BTW check out the "Carrera RS" bike! I wonder if Porsche gave him endorsment to use the badges and name on the bike....

It's likely the worst kept secret or best rumor ever........I'm going with the former.
I doubt Ron Dennis would be thrilled to see an Enzo in Kimi's garage and not an SLR...wonder if he even got an SLR when he joined McLaren.

Cool bikes! I think I need one of those RS bikes myself!

BTW, Kimi to Ferrari is 100% sure, official confirmation will be at Monza.

I saw a special on Speed with Mika Hakkinen - his vehicle of choice is a Mercedes M-Class, or at least his daily driver.

Yeap, my thoughts exactly....I doubt though that Schumi will have the b...to have Kimi as a team mate. I bet that if he wins the Championship this year he is done...

I have to disagree about the b.... MS is very self-confident and believes there is nobody that can beat him in equal machines (of course, I am assuming this!). I for one, can't wait to see the matchup although there are so many variables that could skew the balance to MS (after all, MS is driving his setup and Kimi would be driving MS's setup to a large degree as well).

The other interest I have is what's going to happen to Alonso. Is he really that great a driver? He did look incredible in the wet!

Where is Massa going? I think he's done and admirable job this year under what must be enormous pressure.

Massa does look good. Better than Fisi in most races. I don't think he is ready for prime time yet though.

It's good to be Kimi isn't it?

Ferrari driver or not I would assume that a Enzo would be tempting to guys like this.

Those guys build some very nice bikes. I prefer their style over a lot of the guys building bikes here in the US.

Latest update is test driver or one of the "other" teams like Red Bull.

Finally, an Enzo owner capable to drive the car to its limits.

This should be interesting:

Schu wants teammate Massa, not Kimi (GMM) A clash of opinion within the Ferrari ranks could scrap the team's plans to unveil its 2007 driver lineup at Monza in two weeks.

As Michael Schumacher told reporters in Istanbul that he is likely to take longer to make up his mind about whether or not to retire, the German 'Bild' newspaper ran a story suggesting a behind-the-scenes rift.

It is reported that the 37-year-old veteran recently met with president Luca di Montezemolo with the news that the only teammate he would accept in 2007 is incumbent Felipe Massa.

''I have still made no decision,'' Schumacher told reporters on Friday.

''I have still 14 days and perhaps even longer.''

Any delay is likely to be linked with Montezemolo's insistence that the time is right to think about the future of Ferrari by finally putting Kimi Raikkonen in a red car.

A source told 'Bild': ''Michael knows that Raikkonen is very fast and could make him look bad.''

The twist in the tale, meanwhile, is that team principal and friend Jean Todt is understood to be siding with Schumacher, despite Montezemolo's contrary view.

Schumacher is a great driver, but with him so late in his career and considering retiring soon Ferrari needs to look to the future.
