"The wild and the free" by Heikki Kulta

The wild and the free

Based upon Thursday the last GP in Europe indicates the year's wildest weekend in this WC-serie. Finally there seems to be some real buzz on the driver markets. 

They are putting Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa aside in the paddock rumors and pushing Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes with all they've got. 

It must be an embarrassing situation for especially Schumacher. He doesn't have a contract and since Hamilton has negotiated about his seat one can't avoid rumors about him ending his second career. 

Especially since Schumacher's first team manager Eddie Jordan claims in public on BBC that Hamilton will go to Mercedes in the near future. 

But Schumacher doesn't do a thing to break the wings of the rumors. 

I sat for a moment at Kimi Räikkönen's table on Lotus. Kimi had made such a strong comeback that if they are changing drivers in Mercedes or McLaren, he must surely be under at least some kind of surveillance. 

Räikkönen's own continuance in Lotus is not yet announced in church. He still hasn't used his option, but I guess it will happen during Singapore GP. 

Räikkönen's new team mate this weekend, Jerome d’Ambrosio, came to say hello and Kimi asked him if he is nervous. 

He wasn't, but when I asked him a questions about what kind of a time difference to Räikkönen d'Ambrosio would be satisfied with, Kimi reminded once again that they are racing drivers, not any fortune tellers. 

Hence it's useless to ask about differences beforehand, the best is to just look at the result sheet afterwards. 

The Belgian driver has during the season became friends with Räikkönen. Nowadays it's d’Amborosio who is Kimi's badminton buddy instead of Sebastian Vettel.

É, a Silly Season esteve calminha nas férias, mas agora voltou com todo o vapor com esta história de Hamilton fica ou sai da McLaren, vai para Mercedes no lugar de Schumacher, que ainda não decidiu se vai se aposentar de novo. E ainda temos a situação de Massa.

Eu fico cada vez mais confusa, então decidi que vou ler somente algumas coisas, para não ficar louca. Por isto trouxe o texto do Kulta.

Como já disse neste post aqui, esta história todo de Lewis poder deixar a equipe inglesa, mexe com meu lado de torcedora de Kimi Räikkönen... E muito!

A verdade é que amaria ver o Iceman novamente na McLaren, se houver a possibilidade, mas caso não haja, quero é que ele continue onde está. #epontofinal

Para encerrar, Jérôme é o novo companheiro de badminton do Kimi. #perdeuVettel rsrsrsrs

Sabia que os dois se davam bem fora das pistas, desde as primeiras fotos deles juntos, na Austrália. A gente nota quando os caras se dão bem só de ver pelas imagens.

Beijinhos, Ludy
