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

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

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
