There is lots of speculation that the Kimi deal is done and the announcement will be made in Abu Dhabi, presumably because of the Qatari connection.

That'll be 6 world champs on the grid next year.  :yahoo: :yahoo:

Bye Bye Rubens, retirement comes to all of us at some time, you've had a bloody good innings though.

I'm certainly excited to see that Kimi's back.

I do hope that Williams can contend for wins.  Maybe theire partnership with HRT will be helpful  :DD

Hopefully Kubica will be back next year, and on form, and we'll have an even more competitive grid.

Let's hope Kimi can stay focused long enough to make it worthwhile.  :D

I'm afraid if the car isn't competitive, Kimi will rapidly lose interest.
