Kimi back to Ferrari!!!!

Ferrari just signed Kimi for 2014 & 2015!!! Will Alonso stay and make a dream team, or does he bail for Vettel and Red Bull?

In reply to Javelin:

So, just how do you know something that hasn't been reported?

There are some sources in Europe reporting this and some posts on Kimi's facebook page that imply the move.

It's all over my Motorsports and F1 news sites. I'll link them when I get to a computer.

If it's true, I am assuming Massa will be out which (most likely) will end his career in F1. Of course there has been speculation that Alonso may go to Red Bull with Webber leaving. F1 is always a bit of a circus.

What I am seeing is that Kimi was offered by Ferrari. No deal yet. It is rumored to be more lucrative than Red Bulls offer, however. I still think Kimi to Red Bull make the most sense. For him, at least.

That's what I am finding too. No hard confirmation yet. And I agree, Red Bull would make more sense. Won't that be a team, Seb and Kimi? Things could get interesting!

I really hope Alonso stays at Ferrari and Kimi doesn't go to Ferrari. I hate Alonso and Ferrari and I do like Kimi so it will just make things difficult for me.

Leave him alone. He knows what he is doing.

There's no way Seb would sit still for it. He's got to have all the cool toys and be #1 whereas Kimi wouldn't sit still for that.

It is? I'm not seeing it on my usual sites (Sky Sports, Autosport, Speed TV, NBCSN).

I'm not seeing it anywhere either, not to mention, it doesn't make any sense.

Why he go back to a team that terminated his contract to bring FAlonso AND hasn't had a championship winning car since he left.

I'm hoping he stays at Lotus.

Even Crash.net which will post just about anything isn't mentioning it.

Alonso has proven that he doesn't play well with others (of his equal or better), and after his comments about wanting someone else's car, maybe Ferrari is dealing him. Probably not likely, though.

I am pretty close with everyone over at Ferrari F1 and I haven't even heard that yet.

Oh wait, I am close with the weird guy down at the doughnut shop. Nevermind.

This could be one of the most interesting years yet. With the new (wimped out) rules and cars is going to be worth the effort to even follow it.

Forced fuel efficiency, what happened to driving the damned things like a race car.

Sheesh

I keep checking the different news outlets, too, and haven't seen anything. One one hand, I couldn't see him playing second fiddle to Alonso. Then again, I couldn't see him playing second fiddle to Vettel, either, but I think he'd be able to be more aggressive towards Vettel than Alonso.

If it's true, I feel sorry for Massa.....

Could you imagine, though, if Kimi went to Ferrari and Red Bull bought out Alonso's contract? Red Bull would either dominate 1 and 2 or the two drivers would beat each other up so much, that the team would implode....

Looks to be an exciting year, regardless.

Noooo I want to root for the underdog and Kimi can't be an underdog at Ferrari. Ferrari's the second closest thing F1 has to a villain, after Bernie

No, Red Bull'd assplode! We'd probably see scenes of fist fights or Alonso temper tantrums.

Can you see Kimmie after Seb passed him against team orders, I think that the German would recover most of his faculties in the quality German medical system.

Actually, no. I seriously doubt Kimi would let him pass......

Worn out tires make resistance difficult, even for Kimi

Ugh, I hope Kimi doesn't go back to Ferrari. I hate Ferrari's F1 team, they're like the Jersey Shore of F1.

I'm hoping he stays at Lotus, but I would enjoy seeing him beat up Seb at RB.
