Let's see who has the inside information from the pit garage.

Some considerations:

1) With Alonso joining McLaren for a long contract, Kimi may have to settle as 2nd fiddle to the world champion for a long time. Kimi is also vocal about the lack of pace with his McLaren car.

2) Kimi can switch to Renault, which is the fastest car on the grid at the moment. But Renault's F1 business seems to have an uncertain future. One reason why Alonso might have bailed out this early.

3) If Schumacher decides to stay for another run with Ferrari, that shouldn't be a problem for Kimi. Michael is nearing retirement. That means being 2nd fiddle will be a short wait for Kimi.
