on ITV news at 10

Confirmed or speculation? All I can find is speculation and "early talks"

not sure, but ITV seemed quite certain, and lets face it, he has been trying half heartedly at least to get back in F1

Agent denclined it yesterday apparantly. I really dont think he'll be going back into it myself......

Well i'll hold my hands up! All bow to the mighty sun! lol
Realistically can anybody really see him getting back into one again tho? I think if he was really going to do it he would have done when Massa got injured......

Was he not all bent himself at the time after climbing off a non-stationary motor bike?

True but even so........

After achieving so much in his career, I can't see him coming back.. he has nothing to prove and a lot of respect to lose should he not live up to everyones expectations..

His team is back-pedalling:
