    After placing second today Kimi did not smile once while on the podium, which has me thinking that he is less than happy at Ferrari and it seems that some Ferrari supporters aren't too fond of Kimi, so do you all think that he will be racing for Ferrari next season?

    Ehh, it's just how he is. Have you ever seen him happy? I haven't. Even when he wins he doesn't show any emotion.

    It's a big difference compared to Schumi who when he won, it looked like it was his first.

    are you kidding me? Just cause he placed 2nd doesn't mean he's moving to another team next year. McLaren is having a great year, he'd been there for awhile. What team is he gonna go to - Honda, Renault, BMW? Come on, he's doing fine

    Kimi rarely smiles it seems. I bet he's there next year...

    My take is that he was pretty excited and happy (for Kimi).

    He was jabbering away at the post race interview (most talkative I've seen) and Peter Windsor interrupted him.

    There wasn't much reason to smile today...Massa practically pushed his car home and Lewis won again. That aside, I'd be happy to see Kimi go. Being a top-level driver is only half driving, other half is working with the team to get the car perfect before the race. My impression is that Kimi just hops in and drives on Sunday...certainly no Schumacher work ethic. And he does not represent Ferrari well, the team or brand. I'd rather see ANY other driver on the podium speaking for Ferrari!!!

    It was reported this week during the race that Kimi does not want to test, just race. That to me says he will be on the way out. If alonshole were to come to Ferrari then Im on the way out and will find something else to do on Sunday mornings. Lets hope that Lewis is plenty pissed with the McCheater team by the end of this season.

    My god, Alonso in a Ferrari? I should hope the universe would collapse if that were to happen and end the misery.

    That would make me very, very sad....
    Lewis Hamilton on the other hand is one driver I would love to see in a Ferrari.

    I would think Kimi would not play 2nd fiddle to any of the mentioned drivers and would leave to pursue a career in the drinking industry. :)

    There is a problem if its true he doesnt want or like to test though..

    Give Scott Speed a call, I hear he has some free time. He'd actually work weekdays while Kimi's sleeping off karaoke night...

    This is Kimi after the British GP win.....ecstatic as ever....

    He's not an up-and-down kind of guy. Heikki said it best during an episode of Inside Grand Prix: "We're Finnish, we live in the cold. When we have good or bad days, they're not much different, we just stay in the middle." (or something similar, dorry for not having the exact quote, but I won't forget what he tried to say)

    I dunno what you guys expect from the guy, lately he has outperformed his teammate the last 4 races or so and getting second position at a track that McLaren would dominate is pretty impressive to me, as is getting the fastest lap.
    It sounds to me like some of you guys are better of wathing American Idol or something where you will see lots of great fake smiles!

    Ferrari should not have done well in Hungary, and Massa showed it. Kimi drove with a sense of perfection that really took me back. The commentators even raved about his precise handling of the car on what is certainly not friendly to the long wheelbase of the Ferrari.

    I don't mind Massa, but they both need to get it in gear fast.

    If i had my choice I would want Hamilton and as much as I cant stand Alonso... him as well.


    Schumi come back....
