Say it isn't so!

"Last year's Japanese Grand Prix winner Kimi Raikkonen admitted on Friday that he sees little prospect of being able to repeat that success on Sunday...Such is the McLaren Mercedes-Benz team's form that it is facing the prospect of its first winless season since 1996."

Dude, you campaign for Ferrari, get the Hell outta here!

Brethern, we all gotta keep the faith. Look at it this way, Kimi shouldn't care about what he says given that he is a goner. However! What these guys have in common is a inate desire to win! So don't count out McLaren just yet.

it seems to be the case.

Unless ferrari seal the title in suzuka, then there might be a possibility in brazil for kimi in.

Otherwise i dont think so

even make the qualifying today past the 2nd round, come Luke and join us on the dark/red side, you know you will next year, you will have to follow Kimi, the only logical choice as Spock would say.

Oh man am I just getting roasted here. Last nite, during the race, I just started drinking. To quell the passion for a team that has produced crapola this season. Somebody said, what a long season. I couldn't agree more! What a long season indeed. Lets look to next year.

Ohh, and no, I won't EVER, EVER be a Scuderia fan. No matter how much I appreciate the talent they have, I just won't do it. However, if their is a car offered to me, say a Ferrari, I could be persuaded...
