Yeah, they more or less took off so the rest of the field wasn't even a factor. When they lapped the field they were blue flaged through to the finish line. I do not think this will be the case this year...but who knows...if it happened once, it could happen again!

Later, Ken

Im not sure why that would not let it happen, but i would put money on the fact that Loab would not finish a race in the point scoring places if he races a whole season.

That won't happen until 2011 when Kimi comes back.

Good point....assuming he actually returns. I think Kimi is done.

I really think if he could he would do both. A lot of going to depend on how this season goes for him and if any spots open up in F1 that are attractive enough for him.

Agreed. If he can be competitive in the WRC and nothing in F1 is open that could put him at the front of the grid, he'll stay in Rallying.

^^^ Of the 4 teams that he would consider signing with, the only one that I can think of with a legitimate shot of having an open seat for him next year is McLaren, which would only happen if Jenson doesn't adjust well to his new team/car. Otherwise, the odds are just too far off to think that something will happen to open up a seat at Mercedes, Ferrari, or Red Bull.

I think Kimi goes for what gets his adrenaline pumping. Personally I think he's done with F1. His best drives were when he was with McLaren driving ***** to the wall. The worst thing that happened for him was winning a championship in his first year with Ferrari. He has nothing to shoot for, and why try when you're getting paid as much as he was.

He still had moments last year where is looked excited and like the Kimi of old... they just didn't last the whole race. Im just glad that i will get to watch him race cars still, whether it on tarmac, gravel, or snow.

No doubt, but if he was able to push Vettel for Red Bull supremacy last year, then odds are good that he has at least a couple more years left in him.....at least in my opinion.

In an instant, but if they agreed with us, then it would stand to reason that they wouldn't wait until next year to give him a chance with their team. Hard to tell for sure though. When is Webber's contract up anyway?

I am not sure how long Webbers contract is for.


Brawn is another team that could have some turn over, Rosberg still has never really proven him self and MS is up there in years.
