Raikkonen back to Ferrari

[Life Saab Itch]

Being reported on faecesbook and ttter.

Best driver lineup since Button/Hamilton and Alonso/Hamilton before.

Well done to Ferrari, Alonso and Raikkonen for having the bks to do something that certain other teams are afraid of.


Raikkonen joins an elite of Hawthorn, Ickx, Reggazoni and Berger as drivers to have left Ferrari and later rejoined.

[Amirhussain]

Hope its true, Massa is finished, the Fernando Torres of F1.

[DanielSan]

Is it confirmed that he'll be partnering Alonso? Going to be epic if he is.

[MiniMan64]

Can't imagine Fred being too chuffed with that one!

[VolvoT5]

Not been confirmed yet has it? Even if it is true I half expect Alonso to be off to Mclaren, I can't see him wanting to hang around once the team have so clearly snubbed him.

BBC R4 reporting this this morning seemingly as a 'done deal'

Not confirmed, but every news outlet is reporting it as a done deal.

I'll laugh a lot if Alonso jumps ship. No wonder he was having such a hissy fit.

The only place he could go is Lotus...

There wasn't this level of "it's done" about a potential RBR deal, just "he's in the running".

If thats a done deal its awesome news. I hope Alonso stays and its a proper Ferrari battle i've never liked Alonso and his team dominance. Vetel will have his work cut out next year.

Am I right in thinking the last time a team put two world champions in their cars was Senna and Prost at McLaren in '89?

Well, all his WDC have been with the enstone team, so its not such a daft idea...

As both ferrari seats are up for grabs, do we think Kimi will replace Massa or Alonso?

Trouble is, Fred & Kimi will share Ferrari wins, whilst Vettel will have all the RBR wins, giving him the advantage again.

[Madrabbit]

I can't imagine Kimi is going to want to be the new No.2 driver!

It would be great to see them battling for supremacy in the team and on track, even if it was only for one season!

[valais]

When was the last time 2 WDCs raced together at Ferrari?
