Drives for 2007 to be decided very soon…
Aug 31st, 2006 by Haas
With only 10 days remaining to the Italian Grand Prix fans are expecting the futures of Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher(amoung many) to be announced. With news that Ferrari might confirm 3 drivers in Monza and rumors floating around the web about different drivers signing contracts it seems very unclear about what will be the outcome.
Rumors over the internet tell that Kimi has already signed a contract with Renault in Instanbul with a clause that if Michael Retires he will be free to move to Ferrari. Why Renault would agree to such a contract is beyond me… Renault has lead the Drivers and Constructors championship for over a year and a half now and had clearly established itself as the best team in the grid. Any top driver would and should not have any worries about exclusively signing Renault, considering the way they have started the last and this season.
Few weeks back there were rumors about Michael insisting that if he continues Massa be his teammate(I wonder why?). The issue was supposedly argued over by the top management of Ferrari and John Todt agreed with Michael while top man at Ferrari wanted Kimi to partner Michael. There is one universal truth about Ferrari… “What Michael Wants, Michael gets.”
The other intesting rumor came out over 2 weeks back indicating that Hiekki had sighned a contract with Renault. This would go against the Renault announcement that they would sign a top driver over a rookie for next year… The only top driver other that Michael left to decide a seat is Kimi.
My Predictions about the seats:
The Line up I would love for 2007:
Ferrari: Michael and Massa
Renault: Fisichella and Hiekki
Mc Laren: Alonso and Kimi
The Line up I think is most likely(provided Michael does not retire and I dont expect him to):
Ferrari: Michael and Massa
Renault: Kimi and Fisichella
Mc Laren: Alonso and Pedro
(With Hiekki loaned to Toro Rosso for 1/2 seasons)
What do you think the top team line up will be like? Put your predictions in the comments
i think the line that you love is most unlikely to shape up, anyways micheal massa for red team and kimi and fisi for the to be yellow team. and alonso and pedro for the silver team is wat i belive the line-up would be and would love it to be that way. but , i think it would be micheal, kimi for the red team and fisi and heikki for the to be yellow team and alonso and pedro for the silver team. as much as i would hate this line-up this is most likely for me.
