Raikkonen visits Williams factory

Williams has admitted Kimi Raikkonen recently visited its Grove factory, leading to speculation that the Finn could be seeking to revive an F1 career that ended in 2009. Pastor Maldonado's Venezuelan backing makes him most likely to retain his Williams seat for 2012, while Barrichello says he and the team are "talking day by day so we just need to see."

Things really looking up for Williams, Kimi is the perfect guy to motivate a team and graft to bring it success.

All that recent NASCAR and rally experience will definitely come in handy, exactly the expertise required to develop a struggling F1 car.

Christ, this is what happens when you hand over the day to day running of your team to someone else.

mschumi Michael Schumacher

I wonder if there are any other ex-McLaren rejects that Williams could hire to help out Kimi and Coughlan.

jpm Juan Pablo Montoya

I already drived for Williams dudes, and I am going awesome in Nascar so I'd be doing a bad by going back.

Williams Frank Williams

We've enough under-performing South Americans on our books as it is. You ungrateful sod Montoya, and I haven't forgotten that tirade you subjected us to in Magny Cours.

jpm Juan Pablo Montoya

You f**king f**king w**ker. You wanted f**king Ralf to f**king win, you all f**king stupid Williams f**ks.

fernando Fernando Alonso

Jeez Montoya, that's the most eloquent thing I've heard you say in a long time.

jpm Juan Pablo Montoya

F**king idiot, he broke my f**king head.

mschumi Michael Schumacher

Now, now, time to go back to that NASCAR english you've learned in the US. I'm not surprised you lost the plot, imagine losing to Dannii in identical equipment.

fernando Fernando Alonso

I heard Sutil was down Williams way too.

Sweet Jesus, wait til I get my hands on Adam Parr, we are not a rehabilitation center for those with a disposition for criminal behaviour.

subtle Adrian Sutil

Nothing has yet been proven Mr. Williams, it was an accidental graze on the neck with a champagne glass I smashed, also by accident.

rubens Rubens Barrichello

All these rumours are totally unfair, I am the guy who is supposed to be driving the Williams revolution.

mschumi Michael Schumacher

I think you'll find you're supposed to be driving the Williams F1 car... quickly. Maybe they should have written that last bit in your contract to make it clear.

fernando Fernando Alonso

I guess with all this speculation generating countless headlines, we can probably expect a statement from the man himself.

IceMan Kimi Raikonnen

Yes.

fernando Fernando Alonso

Sorry Raikkonen, I nodded off there while you were nattering on.

mschumi Michael Schumacher

It will be good to see Kimi back in F1, especially as he was running out of other racing formulae to fail miserably in.

IceMan Kimi Raikonnen

I was having a shit.
