Raikkonen set for a second stint at McLaren?

Kimi Raikkonen has signed an "outline agreement" to kick off a second tenure with the McLaren team beginning next season, the Mirror newspaper reported on Sunday.

The British newspaper said the 29-year-old Finn, who raced with the Woking based outfit between 2002 and 2006, must first reach an agreement with Ferrari, with whom he is under contract for one more season.

The Mirror cited "paddock sources" in claiming that Raikkonen is prepared to vacate his contracted Ferrari seat in 2010, but only if the famous Italian outfit pays his salary. The newspaper estimated Raikkonen's 2010 Ferrari contract at nearly US $49m.

The report also said the news ties in with Nico Rosberg's link with Brawn and the Brackley team's burgeoning relationship with Mercedes-Benz.

The German manufacturer Mercedes was said to be pushing for Rosberg to replace Heikki Kovalainen at McLaren, but may now have resolved to push the German driver to Brawn and increase its involvement with the Ross Brawn-led outfit.

If this is true i can see alonso coming to Ferrari

the money the get these days really is obscene. I mean kimi is a great bloke. love the guy. and it's a full on job, consumes your whole lift, and you don't get a 4 year degree to get it, you get racing every weekend from when you're 5 years old in karts till your 25 in F3 and even then you have probably a 1 in 10,000 shot at it. but fck me dead the money they get for what is a great job is just not in touch with reality.

The top guys wouldn't get paid that much if any track-day warrior (like me, f'rinstance) could do what they do.

It's those consistent tenths of a second per lap that make the difference between the World Champ drivers and the merely excellent.

*insert clown music

suspended two year ban... in clear english means... no punishment

Flava Flav got himself a nice pounding tho

For an unlimited period, the FIA does not intend to sanction any International Event, Championship, Cup, Trophy, Challenge or Series involving Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever, or grant any license to any Team or other entity engaging Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever.

It also hereby instructs all officials present at FIA-sanctioned events not to permit Mr. Briatore access to any areas under the FIA's jurisdiction

Still feel for Pat Symonds, always had a massive amount of respect for the guy to get such a small team to embarrass the big spending boys

...suspended two year ban... in clear english means... no punishment

what a f**king joke.

Mclaren fined $100000000 and lost all their points for having some data from another team that they didn't use.

Renault fixes a race by causing a crash and gets......no penalty at all (sif they are going to get caught doing this again, no-one has been found guilty of race fixing in my memory even with some of MS's tricks)

Alonso even keeps his points for the race that was fixed WTF?

Imagine if it had been ferrari! FIA would have sent a stern letter.

I wonder what will happen to GP2 (FB owns the series) and the WSR (mechachrome supplies the engines, FB owns Mecachrome) if the FIA will not allow FB to have anything to do with them?

He has to relinquish control and interests in businesses sanctioned by FIA. Its a farking joke. I like Renault but this is a crock of shit and disgraceful the way its been handled. Effectiveyl a slap on the wrist because they know there is genuine concern that Renault and Toyota are going to walk .

Worlds premier motorsport my ass, and they know it it doesnt look good if 4 teams leave in 12 months. Worst of all is hs hackness. If my boss asked me to sign dodgy paperwork i would tell him to pull his head in...if he told me to crash and risk injury i would set the guy straight and walk.... His Hackness is a disgrace of a sportsman, with the rest of Renault management disgraceful

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
