Whatever you can do to get the best available drivers, that is what you have to do," said Haug. "It's a question of money, it's a question of capability, a question of the amount of talent. Managing two megastars, I don't think that honestly it was a problem.

With Alonso there were some noises to the outside world, but in reality inside the team everybody did his job and in reality we should have won the world championship. But it was not due to not having team orders.

You can imagine what would have happened in Fernando would not have blocked Lewis in Hungary, no penalty, one point more and you are there. This is how it goes sometimes. We won it by one point and we lost it by one point.

I stress, I do not confirm that there is change. This is very important. But managing drivers ifs and whys is the name of the game and we are qualified to do so."

Reflecting on our co-operation which was five years, I think that it was positive," explained Haug. "We should have won at least two world championships. I have to say we missed one with two points in 2003 but I think an engine failure was one of the reasons, so without that he could have done it.

In 2005 he could have done it, in fairness. The engines at that stage were not as good and reliable as they are now. To have Kimi in our team winning two world championships would certainly have been a fair outcome for him. I have a good relationship with him and I'm sure he would say the same.

все, что могут Льюис и его менеджер, так это воспротивившись уйти из команды.

Вот и мучает вопрос о том что же будет с Кими?

Никакой Росберг его уже не интересует.

Действительно, Хауг что то подозрительно открыто занастальгировал по Кими..)

куда уходить-то ? в скудерии занято, а все остальные врядли будут конкурентами красным в следующих сезонах, имхо навеки наша Люся (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Да пусть остается. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) По крайней мере он ишшо молодой, а самое главное, что хороший индикатор скорости тачки. Уж если с ним она не едет, значит ну совсем не едет. А будь у нас в этом сезоне Кова с, например, Накаджимой, тогда о предельных (победных) возможностях МР4-24 мы могли бы только догадываться...

"Of course, we wish to thank Kimi for everything he has done during his time with Ferrari," said Domenicali. "In his first year with us, he managed to win the drivers' title, thus making his contribution to Ferrari's history and he played a vital role in our taking of the constructors' title in 2007 and 2008.

"Even during a difficult season like this one, he has demonstrated his great talent, with several good results, including a great win in Spa and we are sure that we can share more good times together in the final three races of this season."

"Мы пришли к обоюдному согласию и решили расторгнуть мой контракт с "Феррари", который действовал до конца 2010, то есть ещё один гон. Мне очень грустно покидать команду, в которой я провёл три фантастических года, в течение которых я выиграл много гонок. Вместе за этот период мы выиграли 50% титулов, и я смог завоевать титул чемпиона мира в 2007 году, таким образом достигнув цели, которую я поставил на старте своей карьеры. Я всегда чувствовал себя здесь, как дома, и мне было хорошо с каждым членом команды, и у меня будет много приятных воспоминаний о команде", — цитирует Райкконена официальный сайт команды.

Там эта.. кажысь Фернандо на сайте Феррари объявили призовым.

Robert Kubica will replace the Ferrari-bound Fernando Alonso as Renault's lead driver in 2010, the French team has announced.

The 24-year-old Polish driver moves to Renault having spent his whole Formula 1 career so far at BMW Sauber.

Kubica had been strongly linked to Renault in recent weeks, and team boss Bob Bell said the team had been eyeing him for some time.

"Ever since Robert made his grand prix debut in 2006, he has been on our radar as one of the most naturally talented drivers of his generation, and he has delivered on that promise so it's great to have secured him in one of our cars next season," said Bell.

"Renault has high ambitions and hopes for the future of the team and we feel that Robert can play a big role in fulfilling them."

Kubica made his F1 testing debut with Renault four years ago, when he was given a test as a reward for winning the 2005 World Series by Renault title. But he was not offered a deal by the team and instead went to BMW to start his F1 racing career.

"I am very happy I will be joining Renault in the 2010 season," said Kubica. "I feel I have a special connection with this team because in 2005 I won the World Series by Renault. This gave me the chance to test with the team in Barcelona, which led to my debut in Formula 1.

"I share with Renault a strong winning mentality and feel comfortable with their friendly and open attitude. I'm highly motivated and optimistic that together we can be at the front of the grid next year and hopefully fighting for the world title."

Kubica finished on the podium in only his third grand prix, and went on to take his sole victory to date in Canada in 2008 - a result that helped him mount a surprise world championship challenge.

The Pole expected to be a title contender from the outset in 2009, but the BMW Sauber F1.09 proved uncompetitive and the manufacturer announced in the summer that it will pull out of F1 at the end of the year. Although the team has been bought by the Qadbak group, its future remains uncertain as it does not currently have a 2010 entry.

Toyota had also been keen to sign Kubica for 2010, but team boss John Howett admitted in Japan that it appeared Renault had won the race for his services.
