@davidnotcoulthard McLaren would definitely vouch for Bottas instead of Magnussen. :) I mean who would have thought Honda coming back to McLaren, and Alonso of all drivers.
What do you guys think? Is Kimi not worth it for 2016 season? I am really hoping this would be big for Kimi.
@junior-pilot Well, I don’t think Kimi had that much of an input to the F14T. I think Ferrari introduced most of his suggestions on SF15T. James Allison clearly mentioned Kimi’s feedback could not be exploited as the F14T chassis could not be compromised. Kimi was one of the front runners in 2013 as well, till their relationship started going south (Indian Grand Prix, between Alan Permane and Kimi). The entire team was splitting up – Kimi, James Allison and Eric Boullier. There must have been several reasons. He’ll quit (sad day it will be) but I think he will be there till 2016 season.
As for Bottas, Merc have their sights set on him for sure. Even McLaren, because Button may also quit by 2016. Ferrari will look for a No.2 driver for sure as it always been. Till the next year or so, it will be all Team building and stuff.
I think Kimi will be in for one more season. Kimi is an experienced driver who knows how to build a car. Well, things might have been bad recently but I hope it will be a pretty good season for Kimi, scoring good points consistently. Ferrari needs at least 2 more years to catch up with Merc (not considering 2017 rule change). Then Kimi may retire himself before Ferrari replaces him with a talented hot shot (for which I’m considering Romain Grosjean who will be a good No.2 to Seb).
