Ferrari knows with Kimi in a McClaren with Lewis will be to much for the Team Championship next Year , they knew where Kimi would go and what McClaren would offer,hence its Rally and Beer for the "Kimster" I will miss his talent.

No one should get millions of any currency to drive a racecar. If all racing ceased tomorrow the world wouldn't come to an end. If all the farmers stopped farming cause that can't earn a living. You can see where I'm going. Pay the farmers.

It would be a huge mistake for him to sit out a season. You just don't sit out and come back 100%. You lose a lot of edge and skill. And since there is no testing allowed, it would be worse. I have a hard time sympathizing for someone set to make 15-17mil


This has been my thought all along. If he wants to continue his career as an F1 driver he best be on the grid in 2010 because it is likely he will lose his edge if he takes a year off. Team managers know this and it's doubtful the big money offers will come pouring in for the 2011 season. Be smart, Kimi.

I am not a Kimi fan, but I think if he doesn't drive in 2010, it would be a huge loss to all the fans that do follow F1. And it will be an even bigger loss to Kimi, as coming back after a year or two off, may prove insurmountable.
