Raikkonen out. Schumacher back in the car and playing catchup to the rookie Tiger Woods-a-like.
You heard it here first.
No chance, he was fastest in the last race and fast @ Silverstone testing. Few more races and he'll be there, KR and FA have just switched teams and tires, give them time and both will be the fastest, come back to this post in 6 races and if I'm wrong I'll let you have a free drive in a Single Seater LOL ;-)Raikkonen out.

Kimi is a great.
And know nothings on this thread were rubbishing him.
Are any of them big enough to post and admit their mistakes?

He's no Schumi though. Will be interesting to see how the next couple of seasons go.

If you are not prepared to have your comments questioned on here, by people who are just as knowledgeable (and sometimes more so) why do you even bother posting?
With regards to Kimi, I personally do not feel that he will ever win a world championship (but then you will not accept my opinion about that will you!!) simply because he is not a complete racing driver. Fine, he might throw the car around a track very fast, but that does not make a champion. Second place is the first loser - period.
So much egg on so many faces in this thread.With regards to Kimi, I personally do not feel that he will ever win a world championship (but then you will not accept my opinion about that will you!!) simply because he is not a complete racing driver.

He's entitled to gloat. Personally, i think Kimi is 3 years too late, but he's done it now.
In all fairness to him, he's the first Ferrari driver in the post-schumacher era, and he's won the championship. And the team hasn't imploded like i thought it would, if he continued to perform like he did at McLaren. Somebody at Ferrari got a grip of him, obviously, and has made him change his ways for the better.
I wouldn't have predicted how mature he seems to have become. I wouldn't have predicted Alonsos performace either, not in a million years. Certainly would never have predicted Hamiltons performance, christ, never in a million years.
Still think Kimi would have won diddly squat without the FIAs help though, but thats another topic i guess.

I didnt get to see the last race - so i cant comment on his performance.
I personally dont feel i have 'egg on my face', even though im pretty sure i said earlier in this thread i didnt think kimi was Champion material. Why? Because i dont - yes he appears to have won it (i dont fully understand whats going on) - but seemingly had a helping had from Max Mosley and the FIA.
That isnt to take away from his achievements, but the simple fact is he was the outsider of the 3 potentials going into sunday, and i dont know if he won by sure brilliance, or what - but had the FIA been as strict with Ferrari's bending of the rules as they were with McLaren, do you really think Kimi would have still won?
