<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1908" title="AUTO-PRIX-AUS" src="http://motoranto.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/f1fotogruppo1.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="276" /><br />
<strong>Sebastian Vettel &#8211; Piede pesante</strong>. Secondo tempo in qualifica con una monoposto più pesante del compagno di squadra. Primo stint di gara controllando il ritmo di Hamilton più leggero di lui.<br />
Seconda parte di gara nella quale ha dato un secondo al giro a Webber, in quel momento secondo.<br />
Che dire, se avesse corso cosi per tutto l&#8217;anno, avrebbe vinto il mondiale un paio di mesi fa.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Mark Webber &#8211; Ruvido</strong>. Non ha nelle corde l&#8217;exploit o il colpo di genio che può avere Vettel, ma riesce quasi sempre a fare il suo dovere. Difende la posizione nel finale su Button usando tutto quello che può, ma di reggere il ritmo di Vettel non se ne parla.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Jenson Button &#8211; Discreto</strong>. Voleva legittimare il titolo con una gara all&#8217;altezza; ci è quasi riuscito, anche se al massimo poteva arrivare secondo. Non riesce a sorpassare Webber anche se ci ha provato in tutti i modi, ma in questa F1 moderna è già tanto vedere qualcuno che ci prova!</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Rubens Barrichello  - Paperino</strong>. Anche questa volta gli succede qualcosa. Al via un pezzo della sua ala anteriore si stacca ed è costretto a correre cosi per tutta la gara.<br />
Il suo ritmo non è male e non sapremo mai se con la macchina al massimo dell&#8217;efficienza avrebbe potuto raccogliere di più. Resta il fatto che se deve succedere qualcosa in casa-Brawn stiamo pur tranquilli che succederà a lui.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Nick Heidfeld &#8211; Ragioniere</strong>. Probabilmente è il lavoro che avrebbe fatto se non avesse intrapreso la carriera di pilota. Mai un guizzo, mai un colpo da ricordare; solita gara senza errori e conclusa in una buona posizione. La BMW si ritirerà, Nick troverà spazio nel 2010?</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Kamu Kobayashi &#8211; Sorpresa</strong>. Questo qui è uno che va forte. Il Samurai non ha paura di nessuno, lotta con Button senza timori reverenziali e in gara risale dal 12esimo posto fino alla sesta posizione.<br />
La Toyota si ritira e perde un sicuro ottimo pilota, chissà se qualcuno ne saprà approfittare.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Sebastien Buemi &#8211; Conferma</strong>. Dopo la grande gara del Brasile il pilota della Toro Rosso fa vedere di che pasta è fatto e surclassa di nuovo il compagno di team Alguersuari.<br />
Gara senza errori, con sorpassi e sportellate; sta crescendo bene, in Red Bull continuano a garantirsi un futuro con piloti cosi.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Kimi Raikkonen &#8211; Arreso</strong>. La F60 ci mette 6 giri per scaldare le gomme. Nei primi sei giri Kimi perse una miriade di secondi dal gruppo di testa e la stessa cosa gli succede quando si ferma per il pit stop.<br />
La sua gara finisce proprio nei primi giri, non poteva fare altro, visto che con questa macchina quello che poteva fare quest&#8217;anno l&#8217;ha fatto bene.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Giancarlo Fisichella &#8211; Impalpabile</strong>. In qualifica prende un secondo da Kimi. In gara parte bene, ma poi ai box sbaglia e gli tocca pure un Drive Through. Il ritmo non è malissimo, ma in frenata non riesce proprio a sfruttare la monoposto. L&#8217;ultima occasione in rosso per fare bella figura è andata. Ora basta cosi.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Lewis Hamilton &#8211; Capita</strong>. E&#8217; la prima volta che si ferma per problemi meccanici dal 2007 ad oggi. Prima o poi doveva succedere. La gara poteva riservar lui un secondo posto sicuro, visto che vettel stava già scappando. Rimane il fatto che surclassa ancora una volta Kovalainen, ormai ex compagno di squadra. </span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It&#8217;s been almost thirty days since the Formula 1 season finale, the Abu Dhabi dazzle in the twilight. It&#8217;s been almost thirty days since I&#8217;ve been able to recognize this sport we love so much.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also been almost thirty days since Toyota announced the end of their relationship with us and F1. Since that large blow, Mercedes split from McLaren and bought 75.1% of Brawn GP inevitably turning the team into &#8216;Mercedes GP.&#8217; A few clicks of your mouse later and Button and Raikkonen were both testing waters for a McLaren seat which Button landed. His salary of peanuts sounded better to Mercedes than Raikkonen&#8217;s asking price of a hand and a leg. The Finn decided it was better to ditch next year all together, seeing that Ferrari are paying him enough to get through the inactive year.</p>
<p>With McLaren sitting happily with an all British line-up, it seems reasonable to suggest that Mercedes might be aiming for an all German line-up especially with the news that Rosberg has joined camp. That makes rumors of a Schumacher return tickle our fancy even more.</p>
<p>After BMW&#8217;s shocking exit announcement after the 2009 season, their future is not clear until&#8230; they announce selling the team back to Peter Sauber.</p>
<p>You consume all that and then take a breather. Oh, and Alonso announced his move to Ferrari. That slipped my mind because after a few pictures were snapped of him walking alongside Massa as an official Ferrari driver, he disappeared into Ferrari Land.</p>
<p>For 2010, refueling has been banned which was an idea proposed to help cut costs rather than improve F1 excitement. Anyone who knows anything about F1 knows that some of the best race moments take place during pit stops. But life is all about money so we shall only nod our heads and hope it helps us enjoy the show.</p>
<p>As of next season, Lotus, Campos, Manor and USF1 will be given a small nudge by the FOM: a $10 million grant including the free transportation of two chassis and 10,000 kg of freight to each race. That&#8217;s a good way to encourage fresh interest. Hands up for Volkswagen anyone?</p>
<p>KERS is still permitted in 2010 even though the FOTA have agreed to do without it. The minimum car weight has been increased from 605 kg to 620 kg to eliminate any driver height or weight disadvantage if any team decides to use the electric box.</p>
<p>Mercedes GP, Red Bull Racing, McLaren, Ferrari, Sauber F1, Williams, Renault, Force India, and Toro Rosso have been joined by Lotus, Campos, Manor and USF1. That makes 26 cars. With 24 cars in 2009, qualifying rules have been reevaluated accordingly: 8 drivers knocked out in Q1, 8 drivers in Q2 and 10 drivers fight it out in Q3.</p>
<p>Wheel covers have been banned, in season testing is still banned, a limit has been placed on number of aerodynamic upgrades per season including a limit on the number of team personnel able to attend a Grand Prix &#8211; c&#8217;mon, the more brilliant minds in the paddock will affect the success of a team? I don&#8217;t get it.</p>
<p>ING is gone after the Renault controversy and has been replaced by TW Steel.</p>
<p>RBS has canceled its trackside sponsorship in 2010 and will end its sponsorship agreement with Williams after next season.</p>
<p>YouTube has joined USF1.</p>
<p>Vigin Group have bought a 20% stake in Manor Grand Prix and plan on renaming the team.</p>
<p>Banco Santander is sponsoring Ferrari in 2010 and has extended its agreement with McLaren as well.</p>
<p>Since when has there been this much information during an off season? And in less than 30 days? I can&#8217;t remember when. It&#8217;s a busy winter and I am sure it&#8217;s going to get busier. I just hope all these changes are for the better. KERS had some pros but most of its cons were reoccurring. I honestly think KERS is genius and just needs more time to evolve for F1 to become accustomed to it.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s hope with all these changes Formula 1 is still worth retaining its number: 1.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>2010 será o ano sabático mesmo para Raikkonen? Ao que tudo indica sim. Kimi já garantiu que não existe possibilidade dele participar do mundial de F1 ano que vem, já que sua única opção, a McLaren, contratou Jenson Button. Puro desperdício na minha opinião um piloto  do calibre do Kimi ficar afastado por um ano. O tetracampeão Alain Prost avisou a Kimi que se quiser uma vaga em 2011, terá que se manter em forma, existem alguns passarinhos cantando por ai que Kimi seria a grande surpresa da Mercedes (ex-Brawn GP), mas eu duvido muito disso, Raikkonen está mais perto dos Ralis mesmo. agora é esperar e ver.</p>
<p>Abraços e Comentem</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The cold, dark F1 winter is upon us and luckily we’ve had plenty of gossip and controversy to keep us amused since the flag fell in Abu Dhabi. As announcements start to die down and things fall into place, I thought this would be an opportune time to look back at the season and pick out some of my personal favourite moments. There were obvious high points, not least JB’s maiden championship, but the following list tries to delve a little deeper into particular moments that will remind me of an extremely entertaining 2009 season, both on and off the track:</p>
<ul>
<li>Looking back to the start of the season Jenson has said that it was his victory at Albert Park in Melbourne that was most significant as it illustrated to him how good the car actually and was the moment of realisation that they may have a championship challenger in their hands. Obviously Brazil was also an incredible moment but my lasting Jenson Button memory from the season will be him running around the last corner at Monaco with his helmet on, waving at the crowd and soaking up the atmosphere. I think it will be an image that will continue to be used decades from now and was my highlight from his season.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mark Webber’s first win was obviously a very emotional one and it sent shivers down my spine listening to him screaming down the radio in fits of happiness. He’s obviously a well liked chap within the F1 paddock and too see him finally get his first win was a special moment.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A few of my favourites were courtesy of Rubinho. He’s another one that is obviously a lovely guy and provides some great entertainment on and off the track. His ‘blah blah blah’ outburst at Barcelona seemed very out of character but clearly the pain felt from the Schumacher years has left a deep scar. Things brightened up towards the end of the season though and before long we saw him and Eddie Jordan strutting around in the tightest pair of trunks you’ve ever seen. Surprised OFCOM didn’t have something to say about that before the watershed&#8230;  The high point was seeing the classic Barrichello victory wobble on the podium at Monza though, he’s still clearly thought of very highly by the Tifosi and you could tell how happy he was to have turned the tables on Jenson as the season came to a close.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Politics has always played a strong part in Formula 1 and, whilst people moan about it taking focus away from the racing, i think it adds an extra element and only accentuates the action on the track. We all loved the drama back in the Senna/Prost days and i’m sure people will love looking back in a few years and discussing the Renault scandal, McLaren cheating or the FOTA-FIA war.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It always nice to see a bit of fisticuffs come into play and Jarno Trulli and Adrian Sutil did a great job of playing handbags after their collision in Brazil. And Jarno wasn’t happy leaving it at that, as he brought photo evidence to the pre race press conference in Abu Dhabi to prove he was in the right. I think all he got was a few muffled laughs and the mick taken by Fernando Alonso though&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A couple of amusing moments from the many driver replacements in the season caught my eye as well. Firstly, seeing Luca Badoer falling off his Ferrari scooter seemed to perfectly sum up his return to Formula 1, and then we had Romain Grosjean popping his Renault into exactly the same piece of wall as Nelson Piquet Jnr had done a year earlier. It was so filled with irony that even the newly appointed Renault chief Bob Bell managed to raise a wry smile.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Finally, my lasting memory of 2009 will not be Jenson Button kissing Jake Humphrey on the neck or Ross Brawn’s tears on the pitwall, but of Kimi Raikkonen swanning around the paddock in his shorts and t shirt  in Malaysia, magnum in hand, as the rest of the drivers stood out in the rain waiting for the race to restart. Turns out Kimi had the right idea in the end, as the race was abandoned and only half points were awarded. Looks like he’ll be able to enjoy a few more Sunday ice creams next season.</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Old-ish news but we now know that it&#8217;s highly likely that <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8365967.stm" target="_blank">Kimi Raikkonen will be leaving F1 for at least a year with the McLaren drive no longer up to grabs thanks to Jenson Button. </a>To many people, it seems, this is no big loss. But to me, this is a huge one.</p>
<p>Raikkonen started his F1 career in 2001, with the Sauber team. He only had 23 car races to his name at this point, and many believed it was dangerous letting him drive at the highest level in F1 at this stage. Nevertheless, he bypassed many of the junior Formulae by jumping into F1. And how did he silence his critics? By saying very little, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Australian_Grand_Prix" target="_blank">simply driving his way to a points scoring position in his first race.</a> He didn&#8217;t succumb to the pressure. In fact, he was asleep 30 minutes before his first race. Pressure? What pressure. He&#8217;s there to drive.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s been a feature of Kimi Raikkonen. He&#8217;s not a fan of the media. He just wants to drive. His interviews are almost always boring affairs with him speaking in his trademark nasal monotone, and yet he has a certain charm about him. He&#8217;s been known as lazy, in the recent 2009 season being seen in shorts and T-shirt, eating an ice cream after a red flagged race, while his mechanics work frantically, and other drivers wait to go back out.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/7r-ny3WtKPg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/7r-ny3WtKPg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>And his dislike for the media, and his I-don&#8217;t-care personality can sometimes provide great amusement to those of us who appreciate that he isn&#8217;t just a robot, he has more personality than almost anyone else in Formula One. He doesn&#8217;t just conform to the ideals that are always being set upon the drivers.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/U386HsT-NaA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/U386HsT-NaA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>He&#8217;s lazy, unconventional, and perhaps a little greedy with his contract negotiations.</p>
<p>But he&#8217;s still blisteringly quick.</p>
<p>2009 saw one of, if not <em>the</em> most awful Ferrari car of the past few decades, being used. Kimi took it to it&#8217;s first podium of the year at Monaco, and, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8169206.stm" target="_blank">after Massa had his horrific accident at Hungary</a>, Kimi really stepped up to the plate, despite Ferrari stopping development of their car to focus on next year around half-way through the season. He achieved a brilliant win at Spa, and came a solid sixth in the world drivers championship, only narrowly being beaten by 2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton in a McLaren that was being developed all season.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not forget how<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/drivers_and_teams/8194061.stm" target="_blank"> experienced racer Luca Badoer</a> and <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/drivers_and_teams/7879015.stm" target="_blank">solid, on the pace, proven race-winner Giancarlo Fisichella </a>fared in the same car. Zero points between them. Yet Raikkonen hustled the car to forty-eight points in the season, all when he&#8217;d had speculation all year that his job at Ferrari was to be taken by former double world-champion Fernando Alonso.</p>
<p>Kimi himself is a former world champion, and was very close to winning on two other occasions where it was only the car&#8217;s reliability that could be blamed. It&#8217;s a testament to his racing ideals that he would prefer to take a sabbatical or try another form of racing if he can&#8217;t be competitive in his current series.</p>
<p>He has natural talent and is one of the few F1 racers of today&#8217;s era that can hustle the best out of a bad car (along with Hamilton and Alonso, amongst maybe one or two more), and isn&#8217;t afraid to push hard and make daring manoeuvres (I still remember his win at Spa 2005, where, in the wet, he pushed to retain his lead with a fastest lap at the time that was two seconds faster than the nearest time). Without him, we lose one of the true racers and champions of today&#8217;s era, and we lose one of the most unique people the sport has ever seen. I for one, will miss you Kimi. Please come back soon. I&#8217;m sure there will be a place for you somewhere, whether it&#8217;s McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari&#8230; Who knows. I guess to him it just depends who&#8217;s competitive this year. To them, it depends if they can afford him.</p>
<p><strong><em>Relevant song lyric of the post: Racer X &#8211; Motor Man<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p><em>“Speed is his lifeline<br />
Motorman</em><em>”</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Closing KoLd Quote</em>:</strong></p>
<p><em>“Kimi Raikkonen will be missed by many, even if some aren&#8217;t comfortable with his less-than standard demeanor. People may not realise it, but without him, the racing will not quite be the same. He isn&#8217;t easily replaceable. He has cast a shadow; I hope that a major F1 team sees that by next season, or, regrettably, that will be another true racer in the vain of both Senna and Schumacher that we will have lost.&#8221;<br />

<description><![CDATA[Quando tuto gira per il verso giusto sembra non avere rivali; cosi Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) vince]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1902" title="vettel abu" src="http://motoranto.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vettel-abu.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="304" /><br />
Quando tuto gira per il verso giusto sembra non avere rivali; cosi Sebastian <strong>Vettel </strong>(Red Bull) vince il GP di Abu Dhabi, davanti al compagno di team Mark <strong>Webber </strong>e al neo campione del mondo Jenson <strong>Button</strong> (Brawn GP).<br />
Il campionato si chiude quindi con la vittoria del baby fenomeno e la sensazione è che quest&#8217;anno Vettel abbia buttato alle ortiche (causa errori suoi e del team) una grande occasione per portarsi a casa il titolo.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Durante le qualifiche <strong>Hamilton </strong>aveva messo in riga tutti ma Vettel si era insediato in seconda posizione con una monoposto più carica di benzina dell&#8217;Inglese, facendo presagire una facile vittoria, mentre le Brawn GP di <strong>Barrichello </strong>e <strong>Button</strong>, in quarta e quinta posizione, seguivano la seconda Red Bull di <strong>Webber</strong>.<br />
Male, anzi malissimo le Ferrari con <strong>Raikkonen </strong>11esimo e <strong>Fisichella </strong>ultimo.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Allo start Hamilton tiene la posizione grazie al kers, con Vettel Webber e Button a seguirlo, mentre <strong>Barrichello </strong>in un contatto col compagno di squadra rovina l&#8217;ala anteriore, fortunatamente senza che ciò leda le sue prestazioni.<br />
Fisichella recupera diverse posizioni, mentre Raikkonen ne perde una a favore del debuttante Kobayashi.<br />
Nel primo stint di gara la sfida è tutta fra <strong>Hamilton </strong>e Vettel, con l&#8217;Inglese obbligato a costruirsi un vantaggio tale da poter ritornare in pista dopo il pit stop davanti a <strong>Vettel</strong>, ma il Tedeschino sebbene con una monoposto più pesante, gli resiste incollato ai suoi scarichi.<br />
Al primo pit stop si fermano nell&#8217;ordine Barrichello, Kubica, Hamilton, Button e dopo tre giri anche <strong>Vettel</strong>, che nel frattempo, liberatosi di Hamilton timbra giri veloci a ripetizione.<br />
Tornato in pista in testa, seguito da <strong>Hamilton</strong>, Vettel allunga ma proprio in quel momento il pilota della <strong>McLaren </strong>accusa pesanti problemi ai freni che lo obbligano al ritiro, il primo della sua carriera per problemi meccanici.<br />
<strong>Vettel </strong>quindi non ha più nulla da temere visto che il secondo in classifica Webber, subisce da lui distacchi pesanti ad ogni giro; nelle posizioni di rincalzo, grazie ad una gara impostata su di una sosta, Kobayashi e <strong>Raikkonen </strong>risalgono il gruppo con il Giapponese in terza posizione ed il ferrarista in sesta.<br />
Purtroppo per Kimi però le enormi difficoltà della F60 nello scaldare gli pneumatici lo obbligheranno a remare e perdere molto terreno dopo la sosta, vanificando ciò che di buono poteva fare; <strong>Kobayashi </strong>dal canto suo contiene benissimo il ritmo arrembante dei piloti su due soste e riesce ad installarsi in sesta posizione.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Nell&#8217;ultimo stint di gara, dopo la seconda sosta, le posizioni rimangono invariate, con <strong>Vettel </strong>al comando con un margine di una ventina di secondi su <strong>Webber</strong>, il quale negli ultimi giri deve fare i conti con l&#8217;arrembante Campione del Mondo Jenson <strong>Button </strong>che, montate le gomme morbide, recupera quasi un secondo al giro, piombando addosso all&#8217;Australiano nelle ultime due tornate.<br />
Jenson ci prova, forza un paio di staccate, ma Webber resiste mostrando i muscoli e Button deve arrendersi e rinunciare al secondo posto.<br />
<strong>Barrichello </strong>conclude quarto seguito da un costante Heidfeld, poi l&#8217;ottimo <strong>Kobayashi </strong>che si mette dietro il caposquadra Trulli e in ottava posizione <strong>Buemi </strong>della Toro Rosso.<br />
Nulla da fare per la Ferrari per il terzo posto nel mondiale costruttori perchè nonostante lo stop di Hamilton, gli zero punti conquistati da Kimi <strong>Raikkonen </strong>e Giancarlo <strong>Fisichella </strong>non hanno permesso il sorpasso e la conseguente conquista di svariati milioni di dollari di premio.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Il mondiale quindi si chiude con un <strong>Vettel </strong>in piena forma e con le Ferrari mestamente ai box a coronamento di una stagione perlomeno fallimentare; unico momento positivo del 2009 per il team di Maranello è da considerarsi la vittoria di Kimi <strong>Raikkonen </strong>sul circuito di Spa, teatro delle imprese dei più grandi piloti della storia.<br />
La Formula 1 volta quindi pagina, in attesa di vedere confermati i nuovi team che prenderanno parte al campionato del prossimo anno e in attesa di capire quali saranno i loro piloti.<br />
La Ferrari, come già annunciato, schiererà Fernando <strong>Alonso </strong>e Felipe <strong>Massa</strong>, nella speranza di poter tornare a conquistare quel mondiale piloti che nell&#8217;era post Schumacher solo Raikkonen è riuscito a vincere.<br />
o farà contando anche sull&#8217;esperienza di Giancarlo <strong>Fisichella </strong>come terzo pilota; un Fisichella deludente che negli ultimi 5 GP non è riuscito a conquistare nemmeno un punto mondiale (a fronte degli ottimi risultati di Kimi) e proprio di un punto la Ferrari non è riuscita a sopravanzare la McLaren nel mondiale costruttori.<br />
A Maranello si libereranno di Kimi <strong>Raikkonen </strong>quindi, il pilota di ghiaccio che non ama parlare e fare polemica, il pilota che dall&#8217;uscita di scena di Massa ha conquistato tre podi ed una vittoria, trascinando da solo il team per tutta la seconda parte della stagione.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Nel <strong>2010 </strong>probabilmente i valori in campo cambieranno; la <strong>Ferrari </strong>lavora da almeno 6 mesi al progetto della monoposto per il prossimo anno, mentre la <strong>Brawn GP</strong> a fronte delle poche risorse disponibili perderà sicuramente il vantaggio di svluppo avuto durante il 2009.<br />
La <strong>McLaren</strong> con Hamilton sarà sicura protagonista mentre in <strong>Red Bull</strong> Vettel partirà con l&#8217;obiettivo di vincere il mondiale, ma gli errori del team dovranno essere ridotti a zero perchè a quanto pare le squadre in lotta per l&#8217;iride non saranno più solo due.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"></p>
<p>Elérkeztünk a Száguldó Cirkusz azon szakaszába, amelyik bombahírektől és bombapletykáktól hangos: bár a pályán semmi sem történik, most alakul ki a 2010-es felállás, és a pilótapiac „felszabadulásával” egyre erőteljesebben pusztítják a csapatok a kérdőjeleket. Ettől függetlenül van belőlük bőven, és még hosszú ideig találkozhatunk megválaszolatlan kérdésekkel.</p>
<p>Jövőre 13 csapat indul, minden istálló két pilótát vonultat fel. A teljes mezőnyből mindössze négy csapat ismertette mindkét versenyzőjének a kilétét:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Red Bull:</strong> Sebastan Vettel (német) és Mark Webber (ausztrál) – tehát a 2009-es felállás.<br />
<strong>McLaren Mercedes:</strong> Lewis Hamilton (brit) és Jenson Button (brit) – az utóbbi évek legerősebb felállásának tekinthetjük abból a szempontból, hogy két világbajnokot vonultat fel a csapat. Utoljára 1989-ben volt példa arra, hogy két, már világbajnok pilóa ugyanazon csapatban versenyezzen: a francia Alain Prost és a brazil Ayrton Senna éppen a McLaren színeiben rótta a köröket, és csúnya marakodástt eredményezett a „bajnokok harca”.<br />
<strong>Ferrari: </strong>Felipe Massa (brazil) és Fernando Alonso (spanyol) – a maranellóiak fizettek Räikkönennek, hogy 2010-re még érvényes szerződése ellenére hagyja el a csapatot.<br />
<strong>Williams: </strong>Nico Hülkenberg (német) és Rubens Barrichello (brazil) – Hülkenberget az a Wili Weber menedzseli, aki korábban a Schumacher-testvéreket is „beszervezte” a Forma–1-be. </p></blockquote>
<p>További négy csapat már hivatalosan bejelentette a szerződését az egyik pilótájával:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Renault:</strong> Robert Kubica (lengyel). A francia gyártó lehetőségei között elsősorban a már idén kipróbált francia Romain Grosjean szerepel, de korántsem biztos, hogy ő kapja a másik autót.<br />
<strong>Toro Rosso:</strong> Sebastien Buemi (svájci).<br />
<strong>Manor: </strong>Timo Glock (német).<br />
<strong>Campos:</strong> Bruno Senna (brazil) – a fiatal dél-amerikai tehetség a néhai Ayrton Senna unokaöccse.</p></blockquote>
<p>A Brawn GP utódja, a <strong>Mercedes GP </strong>egyik pilótája a német Nico Rosberg – annak ellenére, hogy a szerződést hivatalosan még nem közölték. A világbajnok csapat másik 2010-es versenyzője több mint valószínű, hogy a szintén német Nick Heidfeld. Kavarog a hír Michael Schumacher szerződtetéséről – aki egyébként elérte, hogy a Ferrarihoz kapcsoló tanácsadói szerződését bármikor felbonthassa –, de a szerződés életképességéről eléggé megosztott a vélemény.</p>
<p>Szinte biztos, hogy a <strong>Force Indiánál </strong>megmarad Adrian Sutil. Bár az idén kiválóan versenyző németet korábban a McLarennel is összefüggésbe hozták, jelenleg egyetlen lehetősége az átigazoláshoz a BMW utódcsapata, a Sauber-Qadhok. Az indiai csapat tehát az egyes számú pilótájában sem lehet biztos, a második számú pedig ennél is nagyobb rejtély.</p>
<p>Az említett <strong>Sauber </strong>csapat mellett a visszatérő <strong>Lotus </strong>és az újonc amerikai <strong>US F1 </strong>berkeiben még nincs konkrétan megnevezett pilóta. Eléggé nagy a valószínűsége, hogy az amerikai csapat színeiben visszatér 1997 kanadai világbajnoka, Jacques Villeneuve, viszont egyre több pletykát hallani a tengerentúliak felkészületlenségéről. Számos szakértő kétségbe vonja a US F1 2010-es indulását.</p>
<p>A bejegyzés végére pedig érdekességnek: Ross Brawn jelképes összegért, 1 fontért vásárolta fel a Forma–1-es bukás után a Honda-csapatot. A Brawn által felpofozott csapat megnyerte a konstruktőri vb-t, és az egyéni világbajnokot is – Buttont – ő adta. Ma a csapat értéke mintegy 245 millió dollár – derült ki, miután a Mercedest birtokló Daimler és részvényese, az Abar 184,2 milliót fizetett a 75,1 százalékos többségi tulajdonért. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimi-raikkonen.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2754" title="kimi Raikkonen" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimi-raikkonen.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="368" /></a><em>Kimi depois da vitória em Spa: velocidade pura<br />
</em></p>
<p>Como podem ver pelos noticiários, Raikonnen tem seu futuro garantido no mundo da velocidade. Resta saber se a Mercedes vai deixar um piloto de categoria superior fora dos planos de sua equipe. Num mundial que terá duplas formadas por Alonso/ Massa na Ferrari e Hamilton/ Button na McLaren, acredito que Rosberg e mais um não farão sombra.</p>
<p>A McLaren seduziu Button. Chamou o menino para sua casa, mostrou toda sua tradição e grandeza, dando garantias que ele terá condições de brigar com Hamilton e a trupe da Ferrari pelo título. Na Brawn/ Mercedes ele teria sossego e sua conta ficaria mais gorda mas, como ele mesmo disse, topou o desafio. Gostei e muito da atitude dele. E a McLaren conseguiu forma uma dupla forte, mandando Kovalainen pro saco. Na verdade, nem sei o que Kovalainen estava fazendo na F1.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/button.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2750" title="button" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/button.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="400" /></a><em>Jenson Button: o tranquilão</em></p>
<p>Jenson é um piloto equilibrado, calmo, que apresenta uma técnica de pilotagem suave, com poucos erros e sempre constante. É o equilíbrio que falta em Hamilton, que tem um talento latente, uma vontade louca, muita velocidade, mas sem controle nas suas ações.</p>
<p>Assim como Kovalainen, não sei o Heidfeld faz na F1. Tem seu nome vinculado a uma possível ida para a Mercedes. Seria uma péssima escolha dos alemães, pois ficariam com uma dupla mediana. O cara é uma âncora. Rosberg tem talento sim, mas ainda falta provar mais alguma coisa, não sei bem o que. Acho que falta velocidade. Foi regular neste ano, mas a Williams também foi. Se você parar para pensar no quanto a Williams gastou neste ano, eles fizeram um belo campeonato.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/07_williams_toyota_fw31_72dpi.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2751" title="Nico Rosberg" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/07_williams_toyota_fw31_72dpi.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="436" /></a><em>Rosberg: falta agressividade ou velocidade?</em></p>
<p>Já a Ferrari fez uma bela escolha. E não estou falando que Kimi é muito pior que Alonso, muito pelo contrário. Alonso é metódico, estudioso e rápido. Sabe como trabalhar em equipe, consegue transmitir melhor para os mecânicos as reações do carro. É talento puro.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alonso.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2752" title="Alonso" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alonso.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="404" /></a><em>Alonso: qualidades únicas</em></p>
<p>Já Kimi, o negócio dele é ter um carro rápido e pisar fundo. Ele consegue tirar o máximo do carro quando quer. Não se importa muito em passar suas intimidades com o carro para os mecânicos. Eles que se virem com a telemetria e tratem de melhorar o carro.O cara é velocidade pura. Um talento nato. Provou isso neste ano em Spa, quando saiu em sexto e ganhou a corrida. Quando estava na McLaren, o motor Mercedes o deixava na mão num GP, no outro ele largava em último e chegava ao pódio.</p>
<p>E o Felipe Massa é vontade de vencer, é aguerrido, sangue quente e agressivo. Não é tão talentoso quanto Alonso e nem tão rápido quanto Raikonnen. Mas tem o espírito de vencedor e aprendeu a ser um piloto de ponta.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/massa.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2753" title="massa" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/massa.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="425" /></a><em>Massa: o que falta em técnica preenche com força de vontade</em></p>
<p>Se as três equipes fizerem o dever de casa, o campeonato do ano que vem promete. E nem falei de Red Bull com Vettel e a possível ida de Schumacher para a Mercedes.</p>
<p>Se a Red Bull fizer um carro bom e Scumacher for para a Mercedes&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Kimi Räikkönen confirmou que irá fazer um ano sabático em 2010, explicando que prefere esperar pelo próximo ano para ter um monolugar competitivo que lhe permita vencer mais um título, objectivo confesso do piloto finlandês.</p>
<p>Em declarações ao site oficial da Fórmula 1, Kimi Räikkönen explica que a sua decisão surgiu como consequência de não chegar a acordo com a McLaren para 2010. O piloto finlandês diz que sempre pensou &#8220;que a McLaren oferecia as melhores oportunidades para vencer corridas e tentar conquistar o título de pilotos e se isso não resultasse, o ano sabático seria a decisão tomada&#8221;.</p>
<p>Contudo, Kimi Räikkönen deixou bem claro que só regressa em 2011 se &#8220;encontrar um lugar competitivo, já que não&#8221; está interessado em &#8220;voltar à F1 apenas fazer número&#8221;. Garantindo que continua &#8220;a ter ambições&#8221; e que está &#8220;muito interessado em regressar&#8221;, Kimi Räikkönen lembra que cumpriu um sonho, que foi de ser campeão, o qual deseja repetir, o que só conseguirá alcançar caso tenha &#8220;um carro competitivo&#8221;.</p>
<p>Sobre as negociações com a equipa de Woking, Kimi Räikkönen explicou que o seu empresário se encontrou &#8220;diversas vezes com a McLaren, mas infelizmente, alguns pormenores não puderam ser resolvidos.&#8221; O piloto finlandês refere que ele e o empresário sabiam que &#8220;nos últimos três ou quatro dias seria difícil chegar a um acordo, e agora isso é definitivo.&#8221; Kimi Räikkönen diz ainda que não teve &#8220;quaisquer conversações com a Brawn&#8221; e sabe que a equipa britânica irá &#8220;correr com dois pilotos alemães no próximo ano, agora que a Mercedes está envolvida&#8221;.</p>
<p>Quanto ao que fará ao longo do ano de paragem, o finlandês admite que ainda não tomou qualquer decisão, mas que irá considerar, uma vez mais, os ralis.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Kimi Räikkönen will take a sabbatical from Formula One next year after talks over a return to McLare]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a id="ss-image-anchor" href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/slideshow/ALeqM5iIGI9aXX9XHjYu7WO0LEcBtWwQ7w?index=0"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/media/ALeqM5gbBUItFCjqzTNIviR94vZ-0jbC7Q?size=s2" alt="" /></a>Kimi Räikkönen will take a sabbatical from Formula One next year after talks over a return to McLaren broke down, his manager has revealed in a newspaper interview.</p>
<p>The 2007 world champion had been in discussions with McLaren after being released a year early from his contract with Ferrari, the Scuderia having signed Fernando Alonso to partner Felipe Massa from next season.</p>
<p>McLaren were viewed as the 30-year-old&#8217;s sole option to stay in the sport next season but his manager Steve Robertson revealed the negotiations have come to nothing and told Finland&#8217;s Turun Sanomat newspaper: &#8220;The options in F1 were with McLaren next season or not at all. Kimi and McLaren were unable to reach an agreement, so he will not drive at the F1 level &#8211; at least not next year.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;Kimi still exudes passion. A gap year does not mean anything in that respect. He is more interested in fighting for wins and the world championship.</p>
<p>&#8220;F1 will miss Kimi. He worked hard over the summer &#8211; doing things in a Ferrari that only the best drivers are capable of.&#8221;</p>
<p>The decision to call a halt to Räikkönen&#8217;s negotiations with McLaren would appear to smooth the way for world champion Jenson Button to move to the team next season, with reports this week indicating the Briton is on the verge of signing a three-year deal.</p>
<p>Räikkönen&#8217;s plans for 2010 could include involvement in the World Rally Championship following his impressive debut in the series in a one-off outing earlier this year, while he has also been linked with a drive in the annual Le Mans 24 hour race.</p>
<p>The Finn could return to F1 in 2011, with Red Bull Racing already being touted as a possible destination.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Em entrevista ao site oficial da Fórmula 1, Kimi Raikkonen informou que não estará mesmo na próxima temporada. O finlandês disse que não acertou com a Mercedes-Benz GP, como foi noticiado ontem (19) em todo o planeta, e que ficará fora em 2010. No entanto, o campeão da temporada 2007 não descartou voltar no ano que vem.</p>
<p><!--more-->Para Raikkonen, a única opção seria disputar o mundial pela McLaren. No entanto, a escuderia inglesa preferiu contratar Jenson Button, atual campeão, sendo a única da história a ter os dois últimos campeões da categoria em seus monopostos. O finlandês queria correr apenas caso tivesse condições de conquistar vitórias, algo que ele não via em outras equipes. Para completar, há muitas novatas na categoria que ainda podem surpreender e contratá-lo no próximo ano.</p>
<p>Raikkonen informou que não fez contato com a Mercedes-Benz GP e que sabe que a escuderia deve contar com dois pilotos alemães. Nico Rosberg (ex-Williams) e Nick Heidfeld (ex-BMW) devem ser os escolhidos. Já Raikkonen deve disputar o Campeonato Mundial de Rali (WRC).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>OK, clarifying my post from the 17th for all non-German speaking friends: <strong>I DID NOT SAY</strong> (or write) that Kimi Räikkönen is going to drive in Formula 1 for Mercedes in 2010! According to our research for <a href="http://www.p1mag.de" target="_blank"><strong>P1 Mag</strong></a> he <strong>DOES</strong> have some kind of agreement in place with Mercedes-Benz.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
It seems the terms of his contract termination with Ferrari do not allow him to drive in 2010 for any team placed ahead of Ferrari in the 2009 World Championship. Apart from risking the compensation he&#8217;s got for the contract termination, he&#8217;d probably would face legal issues for breaching this agreement. So actually the best thing to do is to take a year off and come back in 2011. With Mercedes Grand Prix. Nick Heidfeld being the likely choice to fill the void for 2010.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m well aware that Autosport.com has pumped out something different, mentioning McLaren had been Kimi&#8217;s only choice and speculating about him joining RBR 2011. Time will tell if they can stick to their story. I&#8217;m quite comfortable with ours. Oh, and sorry for the cheap skate copy cats who got themselves into trouble for picking up just the headline&#8230;</p>
<p>P.S.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" title="kimi festivo" src="http://www.aftonbladet.se/sport/0411/27/SPORT-27s20-kimmi-12.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="355" />La F1 pierde a uno de sus últimos pilotos auténticos, de los de salir de marcha hasta las 6 de la mañana para luego conducir a las 8. Y es que según informó ayer el afamado diario finés <a href="http://www.ts.fi/online/urheilu/89167.html" target="_blank">Turum Sanomat</a> y al poco confirmó su representante, Kimi Räikkönen abandona la F1.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Al parecer McLaren no ha sabido satisfacer las pretensiones económicas del finés, que probablemente ganará más viendo las carreras desde su casa, si le interesan, que lo dudo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se dice que en el acuerdo por su finiquito con Ferrari había una cláusula en la que los italianos le deberían pagar 17 millones de € si no encontraba equipo, o 10 si encontraba a alguien que lo soportase. Sabiendo esto, McLaren, que son devotos de la virgen del Puño, y que era el único equipo al que kimi aceptaba ir, le ofreció 5 kilos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Así que Kimi sacó la calculadora y tras duras operaciones matemáticas comprobó que ganaba 2 millones más quedándose en casa <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r-ny3WtKPg" target="_self">comiendo helados</a> y encima tendrá más tiempo para practicar uno de sus hobbys favoritos: <a href="http://vodpod.com/watch/2353930-kimi-raikkonen-falls-drunk-of-boat" target="_blank">caerse de barcos</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aunque de la manera que está el mercado, no sería nada raro que mañana se anunciase su fichaje por Mercedes GP o Force India. De momento los rumores más intensos apuntan hacia el cambio de categoría a los rallys, donde cambiaría el rojo de Ferrari por el de Citroën.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para despedirle un vídeo de su victoria en el mundial de 2007:</p>

<description><![CDATA[&nbsp; Είναι πλέον γεγονός… Ο Κίμι Ραϊκόνεν, πήρε τον χρόνο του να σκεφτεί τι θα κάνει με το μέλλον ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://delfino9.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimi-monaco.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-285" title="kimi monaco" src="http://delfino9.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimi-monaco.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="248" /></a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Είναι πλέον γεγονός… Ο Κίμι Ραϊκόνεν, πήρε τον χρόνο του να σκεφτεί τι θα κάνει με το μέλλον του, έδωσε τον αντίστοιχο χρόνο και στις υπόλοιπες ομάδες της FOTA να εκδηλώσουν το ενδιαφέρουν τους αλλά τα… φώτα (!) της Μακ Λάρεν δεν τον «τύφλωσαν» ποτέ!</p>
<p>Η «πολυπόθητη» πρόταση που περίμενε ο Φιλανδός πιλότος από την πρώην ομάδα του, δυστυχώς για εκείνον, δεν ήρθε… ή τουλάχιστον δεν ήταν αυτό που θα επιθυμούσε κι ο ίδιος. Αυτό αποκάλυψε ο μάνατζερ του οδηγού, Στιβ Ρόμπερτσον, ο οποίος μιλώντας σε φιλανδική εφημερίδα, γνωστοποίησε πως η συμφωνία των δυο πλευρών οδηγήθηκε σε «ναυάγιο» μετά την διαφωνία τους στο οικονομικό σκέλος αλλά και τους χορηγούς!</p>
<p>Ωστόσο, ο 30χρονος πιλότος που έκανε στην άκρη για να τον διαδεχθεί στην Φεράρι ο Φερνάντο Αλόνσο, είχε δηλώσει πως αν τα «ασημί βέλη» δεν κινηθούν για την απόκτησή του, θα παραμείνει εκτός Φόρμουλα 1 για το 2010. Κι αυτό διότι επιθυμούσε ένα γρήγορο και ανταγωνιστικό μονοθέσιο με το οποίο θα μπορεί να κερδίζει. Δυνατότητα που οι άλλες ομάδες, δεν καλύπτανε προφανώς και εξ’ου και το μεγαλοπρεπέστατο «όχι» που άκουσαν…</p>
<p>Όπως όλα δείχνουν, ο Ραϊκόνεν θα στραφεί προς την λύση του ράλι για την επόμενη αγωνιστική σεζόν, κάτι που δεν είχε αποκλείσει αν τελικά δεν τα έβρισκε με την βρετανική κατασκευάστρια ομάδα. Όπως κι έγινε. Στο μεταξύ, άλλα δημοσιεύματα θέλουν τον Φιλανδό να οδηγάει το 2011 για λογαριασμό της Red Bull Racing στο πλάι του Σεμπάστιαν Φέτελ, διαδεχόμενος τον Μαρκ Γουέμπερ.</p>
<p>Με απλά λόγια η επιλογή του ήταν ή όλα ή τίποτα, όπου όλα η Μακ-Λάρεν… όπως χαρακτηριστικά τόνισε κι ο μάνατζέρ του: «Οι επιλογές στην F1 ήταν με τη McLaren την επόμενη σεζόν ή τίποτα. Ο Κίμι και η Μακ-Λάρεν δεν κατάφεραν να έρθουν σε συμφωνία, άρα δεν θα οδηγήσει στην F1 – τουλάχιστον όχι του χρόνου. Ένας χρόνος αποχής δεν σημαίνει κάτι για εκείνον. Ενδιαφέρεται περισσότερο να παλέψει για τη νίκη και τον τίτλο. Θα λείψει από την F1. Δούλεψε σκληρά το καλοκαίρι – έκανε πολλά πράγματα για τη Φεράρι που μόνο οι καλύτεροι οδηγοί μπορούν».</p>

<p>El principal patrocinador del equipo Citroen, la empresa Red Bull, está tan interesada en fichar a Raikkonen que le habría ofrecido el doble del sueldo que paga a su primer piloto, el seis veces campeón mundial Sebastian Loeb, aseguró el canal MTV3 citando fuentes cercanas al finlandés. Esta negociaciones podrían tomar un nuevo impulso después de que se confirmara que Raikkonen estará apartado de la Fórmula Uno al menos un año, tras el fracaso de las negociaciones para su regreso a la escudería McLaren junto al británico Lewis Hamilton. El equipo de Woking optó finalmente por fichar al vigente campeón del mundo, el británico Jenson Button, cuyas exigencias económicas eran mucho menores que las del piloto finlandés. El representante de Raikkonen, Steve Robertson, confirmó en declaraciones publicadas hoy por un diario finlandés que Raikkonen estará apartado de la Fórmula Uno al menos un año. &#8216;Las opciones eran McLaren o nada. Kimi y McLaren no han logrado un acuerdo, así que no estará en la Fórmula Uno al menos el año que viene&#8217;, declaró Robertson al diario &#8216;Turun Sanomat&#8217;. &#8216;Kimi aún tiene muchas ganas de pilotar, por eso un año sabático no significa nada. Para él lo importante es encontrar un lugar donde pueda luchar por las victorias y por el Mundial&#8217;, añadió. Además de su posible participación en el Mundial de Rallys en 2010, el finlandés tiene intención de competir también en las 24 Horas de Le Mans, una prueba mítica por la que siente un interés especial.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Kun riittävän monta kertaa otsikoi ohi asian, menettää uskottavuutensa. MTV3 on ymmärrettävästi lähellä formula- ja rallilähteitä, mutta silti eilinen Räikkös-uutinen tuli otettua vastaan vain mukavana vaihtoehtona.</p>
<p>Tänään aiheeseen on tarttunut muun muassa <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8365967.stm" target="_blank">BBC</a>. Räikkösen ralliuran mahdollisuutta siivittää myös se, ettei hän aja ensi kaudella formuloissa. Siivet hän voi saadakin, jos Red Bull on tukemassa. Talli lienee tällöin Citroën.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ts.fi/f1/kolumnit/89175.html" target="_blank">Turun Sanomien Heikki Kullan</a> mukaan Räikkönen olisi kertonut hänelle haaveestaan olla ensimmäinen kuljettaja, jolla on F1:n ja rallin maailmanmestaruudet. Siitä motivaatio!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iltasanomat.fi/urheilu/uutinen.asp?id=1771616" target="_blank">Ilta-Sanomien</a> uutisessa toistuu vääräksi totuudeksi muodostunut asia, että Räikkönen olisi ollut viime kesän Suomen MM-rallissa Anton Alenia nopeampi. Ennen keskeytystään Räikkönen oli 1.32,7 Alenia perässä. Toki maininnan arvoista on, että lauantai-iltapäivänä Räikkönen ajoi Alenia nopeampia erikoiskoeaikoja.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Kimi Räikkönen wird in der nächsten Formel 1 Saison nicht an den Start gehen. Dies bestätigte sein Manager Steve Robertson. Am Ende der kommenden Saison wird dann entschieden, ob Kimi 2011 wieder an den Start gehen wird oder nicht.</p>
<p>&#8220;Die Optionen waren bei McLaren zu fahren, oder überhaupt nicht&#8221;, erklärte Robertson, &#8220;Kimi und McLaren kamen zu keiner Einigung.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ein Jahr Pause bedeutet Kimi garnichts. Er ist mehr daran interessiert um Siege zu kämpfen und die Weltmeisterschaft zu gewinnen. Die Formel 1 wird Kimi vermissen. Er hat über den Sommer hart gearbeiten und im Ferrari Dinge vollrichtet, die nur die besten Fahrer können.&#8221;</p>
<p>Das sich die Situation für Räikkönen in diese Richtung entwickelt hat, war schon länger klar. Er hielt stets daran fest, nur in einem Siegerteam zu fahren. Da er bei Ferrari rausgeschmissen wurde, kam also nur noch McLaren mit einem freien Platz in Frage.</p>
<p><em>Persönlich finde ich es sehr schade, dass er nicht mehr dabei sein wird. Seine &#8220;coole&#8221; Art hat mich eigentlich immer sehr beeindruckt, genauso wie sein fahrerisches Können. Ich hoffe, ihn spätestens 2011 wieder in einem Cockpit um Siege fahren zu sehen.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>MM-rallissa kauden päätöksen jälkeen on käyty kuumimmat hierrot siitä, kuka ajaa ja missä. Viime vuoden kaltaista joulukauden avausta japanilaisten poistumisine ei kukaan halua nähdä uusintana, eikä se ole enää mahdollistakaan sillä MM-rallissa jäljellä enää kaksi tehdastallia ja neljä kuljettajapaikkaa. Ford ja Citroën ovat sitoutumisensa ilmoittaneet seuraavaksi kahdeksi vuodeksi ja kuljettajien töitä tekevät samat herrat samoilla paikoilla kuin edelliset kaksi kauttakin.</p>
<p>Siksi kuljettajarulettiin tarvitaan ulkopuolisia pelureita. Suomalaisilla on tarjota hidas mies päättämään, mutta nopea ajamaan Marcus Grönholm ja potenssiin arvoituksellisempi Kimi Räikkönen.</p>
<p>MTV3:n urheilu-uutisten mukaan sekä <a href="http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/ralli/uutiset.shtml/arkistot/ralli/2009/11/998792" target="_blank">Grönholm </a>että <a href="http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/f1/uutiset.shtml/arkistot/f1/2009/11/998772" target="_blank">Räikkönen</a> nähtäisiin MM-ralleissa ensi kaudella, Räikköselle povataan peräti koko kauden ohjelmaa.</p>
<p>Kantani Grönholmin paluuseen ja Räikkösen saapumiseen on myönteinen. Haluaisin vaan faktoja, en köyttä jolla narutetaan.</p>
<p>Grönholm malttoi pysyä ensimmäisen eläkeläisvuotensa varsin hyvin poissa otsikoista &#8211; mitä nyt pieni hyppy rallicrossin EM-sarjaan sallittakoon -  mutta ilmeisesti talonmiehen hommat vaimon ostoskeskuksessa alkoivat maistua puulta ennen pitkää. Sen jälkeen on matkustuspäiviä kertynyt kalenteriin. Osallistuminen Portugalin MM-ralliin oli monen mielestä yksi kauden kohokohdista, vaikka se lyhyeen jäikin ajollisesti. Sitten mietittiin ajaako Bosse Puolassa, jos ajaa onko se vauhtiin totuttelua Suomea varten ja niin edelleen. Ei ajanut, ei ollut. Pikes Peak, RallyLegend ja monet yleisöpyöritykset on sen sijaan nähty. Mies on yhtä peeärrää &#8211; kuin Petter Solberg ilman selvää motiivia.</p>
<p>Silti, Grönholmin paluu olisi suotavaa kuhan se tapahtuisi yhdellä otsikolla.</p>
<p>Räikkösen tapauksessa huomioarvo on tärkein. En ole Räikkösen aikaan seurannut formuloita, joten miehen profiili on jäänyt viihdelehdistön armoille. Tuskin pitäisin miehestä, mutta toisaalta hänen elämänsä on ollut sen verran erilainen kuin meidän muiden, että on ihan luonnollista odotella parin kilometrin päässä AT-asemasta, ettei kukaan tulisi jutteleen. Suomen MM-rallissa miehen otteen rallikuskina olivat kuitenkin huomionarvoiset <em>human interestia </em>täsmällisemmin. Hän selvästi osaa ajaa autoa myös metsissä ja tuntuu myös pitävän siitä.</p>
<p>MM-ralli kaipaa huomiota, uusia silmäpareja ja sitä kautta rahaa. Räikkönen olisi varmasti palkkansa arvoinen, jos hänet saataisiin koko kaudeksi houkuteltua mukaan. Ja vaikka mitään tulosodotuksia ei asettaisikaan, niin tosirallifanin silmin viihdearvo ainakin kasvaisi.</p>
