Raikkonen who previously drove for Ferrari from 2007-09. When in his debut season for the team, he won the drivers' title ahead of McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso and the last driver to win the world championship for Ferrari. He left the team after a disappointing 2009 season and replaced by new team-mate Fernando Alonso, despite they paid him almost €20 million in 2010 not to drive for the team.
Just like I written from the Massa post, this will be the wrong decision in my opinion, "with a team like Ferrari, they need a number one lead driver and number two driver that can win races when needed like a Rubens Barichello, not two number one drivers in the same team, as I fill that the better number two driver at Ferrari would be either Nico Hülkenberg or Paul di Resta".
But, yet again Ferrari wants to properly challenge Red Bull in the constructors' championship and the drivers' title, and the option is to bring their ex driver back into Ferrari, and scarifying a number two driver maybe the best option to do it. Can they control two number one drivers', time well tell.
Meanwhile at Lotus, Sauber driver Nico Hulkenberg is the hot favourite to fill Raikkonen’s seat next season, with the possibility of Felipe Massa might be up for Raikkonen’s seat as-well. If I was the Lotus team, I would hire both drivers for next season and don't renew Romain Grosjean contact for 2014 as you got a driver with race experience and driver who can be future Formula 1 world champion. Just my opinion at the end of the day.
As for Kimi Raikkonen, good luck at Ferrari. Maybe a second F1 world drivers' title is in future ahead at Ferrari.
End of blog for now, new post soon. Bye.
