Raikkonen's lucrative Ferrari offer

Kimi Raikkonen may have been offered a staggering $190m to drive for Ferrari from 2007-2011.

That's the advice of well-connected grand prix paddock resident, and former F1 driver, Martin Brundle. Today, the Briton is David Coulthard's manager and commentator for British channel ITV.

The 46-year-old told the Sunday Times: ''I wouldn't sign any driver for a fixed five years, not even Kimi, as too much can change in that time.''

But Brundle, who raced 158 grands prix for teams like Jordan and McLaren, continued: ''Good luck to them is what I say, because you're worth what somebody will pay you.''

Meanwhile, if you listen to the whispers around the Ferrari garage, its once grandiose budget is actually facing yearly cutbacks these days. It is with further surprise, then, that the princely sum of $73m has now apparently been waved in Valentino Rossi's face as the MotoGP ace decides whether or not to make the F1 switch in 2007.

And, in the same edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, 26-year-old Rossi refused to respond to Renault boss Flavio Briatore's complaint that the Italian champion behaves like a kindergarten child.

Rossi said: ''I don't think he and I could ever get along.''

$190m over 5 years :eek:

$38m a year :eek:

He'd still have some racing years after that - I'd be tempted to take it.

However - would the Italians like Raikkonen? Italians are passonate and make there feelings well known..Raikkonen on the other hand doesn't...

FIA to investigate Fisico's helmet

FIA, the Formula 1 governing body, will investigate Giancarlo Fisichella's helmet, following the big crash the Italian suffered at Spa.

It is understood that Fisichella's mandatory carbon- fibre helmet was scratched and gouged, something that prove how serious the impact was.

JV's not guaranteed a BMW race-seat

Just because Jacques Villeneuve has a year to run on his Sauber contract doesn't mean he'll drive for BMW in 2006. That's according to BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen.

Villeneuve has claimed numerous times since BMW announced they'd purchased Sauber that his two-year contract with the Swiss-based outfit would keep him there for another year.

"Of course it's certain," he recently told F1-Racing magazine. "Why is it not certain? I have a contract. Contracts are quite powerful things."

"Besides, there's no indication that BMW are unhappy with the fact of my contract. So, there’s no reason for me to be worried."

However, that's not entirely true as according to Theissen, Villeneuve should worry because it's not yet guaranteed that he'll partner Nick Heidfeld in BMW's first season in F1.

"We have been fully focused on getting Nick under contract for next year in the first instance and now we are looking into the other issue," Theissen told Reuters when asked about Villeneuve.

"Apparently we all saw that even a World Champion cannot return after a period of being out of the sport and be competitive right from the start. So Jacques's first half of the season was certainly not encouraging."

"Now he is catching up and we just decided we wanted to see him in the second half of the season. We don't see ourselves under any time pressure but that's on our table now."

"You will see the definite line-up at the first race."

Theissen added: "Anything can happen in Formula One."

At least. Wouldn't mind seing Albers, Doornbos, Karthikeyan and Monteiro in testing roles next year. Don't think any of them are good enough for a race seat. Especially with Midland and Red Bull taking over next year.

Although apparently Midland are still going to take pay drivers. By the sounds of it the Russian who owns Midland isn't putting much if any money in at all.

I'm not sure about Monterio, he seems do have done well in the last few weeks. Less that a second behind Fisichella in qualifying isn't too bad I don't think, and IIRC, he did ok at Spa a few weeks ago, so he may have some potential in him to drive for a better team as a second driver at some point.
 
He has improved a lot - however I reckon there's more that could come from that car with a more experienced driver.

Most of it's issues seem to be at least partially setup based.

Davidson was 2 seconds a lap faster than Monteiro and 1.5s a lap faster than their best times around Silverstone.
