We wish you all the best for the next two seasons Kimi.
Nice move for Kimi, BUT, God help Charles Seb will eat him alive, Not a good move for Charles at all
Why would Vettel eat him alive? What's in it for him? Sebastian was competitive with, but not brutal to Mark Webber at the Red Bull. You are exaggerating or deliberately making Vettel into some sort of nails-for-breakfast person. At best you have poor judgement.
Absolutely delighted for kimi, sad to see him leave Ferrari but a two year deal at Sauber is great news for Kimi and all his fans around the world. F1 is short of tell it as it is characters, thank god we've managed to hang on to one of the best,
I am happy for Kimi and I think he can achieve great results with Sauber and he doesn't need to prove himself . I hope he can still be on the podium a few more times with Ferrari and be supportive of Seb so the team can triumph this year over the Mercedes. Kim is a great guy and his fans just love him.
