Give me a break Hamad.
Granted that's true but bear in mind Ferrari's capture of Alonso essentially pushed Kimi out. in equal machinery Kimi is the fastest among the grid today.
I concede that he seemed very disengaged last season even more so than usual. Plus he is not the best at developing a car.

But Webber is a has been too old, too slow, too rash

Kimi is too hard on any car, its has nothing to do with the team, He's been in 2 top teams and he always has more DNF's than his team mate. But I do agree with you, Kimi is a better driver than Alonso (EBJ).

Hmmm, I've read DC's autobiography and can't remember reading that. Maybe he has said it but I wasn't quoting him.

agreed. even though im quite fond of webber red bull would be wise to sign up kimi. it will be tough for mark to find a proper drive if he has to leave red bull though.

who knows, i hear he has the stuff to race bikes professionally so maybe he will show up on the tour?

I definitely don't think that Kimi is better than Alonso I believe that Alonso is a much better all rounder. To your point about Kimi's stint at McMerc if it wasn't for Mclaren's dismal reliability Kimi could've challenged Michael in his PRIME

all in all if RBR get Kimi and Mercedes power they will outperform Mclaren and probably even Ferrari. and the veterans won't allow RBR to compete with them on a level playing field IMO

Maybe Kimi replaced Vettel - after Vettel is lured away to Ferrari.

EBJ is indeed a better all rounder, no argument there, but Kimi is a faster and cleaner driver.

Dana, not going to Happen, Vettle will be RBR for at least another season.

I would like to see Kimi back on the grid, but not with Red Bull. I spent $50 of my hard 'earned' cash on a RBR Mark Webber Hat, and I don't want to have to get a new one next year!!!
