Raikkonen doesn’t rule out move after McLaren link
Kimi Raikkonen did not rule out racing for another team in Formula 1 following a link to a McLaren drive in 2019.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen says he has "zero interest" in the "nonsense" about his Formula 1 future after a report suggesting McLaren may be interested in re-signing the Finn. www.motorsport.com/f1/news/raikkonen-has-zero-interest-in-nonsense-mclaren-talk-1052903/?s=1Pressed on whether he or any of his representatives had spoken to McLaren, Raikkonen said: "I spoke to them for sure, but in the past a lot when I used to be there.

The Beebs has it too. I'd say that gives it some weight.

So here's an off the wall suggestion (no rumors at all from anywhere, just my OTW idea) - how about Kimi to Haas to replace Grosjean? The car is now best of the rest, Kimi is faster than RoGro, he'd have support to prove a point, and Haas would benefit from having a front-line driver with a following. Downside is could they afford him, and would he condescend (or be interested) in driving for a second level team? Just a thought experiment.

I would think it is more likely Kimi and Magnussen swap seats.

Well word is LeClerc is signed, I can see Kimi driving for Haas with KMag. As far as RoGro, Sauber is probably his only option.

When's the last time ferrari races a guys with only one year of F1 exp? maybe Gilles way back in the day? I'd have to look that one up.

During qualifying today, Kravitz was talking about Leclerc signing with Ferrari and said it was BS. He argued that Leclerc was already a Ferrari driver merely on loan to Sauber, which is absolutely true.
I had to admit, he has a point.

Neither fattel or LeClerc has the balls to race Hammy. They should sign Rosberg to teach them how it's done.

In a counter rumor to what has come before Alonso is said to be staying at McLaren because driving for Toyota and Honda was never going to work.

Well if the prototype class ends up being closet to the DPi class cars, Honda would be involved. Alonso has won LeMans, so that shouldn't be an issue. The funnier part would be winning Indy in a HOnda after all of the crap he said in F1

Marko will call Sainz home at the end of the year and then the screaming begins.
