Kimi Raikkonen was never "snapped" from Sauber. He had a long contract, and McLaren bought him out of his Sauber contract.
why not? right car. right time. he has the talent there. hope to see him around getting more and more experience so help complete the package.
At the very worst he could get the Mercedes seat schmacher will leave when he likely retires this year.
I think if webber isn't resigned kobayashis biggest challenge for the seat will be rosberg, but the fact he's Japanese will favour kob as japan is a huge market for Red Bull.
One thing is for sure, if he dosen't resign for sauber he's got a few quality options.

He's a great overtaker, but I'm not sure he has the pace to be WDC.

I think Rosberg or Kubica would do a far better job at Red Bull than Kobayashi IMO.
I don't think kubica is gonna get a seat with red bull after that crash and i do think kobayashi is as good as rosberg kubica etc
It's hard to tell, both of those drivers had/have better cars then kobayashis did.
I think rosberg is more refined then kobayashi due to experience but I think kobayashi has more potential, and that's not hard to see.
Which is why I think kob has more to show this year.

Completely agree on Rosberg, hopefully time will tell with Kubica. It would be great to see him racing at top form when he comes back this season, hopefully.
I think Kobayashi would be good at McLaren if Hamilton decides to leave and go somewhere else, which I think is a real possibility. He just doesn't seem happy there to me...

Kobayashi quote of the day - "why should I wait if I can overtake?".
You could replace the name with Senna and everyone would say thats what a race driver is all about.
Kobayashi is a great racing driver. He has outperformed cars under him.

great result in Monaco further proves that he deserves a better seat
I have a feeling he might stay with Sauber for two to three years.
Sauber have already contacted him for a new contract for 2012. If Kobayashi can become the centrer of attention just like in Suzuka last year then I belive he might get a better offer from an other team.
But tbh Sauber is actually doing a great job getting closer to the Mercedes and Ferrari group which is quite impresive.

I personally think Kobayashi and Perez will be fighting it out for Massa's seat next year.

Unless Mercedes find some pace soon, I reckon it'll be Rosberg who takes it.

I don't think they'll put another experienced strong driver in at Ferrari, purely because Alonso tends to throw his toys a lot lol.
I think Mercedes will do whatever they can to keep hold of Rosberg as a number 1 driver and bring in someone like Di Resta as his number 2.
Kobayashi will go to Ferrari, beat Alonso and 2007 will happen all over again.
I think there is no need to exxaggarate Kobayashi's skills. Because Sauber is not a so bad team. Look how Perez got into Q3 while Kobayashi could'nt in Monaco.
If i were a Ferrari-McLaren or Red Bull team boss, i would'nt hire him, he is too aggressive sometimes and a champion driver must learn to drive steady and perfect.

I would argue that if he wasn't as aggressive, would he have finished 5th on Sunday?
I would also argue that if tyre management is anything to go by, he's not as aggressive as drivers such as Hamilton.

explain how he is too aggressive?
hes finished in the points every race, unless your talking about people hitting hes yres ever race and the fuel pump issue he had if thats aggressive then yeah thats stupid.
he had a few set up issues in Monaco but regardless qualifying isn't as important as it once was, and kobayashi's race pace is infinitely more faster then Perez.
