Kimi confirmed

**ntukza** · 12th September 2013, 20:40

Is this how things will be on here until 2014?

**Ed Harley** · 12th September 2013, 20:41

As far as I can see this is a conversation, not an argument.

Kimi performed very well in 2007 and 2008 in all honesty, 2008 he did have some bad luck with France, Canada and was it Schumacher putting him on wet tyres in the dry? Had he won at Spa then 2008 might have been very different anyway, I personally had no real problems with him. I think it was the 3rd race of 2009 at Malaysia that he declared the title fight over and seemed to give up somewhat, then he seemed to return to form which was probably when he realised his drive was under threat. I will give Kimi my support again when he comes back to Ferrari and will just expect he gives 100% every race which is all any fan can really ask for.

Welcome aboard, mate.

Totally agree. At the end of the day we just want the team to be successful.

Best post by Greig by a mile

Still took alot of time to give Kimi that fair play in this thread!

Now we know Greig does not carry any irrational hatred for Kimi, just his fans

Greig hates no one, really. He (and I) get a tad annoyed at Kimi-droolers, that's all.

Again: I could not care less which of our drivers wins the WDC as long as we do (and win the WCC). Simple as that.

Didn't realise you were timing me, I said much the same about Kimi the other week maybe you missed it....

Since I have never heard Kimi to use this excuse, and not that many others either, how about you stop lying?

I have heard it over and over, I was here when he was at Ferrari, were you? I never said Kimi said it, his fans have though as you admit.

There is even a whole Kimi blog site that documents how Ferrari favoured Massa, but yeah I am lying....

What you hear at forum is one thing, and I don't deny that some Kimi fans are as capable of creating alternate realities as some of the other drivers fans.
However, I called you a liar since your post gave out as if Kimi had said it himself. I am sorry if I misread you. But maybe you are more exact in future? :)

**REDARMYSOJA** · 12th September 2013, 21:52

Liar, liar pants on fire.

No it never, you just leapt in with your superKimi costume on.

And you sir, do not hold back on making fun accusations. That makes you something of a paranoid since you have not seen me make those kinds of accusations on other drivers and their fans.

**Poltergeistes** · 12th September 2013, 21:58

Greig is going crazy and it's only past the 24 hrs since the bombastic news

Greig relax, it will be fine, meanwhile, have an ice cream in this malasyan heat, or perhaps a coke? also don't forget to stay out of the sun when you go to your yatch by the track in monaco to watch the rest of the race ok?

I think I am having a meltdown

**durden** · 12th September 2013, 22:06

Very excited to have Kimi back. Great driver combo. Team gives them a good car, we'll see a magical year.

I think we are all going to melt down at least once.

We should make a pool on who snaps first, or well, who snaps second since Greig already has.

**brembo man** · 12th September 2013, 22:27

In all honesty, can anyone here say they would refuse 32 million to stay home for 2 years and race anywhere but F1 as was the case? Ferrari asked him to go, Kimi didn't make that deal for himself, they did. Hell! I would have left smiling for 28 million.

**Uzair Ahmed** · 12th September 2013, 22:27

If kimi brings mark slade with him it's really childish of him

**Lucky Dodo** · 12th September 2013, 22:28

So true, hmm wait, what?

That tapatalk advert is so annoying- no, he didn't, because Monte said 'we don't need that we have the best people already' while Fernando was busy trying to lure some guys over from the RB team. Big mistake from Monte.
