!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! today reported that Kimi signed a contract to drive for Ferrari again. The italians made him quite a good offer including sponsorship of his sport teams (motorcross and icehockey).

If this is true the silly season gets really interesting. Red Bulls second seat is still open, and Alonso never was a fan of hard team duels (Mclaren 2007 anyone?). Mateschitz is a big fan of 'nando, so a move could actually be possible.

This would give us another 2 vacant places a Lotus F1 and Ferrari. Di Resta, Sutil, Hülkenberg, Kobayashi,...

My guess: Kimi takes the good offer by Ferrari, Alonso will try to get to RedBull and if it doesn't work out he will stay.
Hülkenberg already was at Lotus to have a seat made earlier this year, so he will be looking to leave Sauber. Ferrari also has Hülkenberg on the list as a potential no.2 driver. Sadly I don't see Kobayashi in any of the top cars.
And Grosjean will stay with Lotus if he doesn't kill anyone in Spa.

That Finnish media site is getting all the page views today, that's for sure.

I'm sorry, but my dislike of Ferrari outweighs my like of Kimi. If he joins them I won't be routing for him anymore (but I will still like him and his antics).

If 'nando doesn't like hard team duels, why on Earth would he want to go to Red Bull?

Because it would be worth it. Having the fastest car is something 'nando didn't have since 2007. I think he would like to prove that he is equal to Vettel and his (soon to be four?) titles.

I can already see the headlines in my head: "Alonso lashes out at team charging unequal equipment" lol
