Worst No.2 in F1 - Kimi or Heiki?

[Wanta996Gotta]

With Kimi's embarrassing incidents this season and Heiki showing that putting him into the Mclaren doesnt mean instant success then who is the biggest underperfomer?

[DangerousMike]

ha, nice poll!

[zac510]

A troll with a sense of humour

[10 Pence Short]

I'd say in terms of speed HK is worse placed to help defend Hamilton's position, but that KR's attitude means he's unlikely to bust a gut to help Massa, even though he could.

[Beefmeister]

Worst.

[RacerMDR]

i voted for Heiki - just because i think on the whole this season, he hasn't been there to support Lewis at the front when required.

Although Kimi i think has made more errors.

its a tough one that

[SeeFive]

I think that this is a bit of a dodgy question, given the parameters that are involved outside of the race, but in the spirit of how it has been asked, I would suggest that Kimi just shades it.

He is an experienced winner and the current WDC. He has been in the Ferrari for longer, has made a lot of driving errors this year, and is very inconsistent. Heiki just seems slower more often, but that may be because the car is more suited to LH's aggressive driving style.

Heiki is in his first season with the team, does not have the winning experience that Kimi has, and was probably in a position of less favour than Kimi was at the start of the season.

[FNG]

I went for Heikki - he's not showing enough pace to get in about the Ferraris. He's had some bad breaks too, but mainly his race pace is just not good enough to have an effect.

Kimi might keep binning it, but if the #2 role is to take places from, or at least interfere with, the opposition then he's at least got the pace to do that, if not the consistency at the moment.

Heikki is fkING Useless - they need to somehow get rid of him.

Maybe Alonso - He seems very FAST!!!

i cant see how u can call heiki useless?
its called a little less experience and a car not taylor made to him like hamilton has.
im sure next year he will be more up there. i went for kimi because he cant even finish a race without shunting at the moment

Sorry Heiki - Can do Absoluetly NAFF ALL With the Same Car and caves as soon as one of the top guys (i.e. LH get near him).

McLaren must be gutted the signed him on again a few months back - he does SOD ALL.

Spot on. Heiki got my vote as at least Kimi is in amongst getting in the way and taking points occasionally.

well, he's won one race this year, which isnt too bad for someone in their 2nd year in f1. But compared to the current drivers out there, its not very good at all!!

Kimi is not the No2, but if he was, he has no excuse as he is the current world champion.

[haggle]

Bang on - Heiki should be ok Delivering Milk back in Finland.

[Get Karter]

Neither.

It's got to be Nelsinho Piquet.

exactly...

Must say I am dissapointed with Heiki's performance in the later half of the season, he seems to be going backwards, not forwards...

Be interesting to see somebody else in the seat, like maybe Davidson?

I guess the problem is that your always compared to your team mate and (waits for the barrage of abuse) LH is probably the team-mate you don't want to be compared to (look at Also last year)...
