The live performance is happening right now (celebrating the launch of the new Nokia Lumia), so who knows, maybe there's something coming later

or not

Hour 25

This Kimi/Nokia thing has come up too many times before and been bullshit every time. There may be an element of truth to the story of Kimi going to Lotus but I'll be surprised if this is anything but people putting what Peter Windsor and James Allen said on Twitter with the Nokia event in London together and hoping for the best

Supposed to be at 9.

It may be that the original source for the Nokia rumours got his wires crossed, or added 2 and 2 and got 5.

However, many journos (including James Allen) are insistent that some major Raikkonen news will be announced within the next few hours.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Performance is over, so unless anything is being sent out/announced within the next hour or so, it's definite bullshit.

Nokia pulled a bit more interested by sending out Kimi rumours.

Nokia is now pretty much owned by Microsoft. Not officially but still....
Otherwise they would be belly up as they lost out in the Smartphone battle.

Wonderful news. And "finally" you could say. :D
The interest in F1 has gone downhill since Kimi left (same goes for any other sport if there's no competitive countryman). So this is very good news in terms of resurrecting the fame F1 had before. Plus I believe points are more likely with Lotus than Williams. But why 2-year contract? Next year there would be many open seats for top teams....

I think Kubica & Lotus have burnt their bridges. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kubica's comeback with Ferrari in 2013.
