I don't think he will "leave" at the end of the season. If he "leaves" Ferrari, it means his arse would have been shown to the door. If he is fired, I think it will be with good reason.

Kimi supposedly makes $25-40 million, depending on what you read. Massa makes $5-8 million. As for Heidfeld, I have always said that Ferrari should have kept Schumacher for '07 and signed Heidfeld when he becomes available for '08.

The obvious choice to replace Kimi would be Schumacher, according to Bild. However, was the obvious choice to replace Schumacher ever Kimi? He was always called the fastest driver in F1. I don't think that was ever merited. He has one uber impressive win here and there, but he always had a gaggle of DNFs in between. Alonso, however much you don't like him, was a more "obvious" choice because he has the Schumacher work ethic and is a great tester.
