Whitmarsh: I'm a big fan of Kimi


Question: "How realistic was a return of Kimi Räikkönen?"
Martin Whitmarsh: "I honestly admit that I am a big fan of Kimi. It was close, but it did not work. We've tried it, because together with Kimi, we still have a score to settle. He is super fast, exciting. I like his honesty and his way, but he has this penchant for the rally sport and that could have influenced the decision. "

Liar

They were after Button the moment they realized Kimi was not going to be sheep at Mclaren.

They wanted him all right, but not to lead. Rather to be a fast no:2 to Hamilton to ensure the constructors points.

They know how reliable and consistent Kimi can be even when the car is sub-par. If he is allowed to lead the team, Kimi will have shamilton for breakfast lunch and dinner. Its a no contest.
