
Best of all, Kimi offers Lewis the chance to cement his reputation as a modern great. You can only really be judged against your team-mate and I don’t think Lewis has really been defined in that sense. All the greats have been: Prost v Senna, Nigel Mansell v Nelson Piquet. To be honest, it was the one thing lacking from Michael Schumacher’s CV.
So I think this is great news for Lewis. In his first season he had nothing to lose and was brilliant, no question. But he was raw. Now he will have to prove himself against a top driver and it should make great theatre.
Looking ahead to Japan, as much as Jenson Button must be hoping to wrap up the title on the night, the rest of us would love it to go down to the wire.
I sense a great weight has been lifted from his shoulders since his second place in Monza a fortnight ago. He knew then that he just had to keep plodding away and he would emerge as world champion. That’s exactly what he did in Singapore.
Yes, he has been lucky on occasions but it’s no coincidence that his rivals keep tripping up; they are having to push their cars beyond their natural limits to catch him.
When Jenson’s brake pads started smoking on Sunday he was able to back off. I expect much the same at Suzuka — he just needs to get the car home. He’s nearly there.
