hahhah everytime when i see the chart, when kimi is not at the front lines. I'll say "hell kimi has retired" and out of 10 times, 6 times im correct LOL XD

If I recall correctly if Michael calls it quits at Ferarri, it is rumored that ALOT of engineers, mechanics are leaving as well, take this with a grain of salt, even Ross Brawn is considering taking either a sabbatical or retirement. Just imagine what this will do to Kimi's chances of winning a WDC with Ferarri if that happens.If this is all heresay and conjecture then thats cool, as Kimi will be with a team that has the most data on Bridgestone tyres, that alone could win him his first WDC. However I also would like to see both he and Alonso race together in the same car, we all know both are talented drivers,anyway Monza is drawing near, Ferarri will announce their driver lineup for 2007, anyone taking wagers on that one ? :-p

maybe the engineers and mechanics fled...but Ferrari's hardwares and tech. stays.

but without the proper people that has the talent to continue research and development to push ferrari forward how far can kimi and the team go? maybe for the next 3 seasons while the engine development freeze is in effect but what happens after that?

perhaps ferrari will be able to recruit the necessary talent required in that 3 years time but we'll just have to wait and see about that i guess

well success takes time 2 build.if ferrari can build the class of 2000 on time,i m sure the team can do the same 4 the new driver.

Ferrari has been in F1 since like...forever.
I think you are underestimating Ferrari by making that statement.

They are the most successful F1 team in history.
Those success does not come easy.
I think Ferrari are well prepared about the problem about their mechanics and
engineers leaving the team.

Of all the other teams this season, only Ferrari were able to match Renault's
performance in a short period of time...better now they won the last 3 out of 4 races.

Even McLaren were so slow doing that   
"Goyang kaki" ke? 

when will ferrari annouce their  driver line-up?

Ferrari refusing to give Schumi more time
Tuesday August 29 2006

Ferrari have denied Michael Schumacher's request for more time and are insisting that he lets them know prior to the Italian GP what his plans are for next year.

Schumacher's current Ferrari contract expires at the end of this season, however, the German has yet to decide if he wants to continue racing in 2007 or retire.

And according to his manager, Willi Weber, Ferrari's insistance on announcing their driver line-up at next weekend's Italian GP is putting undo pressure on Schumacher.

"They should let him decide in peace by waiting until the end of the season," Weber told Sport-Informations-Diens.

However, Ferrari are refusing to wait any longer for Schumacher to decide.

"We will definitely announce our driver pairing for 2007 in Monza," a Ferrari spokesman told GMM news agency.

Ferrari is cld be the most successful F1 team of all time. But, it is also full of controversy too. Illegal testing is annoying of all when they are not in winning form. Not forgetting the preferential treatment from Bridgestone

this is all for the sake of the team,if m.shumacher decided to retire at the end of this season,maybe ferrari first choice driver kimi raikkonen will leave mclaren for renault already,or choose to stay at mclaren,ferrari hav to do it earlier

Bro jackygwh, u got in the wrong section    McLaren Mercedes here. We hope 1-2 and not Ferrari in this thread.
