| Quote: | Renault to land Kimi, retain Flavio
Saturday 15 July at 13:15 : Renault will shortly distribute a joint press release confirming the extension of Flavio Briatore's contract and a sensational deal to snatch Kimi Raikkonen from the clutches of both Ferrari and McLaren.
The Finn's manager, Steve Robertson, spent twenty minutes - from 3.20pm to 3.50pm - in the Renault motor home at Magny Cours on Friday, as he met with Briatore.
26-year-old Raikkonen's almost certain agreement to race for the blue and yellow team in 2007 follows renewed paddock speculation that Michael Schumacher will definitely race beyond '06.
Kimi's camp was having none of the latest paddock whispering, however, with Robertson's father - David - telling the Guardian: ''There is no ink dry on any contract for Kimi and any team anywhere for next year.
''There is not even one written in pencil.''
Briatore, meanwhile, is understood to have now informed carmaker Renault's upper management that he will continue to lead the Enstone based team, but only for one more season. |
This would be great news for kimi. I think its time for him to change from grey to blue. It Alonso time to drive the busted car's
If kimi is given a reliable car as renault. He will definetly aim for the top spot next year.

Yes I can see him being a force next season if he goes to Renault but I'm still hoping for Webber to go there and not Red Bull.

yeah its more likely that he'll be at renault since that seat hasn't been filled yet. and there is a slim to no chance that he won't get a ride next year.
and its time michael goes to give other people a chance, he's done everything, just a waste of space really.
