Hilarious clip of Kimi, very good. He would rather drop trowel than be at the "Pele presentation". I've always been amused by his super dry personality, especially given he's an F1 driver. Is there anyone who doesn't think he is going to call it quits after this year and Alonzo step in? The only way he fits in at Brawn next year is if Button does not win this year. If Button wins, he returns as No. 1 Brawn driver. I can't see Kimi replacing Rubens along side Button the champion. Kimi's gonna peace out for sure.

i disagree. button winning the wdc would give kimi more motivation to join brawn, he would be in a championship capable car and we all know he has what it takes to win. ross would rather have a 30 year old former wdc in his second car than simply a 37 year old race winner. the only problems in my mind of this working out are ferrari's willingness to pay up to get out of the contract or working out some deal to nullify any clause allowing him to drive for someone else. also, brawn will need the finances to be able to pay a driver of kimi's stature. if they can get a decent title sponsor i would think this deal would have a much higher probability of going down. regardless, i would like to see him stay in F1, he is a welcome counterpoint to some of the more bland drivers on the grid.
