Should Kimi wait for Ferrari to bring a really fast car again to the F1 paddocks? ;)

Kimi will still be with Ferrari next year,Alonso will replace him in 2011...Santander the Spanish bank are also switching their sponsorship from McLaren to Ferrari from next season to get ready for Alonso's arrival in 2011 (Spanish sponsor/Spanish driver)

I think it's a mistake if Ferrari dismiss Kimi early. He's shown that he can still perform if given a proper car. Plus all of the millions of euros Ferrari will waste to pay him off, all for what? Alonso? No doubt Alonso is a great driver but it seems like they're trying to fix something that ain't broke.

Alonso is a great driver, but Kimi is ice cool man! if there's a problem he cool down not like Alonso who doesn't take any nonsense, remember in 2007 what happen, of course Hamilton was a trouble guy out there. From 2002 - 2006, Kimi had real patience, even though his car was not reliable, so if they throw Kimi out early, then Ferrari are just dumb.

If Ferrari is wise, they hire Alonso and perhaps Vettel. They have to think about the future and both Raik?nnen and Massa do't have the finishing touch to be a champion (anymore). It could well be that Massa has problems to drive on the edge (or sometimes go over it). It is not that he will forget how to drive, but it is very well possible he won't succeed anymore on the highest level. I have never seen the talent of Raik?nen. Even if he has been F1 champion. When the Ferrari was of a higher level than the other teams, he only had to give 80% or so. But now the competition is stronger, he is still only giving 80%. He is too Finnish to show it's teeth.

I think Mclaren might have a good car next year as will Ferrari, but a Hamilton-Raikkonen combo sounds quite interesting. There's been too much talk about Alonso joining Ferrari next year to totally ignore him coming in.

Raikkonen would have a real problem playing in the Hamilton show which is McLaren...
