    Not true, you actually launched it in 2009, on the very same day his signing was announced...

    Ferrari could never get the EBD concept to work, not Alonso's fault and their PU sucked in 2014. I don't think Vettel is sharing engineering insight on the PU and that is where they have made their strides

    I am wondering if this delay in the announcement indicates they’re trying to work a deal to keep both racing Ferrari engined equipment…

    Let’s hope. Would love to see Kimi race a couple more years. I’m not yet ready for F1 without number 7.

    Only thing that makes sense. Not sure if I posted it here the other yesterday but I echo your thoughts.

    Marchionne signed Leclerc. Current Ferrari brass wants to keep Kimi. Lawyers present at Monza and announcement should've been yesterday. Perhaps they're working out the deal with Leclerc for 2020 and some fat stacks for next year to stay at Sauber.

    Horner made the comment the other day that Vettel even had development for the engine department. I'm still a bit puzzled on how that works exactly. My only way of how that would logically work is where he wants the power to come in and the engine is developed around that, as sure as hell Vettel isn't spending his time drawing up engine designs, lol.

    Regarding the Kimi - LeClerc situation: Is no news good news? Meaning is there hope of Kimi staying at Ferrari one more year?

    As you know Kimi did score 9 wins for Ferrari 2007-9.

    Oh yes, I do know. Each of these races I have on DVD. I do also know that I was much younger at the time, which was ten years ago. And ten years is an eternity.

    BTW, 33,000 signatures for the petition. Many news sites are talking about it...

    What's crazy is that a petition of 100k signatures in a 30 day period to the US Govt requires an official response. This petition is on track to do that in 2 days.

    If Kimi is canned, I hope he drives the hell out of that car for the balance of the season and drops the mic, I mean steering wheel.

    Passing 48,200 at 10:00; should be 50,000 in an hour or so. Not bad at all for the Iceman...

    This makes me feel good, no matter how it turns out. Kimi has Finnish ice for blood, hope he wins every race for the rest of the season. :)

    Climbing towards 55,000.
    Come on, boys and girls: there are 5,5 millions Finns...One in a hundred? That's low...the Kimster deserves more than that.
    Not counting RoW, of course. But we are not Finns, just mere Mortals; the "sisu" is not for us.

    I’ve signed it, what the heck, Kimi is an awesome number two, he knows his place, but only drives to his place if he is told, and that’s Ferrari’s place to tell him
