Why have two huge egos in one team which could possibly ruin team balance and only one can eventually win the championship. When ferrari if they're thinking sensibly can keep kimi who btw is 3rd in the standings and earning them good points while not causing any sort of drama. He may not win championships anymore and he shouldn't he's 38 but yet he is 3rd in the standings.

[@jacksskepticeye5006]

I don't think Kimi hasn't not gotten along with his teammates. From Coulthard to Seb, he's always been cordial with them all. I guess that's purely because he's always been better than his teammates, except for in 2008 and from 2014 till now, he's accepted the role. A pure team man.

[@NoToBigBro]

A man with very few words. Kimi needs a teammate who is willing to initiate interaction with him. I remember Grosjean saying that the the first time Kimi spoke to him was over a year after they've been working together... when Kimi congratulated Grosjean on his baby.

[@jacksskepticeye5006]

there are quite alot of sources stating that but in reality they are not sure. There are rumors that a contract was signed with Leclerc before the death of the former Ferrari boss but that has not been confirmed yet. It is still possible that Kimi might race next year as it is rumored that Maurizio Arivabene has the say who is going to race next year and he is in favor of Kimi.

And now Vettel says that if he gets lost with setting up the car (which is easy, to go to wrong direction and lose the plot), he can always rely on copying Kimi's setup.

I mean did you see those tires? they were not even worn, they were almost on rims lmao, them shits were gone my guy

[@theelf152]

I've always known it. Kimi has next level feel for what any car is doing. It is abundantly evident by his incredibly precise racing even on the limit in wheel to wheel battles his positioning and control is insanely good no-one else has this. I recall one time at Mclaren Kimi felt something wrong with the car, he was incredibly quick & still one of the front runners but he said "feel like the chassis is cracked or flexing somewhere there.." as he explained to the mechanics. They ended up stripping the whole car and found nothing. When they returned the chassis to the factory and the examined it thoroughly (I think they X rayed it), they found a crack exactly in the area he thought it was. How often do we have drivers say there's something wrong with the chassis (because they got something else wrong with the set up or just plain slow), and never amounts to anything. The reason teams liked working with Kimi is he doesn't waste time examining things that are meaningless and he is incredibly accurate with what he feels. This is why Seb liked working with him - he knew all he ever had to do was take Kimi's base set up and tweak it for his own preferences - he never ever had to second guess...how often can you say that about any racer...and I do mean anyone.

[@ciaronsmith4995]

They do NOT have similar driving styles. Kimi likes a loose rear/strong front end on entry, Vettel likes a PLANTED rear. Kimi really just didn't force the issue at Ferrari.

[@OFFICIAL_VIDEO_AWARDS]

Here's how I read people and the F1 grid. If I were having a BBQ and invited everyone. The majority of the low to mid section would show up, mingle, eat and drink. Kimmi would hang out at the grill with you and shoot the breeze pretty much all night only ducking around the side to pee on the garage wall until he decides to do fire walking drunk as a skunk stepping on two hot coals before being dragged off by others. He's also smoked half of your packet of cigarettes and lost your lighter. Seb would mingle, eat and stop drinking around 11pm to wake up early and go cycling. He'd go around questioning drunk people in sarcasm to get them to reveal embarrassing things while judging them with his partner and a smirk. Lewis would show up late, in a rowdy car and make a fuss about parking it on the road. He'd be dressed to the 9s and be staring at his phone until he realises no one cares and he'd tell everyone he's flying to Barbados with Justin Beaver. Nico would rock up, have a glass of wine, sit with his family inside and leave without eating after an hour to not seem rude. He'd also bring a present. Valteri would be trying to compose himself until a few hours later he's doing shots in the garage and surrounded by strangers in admiration. Alonso would be with Perez discussing the satisfaction of building your own deck and doing landscaping. At 1am Lewis will show up again with Beaver and a Kardashian or two, find a spot on the couch after introducing everyone and proceed to get hammered, open up too much, talk about fighting and then cry before falling asleep with his pals in a spare room. Max would be nibbling on salt and vinegar chips because he doesn't eat anything that isn't boiled potato's. He'd be doing his best to act mature and not drink himself into a juvenile slurry and do a good job at it mostly. He'd approach Daniel throughout the night about the hot chick he's too afraid to talk to. Daniel will spend the night talking about and answering Australian questions and how many snakes he's seen and how Lewis keeps texting him all of a sudden even though he's 4 feet away.
