Would you go to (a) Ferrari and be No2 or beat an ageing ex-champ or (b) stay at McLaren and deal with un-finn-ished business (beat Alonso in equal machinery)? No pun intended haha

If I were Kimi Raikkonen, I would take a year or two off and pursue my hobby - going to bars and nightclubs and getting very drunk. :-D
If and when he leaves McLaren, he'll need time to forget `Ronspeak', the euphuistic language spoken by Ron Dennis.

I doubt Kimi would ever be in the same team as Michael. He(Kimi) is just not made to be No2 - he is a great pilot and it is so bad his McLaren always breaks.
I would love to see an equal battle with Michael, Kimi and Alonso participating in it. There is no a team of 3 pilots though. So my best wish would be for Kimi and Alonso in McLaren and Schumacher in Ferrari for the next season.

That's a big question, obviously he'd probably want to be with Ferrari, they are the only team to perform consistantly well over the past 7-8 years, and to be honest, who wouldn't want to drive for the Prancing Horse.
I would imagine Kimi would enjoy the challenge of partnering Schumacher or Alonso, but dare I say it, Schumacher would probably be the greater challenge. Quite how Kimi would deal with team orders is another matter, despite McLaren's PR, he's very much his own person and races to win.
Would love to discuss F1 with you more, the forum i've recently joined which is great for a bit of educated banter is http://forum.forumula1.co.uk

Well... Kimi doesn't like either alternative. So the option would have been Renault, but since Kovalainen took the second seat, it seems that Ferrari have hired Raikkonen and MS is retiring.
If MS finishes in the top 3 on Sunday, he'll announce his decision in the post-race press conference. If not, the line-up will be announced some time after the race. I, for one, hope MS backs out of the sport.

As I've said before, I think Kimi should go to Ferrari and be alongside Michael. Even though some have said he wouldn't want an "equal" as a teammate, I think the chance to show that he can win an eighth title against a teammate who is arguably as good as him would silence a lot of his critics. Then he should retire as probably the greatest of them all.

I think it will be better to stay in Mclaren and show what it is really capable of. It is actually the fastest car on the track but fails in reliability.

If I were Kimi, I'd try not to wreck my car so often.
