Kimi Raikkonen back to Ferrari in 2013.
I guess how this rumor came about is some big shot with FIAT/Ferrari was asked what's the future look like for Felipe Massa at Ferrari, and the big shot's only comment was "Kimi sure looks good driving that Lotus this year", so the now the European media says it's a done deal, and Kimi will replace Felipe at Ferrari in 2013.
The best part of this story is when Kimi was shown the door at Ferrari to make room for Fernando Alonso, Kimi still had one year left on his contract worth about $30 million, so when Kimi was told by Ferrari he was no longer needed Kimi said that's fine you have my address just mail me a check for $30 million, and Ferrari couldn't believe Kimi expected them to pay him the last year on his contract. Ferrari ended up paying Kimi the $30 million, and now a few years later the rumor is Kimi back to Ferrari.
