Great to see Kimi back in the sport, but at the same time, I was hoping Kubica would be back for next year.

Perhaps Kubica will get back soon and develope the car into a winner, Rakkinen dosen't care how the car is set up, so they might make a great pair. In any case it's already heating things up. Who else could say on live TV he was late 'cause he was taking a s**t. A sponser's dream or maybe nightmare depending on their sense of humour. Welcome back. Mar 27-2012 I can hardly wait.

Kubica sent a message last week to Renault saying he won't be ready for the start of 2012.
I've done plenty or reading between the lines there; a lot of things still up in the air at Renault. Petrov didn't help the development at all in 2011, Senna was way better than Heidfeld and Petrov. Robert may never be the same, or, he could mount a Mika Hakkinen style comeback and become World Champion. Time will tell.

Räikkönen might just hate cameras. Vettle seems to love them. Anyway, if Renault gets a better chassis there could be some fireworks in the top 5 or so. I know Hammy will have to work for his sandwich.
Oh, and if Kimi brings any of what he learned in rally, he might be tossing the car more. Coooool. I looked for videos of Milt Minter but couldn't find any. There was a guy who could throw a car into a turn sideways like a dirt tracker, keep the wheels straight throughout, and drift right to the edge at exit, power on. But, I digress. |
