Seriously.. why would a major sporting event like F1 ever be broadcast on a channel like CNBC? Next thing you know the NBA finals will air on Bravo!

NBC is like the Comcast of broadcast networks... Oh, wait...

Similar note (kinda) - The ALMS & NBC used to broadcast races on CNBC and MSNBC. Did anyone else think that was weird back in the day?

Damn I'm getting old.

Raikkonen rumor caught my eye that he won't get renewal at Ferrari for '16, makes sense given that he's only topped Vettel twice this year just thought to myself it would be a good laugh if he ended up back at Mclaren, but probably a mid pack team would be likely. Sad to see that Grosjean's vigor has been sapped by "Lotus" and his time is probably done too.

But why I really posted was this article:

Hmmm not terribly surprised...

A driver who sits behind Vettel is exactly what Ferrari wants, so in that sense Kimi is perfect. Also he has mentionned he will either stay put or leave F1 but dont expect him to jump ship to a slower team, Kimi doesnt do mid pack.

It's really a shame that the cars today dont suit his style at all. He was known for being able to thrash the V8s around at the edge but now with fuel and tire saving that just isnt the game. If they bring back huge hp and downforce like they claim they will for 2017, then Kimi is the guy you want on your team.

So Kimi to stay with Scuderia Ferrari in 2016.

Bottas to Haas maybe...?

Only if Ferrari tells him to with a jump to the prancing horse in writing so they try and make the engines look good in whatever chassis Haas designs.

That would be the ONLY way that could be a good move for a driver poised to move up to the top teams...

But that would be an uncharacteristically large amount of fucks to give from the Scuderia.

Yeah I like him at Williams...I just hope they give him a car to win some races in...
