Kimi Raikkonen to Renault

[Thomas. PLease.]

Seems like a fair few important people on twitter are talking about Renault announcing Kimi as one of their drivers for 2012. Very interesting!

Seems like a shame for Bruno, especially considering his decent performance this weekend.

renault would say anything for publicity after last years bs i cant see him going there even if that windsor **** claims it.

least not forget that american racing team con he was involved in

 

[Skeeter]

Hmmm...

Forgive me for taking anything Renault say with a truck load of salt...

 

[Mr Men]

Have Renault said anything?

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

Not yet, supposedly to be announced shortly...

To me it makes sense though, Petrov has hardly set the world alight, and I can imagine the team would want a proper lead driver with a proven record, and potential to compete for wins.

 

[Skeeter]

Have Renault said anything?

True.

Forgive me for taking anything said about Renault with a truck load of salt.



Still, would be good to see Kimi back, although I expect the Renault to be midfield at best next year.

Likewise, although I'd expect Kimi to be in a better position to outdrive the car's potential than Petrov.

 

[Skeeter]

Is Petrov confirmed for next year?

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

I was under the impression he has a contract for next season? I suppose that's not to say he couldn't be replaced by Bruno?

Literally everybody is tweeting it though...

Certainly a better option than Williams.

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

Can we put a question mark in the title please.

'Kimi Raikkonen to Renault?'.

Wouldn't be the first time something that was completely fictional got blown out of proportion on Twitter.

That's the downside to Twitter, it's all too easy for total falsehoods to spring out of nowhere and become virtual fact.

 

[Guerrilla]

Would certainly be a better option than Williams based on this years performance.

So it'd be Kimi and Petrov/Senna/Grosjean/whoever else?

I read something about Kimi wanting to buy a share in an F1 team, not sure how true that was but perhaps that is what put the skids on the Williams deal and opened it up for Renault/Lotus?

Yeah I know but there's a difference between a couple lonely voices and the whole F1 paddock tweeting about it

Williams HAVE to go forward........Renault have been going backwards of late

Be nice to consider Kimi and Kubica in 2013 - far better driver lineup than the car really deserves though

Cant see Petrov been forced out considering he seems to bring in more money than Senna does?

[Skeeter]

If Kimi gets one seat, the second seat will go to the highest bidder. How much money is Grojean looking to bring?

 

[Duke]

Kimi & Petrov tbh.

started with peter windsor for some people people take him as someone whos word is gospel.

when his GP team bid was anything other than truthful
