In the latest F1 Racing Magazine Kimi apparently admits that he is considering a return to F1. It would be great, it's just that the car is going to be bad.

Times will be better for Williams next year. If they get Kimi he should bring 0.5 seconds to the team and I think part of the reason Williams are so slow this year is because they can't use off-throttle-blown diffuser technology with the Cosworth.

Rubens has said that the car behaves ok. one day, then the next it behaves completely different. Same aero set-up. Fundamental issues with the car.
This doesn't mean that the car is doomed next year. Many changes coming.

Sure sure, the two reliable sources were British just by accident. Keep it up, it keeps things 'exciting' around here while waiting for a GP week end.

Back to topic, I really hope this is true and he comes back to F1.

Call me old fashioned but I do tend to read news in my own country before I look around foreign websites for news. Am I alone in doing this people? Autosport and the BBC being quite big names for reporting motorsport news is an obvious choice for someone like me. I only speak English so looking at German, Italian, Spanish, and French websites is a total waste of my time even if I attempt to try and translate them through Google. I don't think this is unreasonable to state ioan if I am honest and I fail to see your point.

On topic though, this months F1 Racing magazine appears to have dedicated its front page to Kimi and his apparent return. Good news after months and months of unsubstantiated rumours.

EDIT: I see Dex has already said it..

Nothing is clear yet, officially. But I really hope this will come thrue.

And besides, I don´t care what car he drives as long as he is on the grid next year. Am I the only one who is so dumb.

You're not dumb Mia. Its raining here this evening though by the way if that helps?

The article says Taki Inoue is working with Japanese F1-drivers to help them in their contract affairs. Maybe some Japanese driver was hoping to get a deal with Williams?

Huh, like who? Sakon Yamamoto? Nakajima again?

I never understood this kind of statements.

well Alonso brought 6 tenths to McLaren don't forget. Unfortunately he forgot to take them with him and Ron gave them to Lewis. The last I heard Lewis had left them in his spare trousers which were at Nicole's house, I think Pharell has them now, but he's not sure what to do with them

Haha, the 6 tenths claim has haunted him ever since..

[SkHukV3N]

I guess Button somehow stole those six tenths from Hamilton. I mean how else a driver, who was expected to get trashed by Lewis, suddenly becomes better than him?

Anyone who thought he would get trashed is misinformed IMO. I didn't think he would have a straight run of success over Lewis in 2011, but its obvious Lewis has had a rough patch which was broken in Korea thank goodness. Button is vastly more experienced than Hamilton and this shows in more challenging and mixable conditions but I don't agree with your claim that Button is suddenly better and faster than Hamilton. I think Jenson would disagree that he is faster than Lewis, and more often than not the performance gap is there. As long as both Mac drivers continue to do well I can see a long partnership where both will push each other on to success.

I'm sure Alonso fans are happy that someone mentioned that Kimi only brings 0.5seconds
In addition Alonso also took 0.4 seconds off from Massa.

Ioan is waiting for the romanian motorsport press to cover the issue to believe it.

Never thought Button is faster than Hamilton. Perhaps on some circuits, where Lewis ate up tyres quicker, Button became a bit faster in race trim at the end of stints and has had a better string of performances lately. But remains to be seen, how will the events unfold in the future.

The deal is done, if this story is thrue.

The story does have a disclaimer in the first paragraph Mia: "at least according to rumours in the Indian GP paddock"....

Nothing new so far, but I think the announcement is close.

F1 News > Raikkonen talk gathers strength
It has emerged that the team's attempts to pull off the Raikkonen coup are linked to backing from the Qatar National Bank as a major sponsor.
The Brazilian media, with Rubens Barrichello's interests close at heart, are monitoring the situation carefully and revealed at the weekend that Frank Williams has recently spent time personally in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Williams, of course, already has business interests in Qatar
but many will remember that it was backing from that part of the world that launched the team on its route to the top more than 30 years ago.
do you know what family it was
clue a load of trash

I've told you should wait for the articles in the romanian press. it's the most reliable when it comes to formula 1. It's based on facts not rumors. I can already see it...."Kimi Raikkonen is back in Formula 1. He's driving a blue car. He crashed after falling asleep in Malaysia. He finished somewhere in the second half of the table in the previous race."

Or that the commentator knows him personally, has breakfast with him, and also tested the Williams before Kimi to see if it's a good car or not, and warned Kimi not to drive it, as it is nowhere near the quality of Red Bull or Ferrari, cars which the commentator also drove. Hearing which, Kimi gave this commentator half his wealth and retired in the Alps. This genius commentator, apart from being an expert in commentating, also is manager and mentor to more than half of the current crop of F1 drivers...
