Raikonens worlds going to get shook up hard... Montoya, as good as he is, hasnt had his match, and Kimis had the team behind him. With a current (and looking to be back to back) champion about to arrive, things are going to change.

Montoya back to NASCAR is a big one.

I Doubt It Will Happen. Raikonnen Going To Ferrari Or Renault Is More Likely

Would Be Good Though If It Happened. Would Get To See Who Has The Goods!

yeah mate thats so true.. i see the connection with kimi and mclaren and like it was with häkkinen with mclaren.,. they were both bloody good drivers.. ... BUT with backing from ron dennis. sad to see montoya go, esp so fast like leaving before this weekend.. crazy shit but yeah... maybe with better reliability it be a good matchup if kimi and fernando go head to head.. be damn competitive.. rewind suzuka 1989 prost vs senna

id hate to see räikkönen to go to ferrari or renault.. that means i gotta change my wardrobe!.. hehe... since i got some finn in me its natural that i go for 'finn' based drivers ie. häkkinen, räikkönen, salo, rosberg maybe a bit biased but hey.. we have produced some damn good drivers

IMO... I dont know how Alonso will go. He is driving a car that is very well developed and hooked up to the road. Kimi has the ability to drive thru a cars problems as shown last year, however this years Mclaren is just not powerful enough. With the new rules on engine config and aero, a poorly balanced car doesnt have the ability to be compensated for by the extra horsepower the V10 had.
Question is.. irresective of Kimi staying or going, will Alonso be able to bring an inferior car up to P1?

PS. I have been a Mclaren fan since I can remember so I'm not rubbishing a team who has achieved so much in LESS time than the supposed "best team in F1"

The burning question is who is going to get alonso seat? Surely webber must be a huge chance. Williams have done nothing and sure some of the accidents have been webbers fault but the least they could do would be to provide a semi reliable car.

Renault's seat is a lottery. They dont wanna spend big bucks. Webber has not had a good run with Williams and in F1 you are only as good as your last race.

Watch out for the likes of Lewis Hamilton... Uncle Ron is a smart bugger and may farm him out to Renault as a training exercise. Maybe Midland F1 with Merc power. Either way Ron will wanna get someone ready to take over as the next great McLaren hope in a couple of years time.

Who is good enough to take Alonso's place?

If the above is true, Webbers in with a shot.

F1 is massively political, and Webbers connections might just win him the spot.
