Does anybody know for how long did Kimi sign with Ferrari? Or for how long will he sign if he hasn't yet?

ETA: Nevermind. I've just found out He signed for three years

[parasite33]

I'm relived he singed for 3 years, not for 5 as some magazines did suggest.

[goodnightboy]

Why the relief, parasite33?

[parasite33]

I didn't want Kimi to go to Ferrari, that's why the relief, he'll be avaibile for other teams in 3 years, not 5.

[L i N d $ @ y]

yeah, me too. i'm glad he only signed for 3 years. i still can't imagine kimi in red though.

Me neither!

Red isn't the best colour for blondes.

I just can't imagine him after race: red suit, red face...

you know what i think? kimi should dye his hair brown. then he'd look good in red! whatcha think?

chinese GP was...well, okay. alonso's face on the podium said it all. there was even a point i though Fisi will win! hello, this was all about the schumi/alonso show and he can't win! i also felt bad for nick. he got demoted to 7th after that accident with rubens at the very last lap. i'm sure he was pissed but knowing nick, he isn't that emotional like other drivers.

Well, he could try! He tried with red hair coulour, so why not brown?

I couldn't belive when I was watching it. I was sure it's going to be a Renault 1-2 or 1-3, but I was sure it's NOT possible to lose something like that. Too many mistakes from Renault, they just handed the victory to MS.

[goodnightboy]

I agree. Too many mistakes from Renault - the tyre thing was bad enough, but to screw up the second pit stop?

And did you hear about Alonso's allegations of Renault wanting him to lose to Schumi on purpose? He said that they were only interested in the constructors' championship, not the drivers', especially with him leaving. Today the papers said that Renault were behind Alonso, and I don't think it's them wanting to sabotage him, but still. I was shocked.

Yeah, I heard. Fernando should stop whining, because Renault gave him everything he needed to win in 2005 and 2006. Look at Kimi, he's great, but McLaren didn't give him a car to win. First I think it was a huge mistake leaving Renault, but I'm sure Renault is for Alonso, because winning WDC means bigger chances in winning WCC. He can't complain, all teams make pit stop errors (Ferrari, Honda, McLaren, BMW etc.) and drivers don't start to shout, that the team is sabotaging their chances. Secondly, they told Fisi to turn the revs down! So that Alonso could overtake him. It was very stupid attacking his own team in final stages of championship.

[goodnightboy]

I suppose he was just pissed, but still. Not a very professional thing to do.
