Ferrari to announce Kimi's deal at San Marino GP?

If this is true, I hope to see some fireworks at both Mclaren and Ferrari team.

Kimi leaving for Ferrari? Seems definitely now.
Norbert Haug has denied that McLaren-Mercedes' Kimi Raikkonen is already a signed-and-sealed Ferrari driver for 2007.
The German, Mercedes' competition director, told Motorsport Aktuell that he did not believe recent reports that McLaren's Finn penned a contract with the red-coloured team more than a full year ago.
''I can not imagine that such a thing would happen behind our backs,'' said German Haug.
He said it would not make sense for a top driver to have committed to Ferrari last year.
''If you imagine, (Raikkonen) was sitting in the fastest car in the business, and Ferrari was in crisis.''
Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz, however, told the same publication that he believed Raikkonen was definitely Ferrari-bound.

seems all the rumors were rubbish. so where was the announcement so many people were sure was coming?
-
It seems like Kimi has already decided on his future and mclaren will annouce their drivers line up for 2007 in the next 3 weeks. Did kimi sign for Mclaren? Why Mclaren need 3 weeks to annouce Alonso team mate when he only requires 1 or 2 days to annouce alonso's deal?
I believe Ferrari might choose to make their annoucement on kimi before mclaren could formalize their contract with a new driver. That to me will be a slap on the face for Ron and that will be for what he did to Flavio on alonso contract with Mclaren.

Kimi kenna scold by Ron??? i am sure that wave he did infront of the cockpit camera was his reply to Ron... (Bye Bye) -
Kimi is notorious for being late... he even slept bf race at his debut GPOriginally posted by Gazelle:http://f1.racing-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/060514085030.shtml

sleeping before the race is something many drivers do. Some believe it helps them to relax and be focus during the race. As for kimi, I know he is notorious for getting drunk!!Originally posted by SBS9828X:Kimi is notorious for being late... he even slept bf race at his debut GP -
There is a rumour that Flavio Briatore might have already signed kimi for 2007.
The deal is worth around $64m and it also allow kimi to generate his own income through personal sponsors. (similar to David Beckham's type of deal).
The question is, Is maclaren paying Alonso more that this? -
mercedes are not good enough for kimi and motoya is not good enough for mercedes.
-
Hmm.... kimi be an asset or a liability to Ferrari.
kimi will take over massa or M.s? -
It is not confirm if Kimi will be heading for Ferrari, but it is most definitely he will be out of mclaren. If MS retire, Kimi is likely to join Ferrari. If MS stay, Kimi might choose to join Renault.Originally posted by sand king:Hmm.... kimi be an asset or a liability to Ferrari.
kimi will take over massa or M.s?
Yes, he will be an asset for any teams that get him, that is why he is commanding a higher market value than WDC alonso. -
Pretty sure its going to happen this sunday..Originally posted by HENG@:seems all the rumors were rubbish. so where was the announcement so many people were sure was coming? -
bets on MS to reitre this year
-
kimi really deserves a better car. McClaren are just not good enough.
-
thats what I think too, but die hard mcclaren fans will think otherwise. isnt that obvious that mclaren is suffering without newey?Originally posted by dragg:kimi really deserves a better car. McClaren are just not good enough. -
Its official Kimi Massa at Ferrari...I wonder is Ron Dennis is going to drive alongside Alonso or what...

alonso will be joining mcClaren next season!!
-
that was decided around last yearOriginally posted by dragg:alonso will be joining mcClaren next season!! -
Heard from inside source that JW was really pissed with Mclaren for lossing both JPM and now Kimi.
-
And he is already starting to regret it. Alonso is a hot blooded spanish and if Mclaren is unable to give him a winning car, I am pretty sure his relationship will ron will turn sour...thats is Ron is still around next year..Originally posted by dragg:alonso will be joining mcClaren next season!! -
why move from a winning manufacturer to an inconsistent one?Originally posted by Gazelle:And he is already starting to regret it.

because mclaren was really strong last year and he must have signed the contract without knowing that many of the key engineers are leaving the team.Originally posted by dragg:why move from a winning manufacturer to an inconsistent one?
But like all die hard fan of mclaren, they will always say that the team can continue their winning ways without Newey and his team..heheh..but the sad truth is that till now, with only 3 races left this season, mclaren has yet to win a single race. I repeat, not a single race despite having one the quickest driver and biggest budget.
