God I'm gonna miss Kimi in a McLaren.
Damn McLaren...why can't you give Kimi a better car?

Come to think of it, I support the driver compare to the team  smile.gif
Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen...now Kimi Raikkonen.
But Senna tops it all.
Very good in any conditions...dry and rain...in rain...he is the master.
Even Schumacher can't match Senna in the rain.

I have the same way as well..smile.gif I supported mclaren because of Senna, Mika and Kimi.. Now than Kimi is joining Ferrari.. what a great lost for Mclaren and I cant imagine Kimi in that red outfit. rolleyes.gif If Ferarri as compatitive as this year, I am pretty sure title is on the way to KIMI!! This guy has so much to give out..

I am thinking, what would alonsa says if Kimi wins the title? rolleyes.gif After monza he was saying Schumy is the most unsporting driver..bla bla bla.. May be if Kimi wins the title, Alonso will be blaming Mclaren's car..

Ayrton Senna joined McLaren in 1988 and won the 1988 WDC  shakehead.gif
We'll see whether Lewis Hamilton can do the same when he join McLaren one day.
Of course, he needs to be good in dry and the wet as well.
Senna fly in the wet...can you believe that?

If Kimi won the WDC with Ferrari...then he's better than Michael.
Michael joined Ferrari in 1996 and finally won his 1st WDC with Ferrari in 2000.
Imagine if Kimi joined Ferrari instead of Sauber on his debut for Formula 1?

I bet Alonso won't have nothing so say about Kimi when Kimi won it.
Kimi never had any problems with anyone since joining Formula 1.
He's cool...that's why they call him the Iceman.
Mika = fyling finn, Kimi = Iceman...correct?


Besides, Kimi won't do controversial act that Michael did the past and present.
I really hope that Ferrari does not destroy Kimi's reputation by whining to FIA
everytime like they did till now.
If it favors Ferrari, then it would just allowing Alonso's bad mouth Kimi the way
he did to Michael.
Let Massa do it like he did at Monza, don't give a damn about him.
Kimi leads the way  thumbup.gif

I really hope Kimi will get the title in his first season with Ferrari... What more can I say about this finnish Iceman.. I just love to see him every time he drives.. his brave and talent on every races he drives.

Yes, I agree with you that Kimi wont do controversial act what Michael did.. and hopefully this will go on while he is in Ferrari. Otherwise, it will just give Alonso's bad mouth a chance to say bad thing about Kimi.

Kimi will not be better than MS. He is good, but not as good.

MS built the Ferrari to what it's today. Kimi just inherited the car.

Same as what Rossi is doing to Honda and Yamaha

You cant compare the two drivers, they are different.. nowadays, you are not only looking at their skills, but also rely on a reliable car. Look at last season.. Mclaren and Renault were so strong.. because they have got a better package and tyre. It is impossible to compare them.

MS built the Ferrari? Mm.. sorry, I dont quite agree with that statement. A good driver needs a good car to race on. Put it this way, they need each other to build a better team.smile.gif

A good driver definitely needs a good car but fariz isn't wrong to say that MS brought Ferrari to where they are now. When he went to Ferrari with his team from Benetton (Todt, Brawn, etc) he was tasked to change their fortunes; Ferrari hadn't won anything for a very very very (hehe) long time. Needless to say, he succeeded with aplomb (after a few years of course) and he deserves all the success he has had.

I didnt say that fariz is wrong, I am just not quite agree with his/her statement. smile.gif Look back at what had happened last year, when Ferrari suffering from the tyre problem. People are questioning his skills compared to Mclaren and Renault that had better package to race on.. It is obvious, a car is definitely require to every drivers out there.

Technology is growing everyday.. take Ipod for example, last year they have ipod video, and this year Ipod shuffle mini. It's the same thing applies to Ferrari, their car is getting better and better.. if there is no improvement, there is definitely no ferrari today. smile.gif

We are not comparing the old days he had in Benetton, back at that time driver still not quite rely heavily on the realiability of car. every team sports that we are talking now is not only a one man team, but a TEAM! One man shows is not going to work things out...

I agree with linkinstreet, Schumy is a good driver, but he is not yet the best in F1. smile.gif

I don't think anyone questioned his skills. It was pretty clear Ferrari didn't have a good package last year.
IMO F1 has always been a team sport. In sporting essence that has never changed over the years. What i was trying to point out is if Schumi (together with his team) didn't join Ferrari in 1996, Ferrari wouldn't be the team they are today. They could even be still waiting for their first driver's title in over 20+ years. It's all speculation of course and it's no use thinking any more about it.

Yes, ppl (please note that, only certain, not everyone) questioned his skills, this I read from the papers. But, I never question his skills, because that is obvious Ferrari not as compatitive as they were that time.

As I pointed out, Technology is getting better, Ferrari is getting better and better.. and Schumy's team is in the right time to work it out with Ferrari. So, I would rather say they both (ferrari and Schumy's team) work together.. but not Schumy built the name of ferrari! smile.gif

OMG build the name of Ferrari!? I don't think anyone in their right mind would try to imply that. Ferrari as a brand was established way before F1. I think u just misunderstood the point that was being made. Schumi brought success in F1 back to Ferrari after they got 'lost' for a number of years. He and his team built the foundation on which that success is based on, not the name!! I'm kind of a traditionalist person and i would never say something like that. smile.gif

Sorry, I was referring to what fariz said : Schumy built to what Ferrari is today.. I mean name in F1.. that is what I am trying to point out he is not the one to built what ferarri is today in F1!

I cant wait to see Raikkinen in red next season... it's going to be interesting to see Massa Vs Raikkinen.. I have counted Massa out in my top driver lists last time.. But, this coming season, Massa is going to give Raikkinen difficult time..smile.gif

At the same time, I would love to see how Alonso's claming or blaming Maclaren cars.., biggrin.gif Dont get me wrong, I like Maclaren more than Ferrari, but their cars not as reliable as Ferrari..
