Button : http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/11/10228.html<br><br>McLaren have announced the signing of reigning world champion Jenson Button on a multi-year deal that will see him partner 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton next season. It marks the first pairing of two British world champions since Graham Hill and Jim Clark at Lotus in 1968.<br><br>The news follows weeks of speculation surrounding Button’s future with 2009 team Brawn GP, whose 2010 driver line-up remains unconfirmed following their takeover by McLaren engine suppliers Mercedes earlier this week.<br><br>“It’s always a difficult decision to leave a team when you’ve been there for so long, but life is all about challenges - and, most important of all, it’s about challenging yourself,” said Button, who had been with his previous team in its various incarnations since 2003.<br><br>“So, although I won the world championship with Brawn GP last year, and I’ll never forget that, I was always adamant that I wanted to continue to set myself fresh challenges. So that’s why I’ve decided to join Vodafone McLaren Mercedes.”<br><br>Commenting on Button’s signing, McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said: “Everybody at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is absolutely delighted to be able to welcome Jenson to our team. It has always been our policy to employ the two very best possible drivers - and, in Jenson and Lewis, we feel we not only have the fastest pairing on the 2010 grid, but also the two most complete, professional and dedicated drivers in Formula One.”<br><br>Despite reports suggesting that pay had been a major stumbling block in Button’s negotiations with Brawn, Whitmarsh insisted his move to McLaren hinged purely to his desire to remain in a race-winning car next year, having scored six victories this season.<br><br>“I want to make clear that Jenson’s decision to join us was in no way motivated by money,” he said. “We’ll be paying him no more than he could be getting elsewhere, and that fact is a reflection of not only Jenson’s belief in Vodafone McLaren Mercedes but also his desire and ambition to build on the phenomenal results he achieved during the 2009 season.”<br><br><br>Kimi : http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/11/10226.html<br><br>Kimi Raikkonen will be missing from the grid in 2010 after failing to agree a deal to drive for McLaren, according to his management. Raikkonen, who has a keen interest in rallying, is expected to pursue other options next year as he looks to secure a winning drive for 2011.<br><br>The Finn, 2007 world champion with Ferrari, agreed to leave the Italian team at the end of this season despite having a year of his contract still to run, in order to make way for Fernando Alonso. He has always said he would only contemplate staying in the sport with a top team.<br><br>"The Formula One alternatives for next season were McLaren or nothing,” Raikkonen’s manager Steve Robertson was quoted as saying by Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat. “Kimi and McLaren could not reach an agreement, so he will not drive at F1 level - at least not next year."<br><br>Raikkonen previously spent five seasons with McLaren, from 2002 to 2006, winning nine Grands Prix and twice finishing runner-up in the drivers’ championship. He moved to Ferrari for 2007, taking the title that year, but was overshadowed by team mate Felipe Massa the following season.<br><br>This year Raikkonen has experienced mixed fortunes, with pundits repeatedly questioning his level of motivation. He won the Belgian Grand Prix, but was subsequently hampered by Ferrari’s decision to halt development of their 2009 car.<br><br>He also made his World Rally Championship debut at his home event in August, setting competitive times before crashing out. He could now return to that series next year, although Robertson hinted his driver’s Formula One career is far from over.<br><br>"Kimi still lives and breathes driving ambition,” he added. “In that sense a year off means nothing. More important is to find a place for Kimi where he can fight for victory and the world championship."<br><br>“It’s hard to believe that I have been in Formula One for nine years already,” was Raikkonen’s own take on the situation earlier this month. “I am very motivated to win races and a championship again and will only remain in Formula One if I can race for a team that can give me a car to fight at the front.”<br><br>Raikkonen’s apparent removal from the running for a 2010 McLaren seat has already boosted media speculation that the British team could sign reigning world champion Jenson Button to partner Lewis Hamilton next season.

Renault confirmed on Wednesday that Robert Kubica will race for the team in 2010. Kubica will replace Fernando Alonso, who is to join Ferrari next year, in the French squad’s line-up.<br><br>http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/10/10065.html

前世界冠軍Kimi Raikkonen誓言在2009年將回復以往的強悍，今年賽季Kimi的表現令人失望，無法守住世界冠軍寶座。


「上個賽季未如我所預期，」Kimi說：「我剛開始表現非常好，但是後來有太多負面的時刻。我們犯了一些錯誤，如我們的對手一樣，但是我們比他們付出更高的代價，我們無法彌補過來，而我太早脫離頭銜競爭行列。」


「但這都是過去的一部分，明年我們將再次回到勝利行列。」Kimi說：「新規則將實施，且許多事情將會改變，因此很難說2009年看起來將會如何，但是我認為我們將會再度具有競爭力。每當有所改變時，Ferrari通常能比其他人更快適應。我們將拭目以待看我們的能力所及，而我們將能贏得下一次的錦標賽。」


據了解Kimi將在今年的冬季測試中分擔大部分的測試工作，以往這段時間他通常都在度假，不過為了討回顏面，這位芬蘭冰人下定決心適應明年新規則與新賽車。

加油, kimi

若不是TG 他會是冠軍嗎? 看看他在加拿大把KIMI 撞、日本又把他迫出去, 意大利把好多人迫出去，這是冠軍的行為嗎?
還有，MASSA 在匈牙利不是爆缸他以今日成績能拿到嗎?😡

下年他一定難拿到冠軍，看他今年交到這麼多"朋友"，特別在意大利後

我覺得會好像Mika and Coulthad 的情況🙂

在餘下的三站 : 與隊友相差20分、領先者達27分，車隊被反超1分。

只有下一站比領先者多8分才有機會再奪世界冠軍

若果我是kimi，我就會幫助massa了，始中去年的世界冠軍有一半都是massa的功勞。
