Team manager Marti Whitmarsh continues negotiations about Kimi Räikkönen's return to McLaren.

The English F1 Racing -magazine asked Whitmarsh which drivers who have driven in McLaren would have been the "dream team", which they are searching for next season.

Whitmarsh doesn't choose Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, nor Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

- We had Senna-Prost and it didn't work in the best way possible. We had Hamilton-Alonso and it didn't work either in the best way.

- Maybe the most functional dual chosen from our drivers would have been Mika Häkkinen and Kimi Räikkönen. With them it would have worked. Both of them are straight-forward drivers who only concentrate on driving, are unique personalities, but intelligent, clever and could give the essential feedback to their engineers, Whitmarsh ponders.

Still after Silverstone McLaren was wondering where had the Räikkönen they know disappeared; the guy who always gave his everything no matter what kind of car. After Brazil and many other races they know the answer in Woking - it has not disappeared anywhere.
