Kimi has to take this..I like lotus but a think Ferrari would be a better fit.

Only 15 mil? And to think I wanted to quit my job for racing. :driving:

Raikkonen won't drive for Ferrari.

Tons of PR work, Tons of politics, Ferrari dumped him before.

It's just not the environment that he's looking for to work in.

That's what make F1 difference than all other motorsports....

yeah i mean F1 is by far the most efficient no doubt but its not a valid comparison at all to nascar. It has different rules about how the stop is done and who can do what... the car requires fuel and most importantly because its "stock car racing" actual multiple lugs that must come off and on.. those guys are masters as what they do for the time they do it in.. they are mostly ex pro athletes and the training they do is pretty insane

Super GT is very similar to NASCAR except there is also a driver change.

Looks like Raikkonen is most likely staying with Lotus next year since the Red Bull deal didn't go through...

but business strategy-wise, why would his manager disclosed that news so quickly...??

it let everyone knows Raikkonen has no other option but staying with Lotus...

Exciting at the beginning.. then kinda boring on the last 5-6 laps...

feel bad for Raikkonen.. he is fast in the race but have to retire due to the brakes....

and Alonso.. he is just simply freaking fast... :icon17:

4 hrs of sleep after Richmond last night, but couldn't miss Monza live - one of my favorite tracks - hope SOMEONE (anyone will do....) has something for RBR today...........don't think so, but if Webber takes Vettel out in turn one, then we'll see an interesting race......:icon17:

Massa, however, made it clear that he will not play a supporting role to Alonso this year now he does not have a contract with the team.

"I will not race for Alonso from now on," he said.

"Right from Friday at Singapore I'll be working for myself.

"I will attack all the time, every lap. It's come the time to look after myself."

Totally great race. Predictions from alot of fans and forums was for another boring Vettel run-away. Hardly. I hope they keep Korea on the calendar. Great track with lots of room for battling and passing. Exactly what F1 needs!!

The domination from Red Bull and Vettel really make the race boring... at the front...

when seeing Vettel blasting away from the field before half of the 1st lap, it was clearly he will win the race unless his car has mechanic failure...

almost a 2sec lead after the first lap... it's not fun to watch and not fun to race against him....



the good is so far in for this season, the actions from 2nd to 12th is always exciting.

The battle between Hulkenberg, Hamilton and Alonso + Roseberg...

Then Massa, Perez, Gutiérrez and Maldonado... the move from Massa on lap 50(?) was bravo... jump from 12th to 9th...

That move shows his experience and smartness very very much... :tup::tup:

Look forward to Suzuka :tup::tup:

Just my 2 cents but if Pirelli would make a good tire that doesn't go off in just a handful of laps it would make the racing much better. Right now it's more about tire management than actual driving talent/car design. If Pirelli just made a tire that allowed them to race hard even for 20-30 laps it would make a huge difference. I say blame Pirelli not the teams/drivers for the poor racing.
