Agreed. I think even BMW will struggle to get a win, but I just have this little tingling feeling that they're going to get lucky and snatch this year.

They(he) certainly did! Loosing the championship was the outcome....which was bad for McLaren but it was great for racing fans(well i certainly enjoyed the struggle

I know I'm late to this one but...I am very good friends with a Finn and from this experience I would say that an outward lack of enthusiasm can be very deceptive. I reckon he has the fire, but we just don't see it.

I used to think exactly like you. I know that it's easy to stereotype but i've seen Kimi all fired up/angry in his last year for McLaren.So he has a pulse
But now i am not so sure. He became the champ with not ONE fighting race things just worked out for him. So it's all smooth sailing as far as he's concerned - stable contract and retirement at ferrari etc. And it shouldn't be like that.

Can't blame him for having it that way though Peter. Wish I were in the same cosy situation in my job.

No i don't blame him at all. It's just the way it is.

Re: F1 2008

It does


Back to 2008: it'd be a shame to lose Super Aguri after such a good season

Re: F1 2008

Heikki, in a recent interview with a Finnish newspaper, mentioned he knew he was going to be dropped by Renault and said he has two interesting offers. McLaren and Super Aguri?

I hope that he gets the McLaren seat. Even though he will be no2 he deserves a decent car(no offence to SA)

Re: F1 2008

Agreed, but it looks like De la Rosa may get it (probably pressure from Santander).

Well I know that they wanted rosberg in there but since he doesn't want to be a no2(and williams is showing a lot of promise) then Heikki is the better choice. De La Whatever is a great test driver

<OFF-TOPIC>Most british man would like to drive the Alfa 8C competizione with Scarlet Johansson in the passenger
6th place is Jeremy Clarckson and the Stig(7th)</OFF-TOPIC>
