Nope and who would wish that on anybody? I’m just make a point and saying did you guys notice Raikonnen’s driving last season? His reflexes aren’t what they used to. He’s making a lot of mistakes out there in the race, making him a danger to himself and all the other drivers. It’s prolly age related dunno. But if you were watching, you kinda knew he was done in F1.

And what do you mean by ‘surprise’? It’s not gonna happen imho. The season starts in less than a couple of months from now.

Don't agree about Kimi. He wasn't that bad last season as you describe. Offcourse, he was not as good as in his prime, but that's normal thing. He outscored Giovinazzi by quite big margin and haven't finished just in few races. Mazepin, Latifi or Tsunoda is more dangerous for other drivers than Kimi.
Offcourse, we're not talking about Kimi racing in Mercedes. It sounds more like a joke.

I really hope that the rumors we are hearing about Kimi joining Mercedes doesn't come true. I think what Mercedes should do right now is recruit a younger driver thinking about the long term.

You know, Kimi is 42 years old and as he has aged, his reflexes won't be on par with other drivers and maybe his decision-making will be worse than others which will impact Mercedes hugely. Only time will tell though, who will be replacing Hamilton.

I don't think Mercedes will risk it unless they will want to have George Russell as their first driver if Hamilton retires,if at all as I doubt he will and then give Russell a wing man with a lot of experience like Kimmi Raikkonen.That is the only option I see Kimi joining Mercedes but again I think these are just rumors and most probably Kimi is retired for good from Formula 1 as a 42 year old driver we rarely have seen some driver aged 42 fighting for the title even if they are given the best car.
