Kimi comfirm go to Ferrari next season, really sad ....

Not really, IMHO, montoya (2nd driver for mclaren) just want to show he is faster than kimi ( 1st driver for mclaren)..
That will happen if alonso and kimi as teammate, especially second driver.

I see...this remind me of the fight of just now race between their own teamate of Tiago Monteiro and Christijan Albers ....1 of the is showing the hand gesture ...if i m not mistaken

All the best to Kimi.

the 5 yrs in mclaren can said to be a wonderful relationship eventhough no championship won but he is the one that keeps mclaren in the top with such a car..

Congrats Kimi.
Honestly, sad a bit he's leaving for Ferrari next season.

His goal is the world title...since macca failed to give him that...maybe Ferrari can.

I suppose you are switching camp next season?

yes and no.
no supporting Alonso.
yes supporting McLaren's 2nd driver.

Kimi's gonna make an impact to Formula 1 same as Michael Schumacher made
an impact since Senna's death.

i know i am

gonna change my comp wallpaper, phone wallpaper as well as go buy more red coloured shirts

macca gave him a championship winning car last season.
he failed to deliver.

that said...i'm kinda sad he's leaving as he is a great driver.
all the best to him.

i wouldn't say he failed to deliver. mclaren didn't give him a championship winning car till midway through the season with alonso already having a comfortable lead.

also, the car was unreliable. there were some races when kimi was comfortably leading before the car let go in some way. forgive me for not remembering the details as my brain is mostly filled with stuff for my exams next week

Bring forth Lewis Hamilton~! He's almost certain to get in now that he's clinched the GP2 title

How sad...but life goes on.

All the best to him

Yes.
But the suspension failure in Hockhenheim last season was Kimi' fault I think.
Bumped heavily and one of the front tyre badly damage.
Last lap...suspension all gone

I think macca don't need to be hasty.
Let Hamilton find more experience 1st.

that was the european gp in nurburgring i think

he flat spotted his tyre while trying to lap villeneuve and was suffering heavy vibrations. then his suspension finally broke on the last lap handing alonso the race win

two Germany GP made me

Well I knew this was comin, I posted this a while back Kimi in a Ferrari colors.Kimi drove a great race in Monza, I think he showed the tifosi that he would be the natural successor to Michael's legacy at Ferarri. I think Mclaren got off to a very bad start to the year, with several of their key engineers and Adrian leaving them, I think that , and several key factors were the deciding factors that Kimi decided to make his move to Ferrari.

However I have made a mental note that Mclaren has made drastic improvements on their car, the results speak for themselves, a 2nd place podium in Monza, who knows what would of happened in Turkey if he didnt have that shunt.I do suspect that Mclaren may have a really competitive car next year, and Alonso as you know is a very competitive driver ( I know there will be flames, but you cannot argue with his results)
So all in all, he may of made the right move to go to Mclaren , we shall see.

Now that Kimi's future is confirmed and official, I wish him the best , I am a Kimi supporter, now that he is a Ferrari driver, I am pretty sure, if nothing goes wrong, (he doesnt bring his bad luck from Mclaren to Ferrari, ie car breaking down ......) with Bridgestone tyres, (everyone will be running on Bridgestone next year, right?) I see him winning his first WDC ! His main threat without a shadow of a doubt, will be Alonso, Massa,
Mclaren's number 2 driver, Team BMW and possibly the new Finn Heikki.

wewt!
Cant wait for next year!

besides the 2nd place in Monza, he also got the fastest time during the race..that shows that there is a lot of improvement done on the car..

Always a Kimi supporter since he was in Sauber (Reason that time was, I just like his name). I'm still having McClaren Mercedez hat with his name on it. Bought it at the 2002 F1 in Sepang, his first year with McClaren. Nobody expected what he will become that time
