Räikkönen too expensive, says Brawn
Formula One news: Räikkönen too expensive, says Brawn - GPUpdate.net Formula One
With Williams having confirmed its 2010 driver line-up this week, the remaining seats at the Brawn and McLaren teams are now the talking points, with Nico Rosberg and Kimi Räikkönen favourites to fill the vacancies. The German looks the most likely man to move to the World Champion team, however, after Principal Ross Brawn questioned the desired salary of the 2007 World Champion.
With Rubens Barrichello having made the switch from Brawn to Williams for next season, Rosberg's move to the Brackley team would be an effective swapping of seats. "We will find a solution," Brawn is quoted as saying by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
However, what does Ross make of the requested figures from the man who was the highest-paid driver on the grid in 2009? "Too expensive," the Englishman said of Räikkönen. "His management negotiate as if there is no seperation from Ferrari."
With only six drivers confirmed so far for the 26-car grid of next year, word continues to circulate that a Brawn move by Rosberg could be accompanied by a part Mercedes buy-out of the team.
