It puts to bed any questions of his motivation, but for me it just raises further questions about his poor form.

Absolutely Tom, he to me is one of the big names of the near future.

No doubt, I feel like he is more likely to win a world title from 09 onwards than Massa, Heiki, Nico or Alonso.

Jury is still out on Kimi..................to be continued

The future is Lewis, Kubica, Vettel, Sutil,............The others will slip into DC type roles, as Alonso already is.

Sutil? Thats a brave call. He needs to get out of Froce India and prove himself elswhere before i'll form an opinion. Additionaly i think Kovalinen and Rosberg are both worth a mention.

I'm a brave chap!

One thing for sure, there is a changing of the guard. Let's just hope the same happens with those in charge.

Don't get your hopes up, Jackie Stewarts been pressuring for employed and trained race stewards for years.

Well it'll be a nice duel I also rate highly Kubica. Unlikey Burky I think Alonso will beat him overall, after a few races of getting used to the new team.

Sutil?? Last year I thought he was good, this year he's being schooled by Fisi.

About Kimi's motivation ... well I don't know what his motivation to race 2 more years is , but for sure he's motivated to get two more 40M Euro salaries! hehe I think Ferrari made a big mistake, an unmotivated Kimi and Massa is a very poor line up. Of course I'm not a very unbiased source, but most Italians seem to agree (they are quite pissed) so that's conforting.

Yes no Alonso at Ferrari.

Hopefully this puts an end to the "Kimi has no motivation" bollocks and was bollocks in the first place.

Alonso/Kubica partnership looks very good, shame Hieldfeld is the one to suffer as he's done quite well.

Oh as for the Hamilton/Kimi incident, Hamilton did gain an advantage but the penalty was harsh.

Heikki Kovaleinen needs the boot... the guy is worthless. He's making Hamilton look faster than he really is.

Indeed mate, nice to have you about Dave

Cheers Dazza, nice to be meeting up (virtually) with old mates.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Tom @ Sep 12 2008, 02:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>The saga continues........

So Kimi stays at Ferrari till 2010, great news for the fans!!

This news leaves ALonso's options reduced to just BMW and Honda if he wants to leave Renault. I'd be pretty excited about both, especially how he might rack up against Robert Kubica.
Hell yeah! great news for sure!!! Good to hear he will stay another year. It's nice that divers like Alonso and Kimi (champs) will still be around. Good for the sport!

The others??? No way man! Alonso is still the best driver around, Kimi is maybe not the best one, i'll admit that, but no way he'll slip into DC type roles! DC was never a real winner and he'll never be one, that's the difference mate!

I do think that guys like Lewis, Vettel, Kubica are the future. Not too sure abput Adrian, he's good, I agree, but he first needs to have a good car, then we can judge properly

I'm sure he doesn't really need the money, it's not like he doesn't have enough, don't you think??
About Kimi being unmotivated..what are you talking about man???? Why do people keep saying that. Ok, I'll be the first to admit that he hasn't performed the way he should have performed. He can do so much better, but it hasn't happened. I do think he tries his best. IF he really WASN'T motived, he wouldn't have signed, simple as that!!!!! I'm sure not all Italians are happy about it, oh well, I bet they were celebrating like crazy when Kimi won the title last year, and both KR and FM won Ferrari the WCC title..so they should just be happy about that and stop being so spoiled if you ask me. This season Ferrari is leading the WCC so far, and both drivers have a shot at winning the title, especially Massa. Maybe they rather see them lose all the time?????

Finally someone who agrees with me!!!
Like you I also agree that the penalty was harsh, but Lewis DID gain an advantage. Most drivers on the grid ALSO think Lewis gained an advantage..I guess the two of us aren't that blind then.

Anyway, about the race. I have no idea what to expect. They say it’s gonna rain, then I will go for a Lewis win. McLaren does a better job than Ferrari in those circumstances, and Lewis is just very good in the wet.

Hopefully it will be a nice race!

If telling the truth is considered being funny, then I'm one funny girl!

That was a nice Qualy (monza) gratz to Vettel on first pole , seems we gonna have an interesting race tomorrow at Monza

Interesting quali. Ok maybe I was wrong and Massa is not as .... as I thought he was, he managed to beat Kimi and Lewis (rainmaster my ...).

Congrats to Vettel, one future champion I think. Good job also Kova and Webber.

Race tomorrow is gonna be great rain or dry, with the quickest cars starting so far back there will be overtaking. Championship looking good for Massa if it doesn't rain.

Honda ... with two good wet weather drivers like Barrichello and Button our in Q1 ... embarrasing, how BAD can you make a car??
