...BBC Sport understands BMW Sauber's Polish driver Robert Kubica has already signed to replace Alonso at Renault, although the French team said on Thursday they would not announce their new driver until next week.
A Renault source said his team-mate could be German Timo Glock, who drives for Toyota this year.
And I'm hoping for 1988. With Hamilton being Senna.
Kimi might as well as take that year's salary and join WRC instead.
mclaren will not be the same old mclaren, Kimi should know better.
There was an article in a Norwegian newspaper today about Solberg happily inviting Kimi to his WRC team for next year.
Personally I think there will be too much of a personality clash if Kimi joins McLaren again.
I would love to see Kimi to WRC because it would motivate me to watch it more, and it would mean Rosberg to McLaren
Having a shit in the pit building is way better than in the woods somewhere in Finland, near Ouninpohja.You think he's not made for WRC? I think he'll stay. The glamour is better in F1
Just heard that Kimi Raikkonen walked through the McLaren garage again this morning. Looks like it's become a habit....
McLaren F1 considering acquisition of BMW F1 engine ops
McLaren's Formula One cars have been powered by Mercedes-Benz engines since 1995, but that could soon come to an end. The relationship between Daimler and McLaren has become increasingly strained over the past two years, following the Spygate scandal and the automaker's decision to have AMG build the SLS.
With BMW withdrawing from Formula One at the close of this season, the hot rumor in the paddock at the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend is that McLaren chairman Ron Dennis is considering scooping up rival BMW F1's engine-building operations. Mercedes supplies engines to the this year's likely champions, the Brawn team, and a split with McLaren would allow MB to concentrate its efforts there.
McLaren's Middle Eastern investors reportedly support the move, which would allow the team to join Ferrari, Renault (if the French team remains in F1) and Toyota in building its own chassis and engine. Apparently, BMW's deal to sell the Sauber F1 team doesn't include the engine operation in Munich, leaving McLaren free to make its move.

Don't Mercedes already do engines?
