Kimi is a World Champion folks. Don't forget that.

and i would agree because ferrari would salivate at having two world champions in their cars. it would be a dream team for them.

They would very likely keep Kimi. It would kinda suck for Massa, though no ones fault but his, that he would end up like Reubens. Renault may be interested in him for 1 year since Alonso would have already developed the 2010 chassis, but he would struggle more than Piquet is this year.

(formula renault cars have 190HP) that is the first step up after karting and he only had 23 races under his belt when he graduated to F1. he is a phenom in the motorsports world.

Least experienced driver to get a Super License ever if I recall correctly.

I just hope Massa gets another chance at a title, he deserves it imo.

Well the other side of the coin is that Kimi was the least experienced driver to get the world championship.

I personally think Kimi and Felipe will stay in the Scuderia. It was the same speculation last year that Alonso was hopping ship. But look where he is now? Same seat.

yes, you are correct. he was barely able to get the mileage (350 klicks) in an F1 car to be eligible.

I see Kimi retiring and going off to a life of vodka, ecstasy, and rallying. I'm totally down with Nando going to Ferrari. However, I could see Kimi and Nando on one team with Nando being extremely competitive, and Kimi not really giving a sh!t.
