He looked pretty forlorn selling a FIAT in the NOTW this morning. Read something about him being Jean Todts Assistant. There when Kimi drives for advice. Wierd?
My guess, "Thanks Massa for keeping the seat warm, now its my go" I expect him back in the car next season.
As fantastic as it would be (imo), I don't think we'll see the man behind the wheel of an F1 car again. He seems too measured, too calculating; not worth the risk when you're made for life and have a young family i'd imagine.
