I can't imagine him staying in F1. Not unless his Brazilian popularity brings a lot of cash with it. The smaller teams need pay drivers and the bigger teams have better options.

 

I could see him going back to Sauber, if it wasn't the fact that Sauber unfortunately need two pay drivers. As do Williams. So he's probably out of a drive, but I imagine he'll stay on at Ferrari as a test/reserve/simulator driver for what that's worth.

Even though the BBC have decided it's now fact, I still find the Raikonnen at Ferrari story hard to believe. They must have short memories at Ferrari.

 

Button's not yet formally secured his seat.

There is speculation that his seat is in the mix somewhere.

 

Button to TR, Massa to McLaren

 

If Kimi goes to Ferrari I think the radio conversations between him and Rob Smedley could be the highlight of next season!

 

I can only see that happening if Ferrari sponsor his seat, who knows maybe they feel they really owe it to him.

 

Massa's been at Ferrari since 2006, that's 8 years including this one. Apart from Mark Webber (7 years at Red Bull), none of the current drivers come close to that. Clearly he's been doing something right.

 

Massa's announced he's leaving Ferrari...

I'd bet that's pissed off a few people.

I agree with this, would find it incredible if they employed Kimi.

 

Smedley thinks he is a f@#king racing driver, he would piss me off listening to him in my ear, Kimi will tell him to 'f@#k off smedley I know what I am doing'.... if it's true Kimi is going of course, which I doubt.
