Even if it was true, no one would admit it.

Doesn't Kimi have a two year contract? And Alonso too? I doubt they are going anywhere for next year. After that, who knows, probably no one at this point.

Did you notice the 2 replacements? Rosburg and Michael, both German, the nationality of the newpaper? yes thats right.

wishful thinking.

i actually believe that kimi is the fastest driver on the grid, the car he is in is not fast enough, and blame is being pointed elsewhere

sounds like ferrari reverting to early 90's politico mode if you ask me

Where does that place Massa in the "fastest" stakes :D

BTW - I love rumours like this; it makes for some interesting speculations - who to where & when stuff.........

Latest silly season rumours have it that Gené and Bourdais will drive for Toro Rosso in 2008, once Berger will dump Speed and Liuzzi.

And this new rumour suggests that Raikkonen will leave Ferrari at the end of the year and will be replaced by Hamilton or Rosberg, and the finn will replace an unemployed Ralf Schumacher at Toyota.

The Toro Rosso speculation seems highly plausible, but Raikkonen out of Ferrari by October or Hamilton going anywhere is just one of those stories created with the sole purpose to sell more newspapers.

I believe that STR is really close in getting the chassis and engine package from ferrari?
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

One of the more speculative, emotional, just plain dumb articles printed by a press that doesn't know much in the first place. Come on, Hamilton leaving McLaren? Why? Because they have given him everything needed to win races and the title? And Shu coming out of retirement? Yea, sure, and pigs will fly. I really wish those who write such articles had some facts to base their premises on.

Kimi will leave Ferrari at some point. I think everyone expected him to step right into Schumachers shoes and it just isn't happening.
