am I right in assuming that if that happens, it'll be the first time the Scuderia have released then taken a driver back at a later date?

Gerhard Berger was the last to do that? Have to think about others, probably be stupidly obvious.

And so it is. Mario Andretti did a famous cameo in 82 after Villeneuve and Pironi destroyed themselves/each other. Also Clay Regazzoni.

Felipe Massa has revealed that he will not be at Ferrari next season, with his departure leaving the way open for Kimi Raikkonen to rejoin the team.

Ferrari has spent the last few days finalising its 2014 driver line-up, and it was widely expected that Massa would not be retained.

Ahead of a scheduled appearance at Maranello on Wednesday, Massa duly confirmed that he was looking for fresh opportunities in Formula 1.

In a message that was posted on his Twitter feed, Massa said: "From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari.

Analysis: Lotus ready with 2014 plan B

"I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together.

"Thank you also to my wife and all of my family, to my fans and all my sponsors. From each one of you I have always received a great support!

"Right now I want to push as hard as possible with Ferrari for the remaining seven races.

"For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the championship, which remains my greatest objective."

Did massa just grow a backbone or are Ferrari giving him a chance to leave with dignity?

Well bye-bye Massa! Nice guy, gave it a nudge and deserved to rob Hamilton of his WDC but his time has come

.

Shame be could not carry his form from late last year into this season...but alas, goneski. PLEASE DO NOT LET HIM END UP AT LOTUS!!111

Why?

Massa and Grosjean would be great crash buddy's..

Many lols would be had. :P

I cant see Kimi going back to Fezz when it was them that killed his interest in F1...but he wants a competitive car. Fezz want results and keeping Kimi motivated and Alonso happy doesnt seem to fit with the team . I suspect Kimi is using this all to push Lotus and perhaps even McLaren. Surely its Hulk going to Fezz

BBC say its a done deal http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/24042352

"The Finn, who won the world title with Ferrari in 2007 but was replaced by Alonso at the end of 2009, has signed a one-year deal with an option for 2015."

Lotus have said they want Hulk if they lose Kimi.

Massa back to Sauber??? Can't see anywhere else for him.

So Ferrari look a bit silly now. Hopefully a front running car for Kimi but :)

Shame Lotus lost James Allison and couldnt confirm substantial financial stability in the team or that car with Kimi at the wheel could have been amazing next year

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
