Looks like Vettel has been partying like Kimi since last weekend (fast forward to 1:55):

I wonder who the guy in the Lotus gear stood behind him recording the interview on a dictaphone was. He looked very uncomfortable when the subject of money came up.

Raikonnen not to compete in the last two races because of his bad back:

I wonder if a few million Euros might have helped his back ache?

He does have a back injury though, he only just did the Singapore weekend.

In all honesty I don't blame him. The team is now fully behind Grosjean so Kimi is not fighting on equal terms. No Sense trying to cling on to 3rd in the WDC for a team that likely won't pay for the points he nets them when he has a prime opportunity to be fighting fit for the next season that he will be paid for.

That it helps his future team as well is just gravy.

And Massa at Williams, I am made up for Felipe - he will be miles better without that back seat driver Smedley ... what a cock he is.

This does seem to be the rumour. Although unconfirmed by McLaren and the BBC story confirms it in the headline then admits it's not a done deal in the second sentence.

Speculation here
