So Who is Going Where? F1 Silly Season!

Alonso's arrival at Ferrari was probably the worst ke

pt secret in the history of Formula One. It just kept dragging on, it was a relief when they finally confirmed it. However, there are some key peices of the puzzle that are yet to fall into place that really dictate what the grid is going to look like next year.

Probably the biggest piece is Kimi Raikkonen. He has been give a huge pay off from Ferrari, and he has already gone on the record saying that it's Mclaren or nothing. However, the Iceman has suddenly become a bit greedy, and is asking for his Ferrari salary... Which is around abouts $50million a year.

Secondly, Jenson Button is also wanting more money from Brawn. It's not a stupid amount, a paltry $8million a year, but Ross Brawn doesn't seem to think Jenson is worth it.

Then there is Mercedes. They've been itching for a German driver, and for domination. Mclaren hasn't been able to give them those during their fifteen year partnership. Rumour is that they are going to sell their shares in Mclaren and jump on the Brawn band wagon.

There are numerous outcomes to this situation, lets go through them one at a time:

Lets say Raikkonen and Mclaren come to an agreement on pay, rallying, vod

ka, whatever, and Kimi heads on back to Mclaren with, or without, Mercedes backing and Button accepts his position at Brawn, as a drive is better than no drive. We would have a pretty good battle on our hands; imagine a motivated Raikkonen going against the always fast Hamilton, the potential time bomb that is the Alonso/Massa duo, and the new Brawn team with Rosberg getting his chance in a fast car. That's without mentioning Vettel in the Red Bull.

There is always the chance that Raikkonen and Mclaren can not come to an agreement. Then what! Well then it goes down another route... Ah ok, it's probably easier to draw this in a tree diagram.

Ha!

Just as I write this Mercedes have bought out Brawn. Lets see if the drivers go where I think they do then....
