Looks like Raikkonen signed a deal with McLaren next year. He will only leave if he can still collect a Ferrari paycheck for the rest of his contract though. With Alonso officially in the clear from this Piquet crash scandal (The road to stop calling things ____ gate starts with us) I don't think it will be long before he is announced as a Ferrari driver for next year.

Given the season that Ferrari have had it's still pretty bold to move Raikkonen on. I know Massa and Alonso are unlikely to prove disappointing, but for all of Raikkonen's gormlessness he has been pretty good in that car.
I wonder what Kovalainen's future holds. I think Rosberg could end up in the McLaren, or with Brawn.

I just had a thought that could explain Ferrari's form. This is ABSOLUTE speculation BTW.
I wonder if Ferrari put more stock Massa's preferences for the car, and now that there is no Massa, Kimi has final say as to how the car is setup. With Kimi as #1, he performs better?
I still think Alonso would be a better fit at Ferrari, and hope he gets the seat there. I feel like Kimi belongs at McLaren, and I would love to see Hamilton v. Raikkonen in the same car.
