Vettel to replace Alonso at Ferrari

[zac510]

The longer this question goes unanswered the more ludicrous the prophecies become!

Can Seb speak Italian? I think it is a big help if he can..

Perhaps Vettel will rely on Kimi to articulate the finer points of life at Fezza.

Yeah he can, apparently he chatted to the Torro Rosso team members in Italian.

Geez, I am getting old, I had forgot about his earlier drive at STR. Time for him to brush up on his Italiano.

I see the tiniest flaw in this plan

I think we might get to 100 pages before the McLaren board announce their decision.

Doesn't Bernie always make sure that there is a GP (usually the Canadian?) on Le Mans weekend, so that current F1 drivers can't take part?

Can't see Honda or Porsche agreeing to this either, which means its either BS or.....

Porsche are running a 3rd car at Le Mans so they have three more seats to fill.

The ice cream shop in the village is much better than the big one in Maranello town?

Gelato must have been the first word Kimi learnt when he went there in 2007.

The board minutes might well run to 100 pages. Easy when you consider that Ronspeak involves 3 long words for every short one....

Can the thread title be changed now? Maybe?

Seb: Hey Kimi, can you show me around the town?
Kimi: OK.
<one wordless 20 minute drive around Maranello at inappropriate speed later>
Seb: Thanks.
Kimi: .

Was about to post this! Saw it earlier and immediately thought Jenson. fk it Jenson, do it!

Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt, Phil Hill and Mike Hawthorn. Have any other F1 Champions won at Le Mans (outright) too? It appears to be 42 years since Graham Hill won it. Illustrious company and something to make up for Alonso's (and Button's) likely difficulty in beating the Mercedes over the next couple of years.

All for it.

Alot of people forget about his pre RBR days.. especially the day he won his first race in the Toro Rosso.

Well it was a long time and a lot of titles ago ....

How funny would would it be if both Alonso and Button ended up in that 3rd Porker and Ron was left with nobody.

Didn't DC say that Kimi is actually quite fun and has a great sense of humour, especially when he has had a few to drink?

Quite a few people, including Martin Brundle, have said that Kimi is a very different character when he's away from the media spotlight. If I remember correctly, Brundle said he had trouble getting Kimi to shut up.

You see the real Kimi every so often. You saw it on the lawnmower racing. He just hates corporate bullst and PR. I think he also plays it up a bit because you can often catch a twinkle in his eye when he delivers one of his unhelpful monosyllabic replies.
