To threadstarter, your topic kinda mislead la...."World Champion again " maybe you can change it to "Next season possible World Champion"

This is wut i saw from the press conference release in F1 racing live.com prior to this weekend's race...they are comparing the safety car and MP4-21 on who has led the race more..haha

actually Ron demands a clean workplace..u can dl some videos from mclaren website regarding the Mclaren Technology Center..its tidy and u wont b able to find a screw on the floor or piece of paper on the floor.. its a great place..

haiya...y he crash..waste mclaren money only...i sure ron dennis fed up wif him liao coz kimi's heart in ferrari already n he no longer hv heart to race...some more,wanna bang the car..aduh...

Kimi Raikkonen
"It got very messy at the start. I tried to avoid a spinning Fisichella, but then Speed hit my left rear tyre causing a puncture. I drove for almost a whole lap with a damaged tyre in order to get back to the pits to see what could be done. The team changed my tyre, but I think the car must have incurred quite a lot of damage at this point. When I re-joined the race, I came into Turn 4, had no rear end grip, got sideways, ran out of road, hit the tyre wall and that was it. My back is a bit sore but nothing to worry about. I'm obviously disappointed that my race was over so quickly, but there was nothing we could do.

damn, was i worried when kimi took his time to get out of the car. i thought he sustained some serious injury or something.

Ron Dennis
"Pedro drove a very good race, using our one-stop strategy to achieve a solid fifth position. Kimi's accident was the result of Fisichella's incident at the start which led to Speed hitting Kimi from behind, damaging his left rear tyre. The subsequent tyre failure damaged the bodywork, as Kimi was making his way back to the pits. This changed the aerodynamic characteristics of the car and on re-joining the race Kimi ran wide at Turn 4. The impact jolted his back, but our team doctor is optimistic that Kimi will be able to test as planned at Monza this week."

nv md what.ferrari will give mclaren conpensation if kimi can kamikaze DNF alonso 4 all remaining races n help ferrari win the title back.

when kimi starts from the middle of the pack sure got knocked out by other cars..this time he was avoiding the collision then got bang from the back..hiez..he's really a no lucker..

Really unlucky for Kimi again yesterday
De La Rosa saves the day for Mclaren with points again alone

kimi overtaking skill is superb..

but he seems to get himself into trouble quite often....

technical prb, car breakdown, got himself bang, n bang on other oso....haih...

hope his luck will be better when he's at ferrari next season...

can't wait to c him in podium again...

If I recall correctly if Michael calls it quits at Ferarri, it is rumored that ALOT of engineers, mechanics are leaving as well, take this with a grain of salt, even Ross Brawn is considering taking either a sabbatical or retirement. Just imagine what this will do to Kimi's chances of winning a WDC with Ferarri if that happens.If this is all heresay and conjecture then thats cool, as Kimi will be with a team that has the most data on Bridgestone tyres, that alone could win him his first WDC. However I also would like to see both he and Alonso race together in the same car, we all know both are talented drivers,anyway Monza is drawing near, Ferarri will announce their driver lineup for 2007, anyone taking wagers on that one ? :-p

but without the proper people that has the talent to continue research and development to push ferrari forward how far can kimi and the team go? maybe for the next 3 seasons while the engine development freeze is in effect but what happens after that?

perhaps ferrari will be able to recruit the necessary talent required in that 3 years time but we'll just have to wait and see about that i guess

well success takes time 2 build.if ferrari can build the class of 2000 on time,i m sure the team can do the same 4 the new driver.

Ferrari is cld be the most successful F1 team of all time. But, it is also full of controversy too. Illegal testing is annoying of all when they are not in winning form. Not forgetting the preferential treatment from Bridgestone

this is all for the sake of the team,if m.shumacher decided to retire at the end of this season,maybe ferrari first choice driver kimi raikkonen will leave mclaren for renault already,or choose to stay at mclaren,ferrari hav to do it earlier

Bro jackygwh, u got in the wrong section    McLaren Mercedes here. We hope 1-2 and not Ferrari in this thread.  

And due to the erratic Mr.Dennis, the technical staffs always change. Just take a look at the car nose design..They changed to slim aligator style a couple of years ago. A whole buch of gremlins appeared. Then, change to wide nose again (almost won) and then, back to aligator style again this year. At the launch of this year's machine, I already know McLaren is going to wait for another year to challenge for the crown. That design simply doesn't work!!

they better get things done if not might b suffering, might end up dunno where

Ron Dennis might have taken his eye of the ball sometimes but this is still a guy responsible for McLaren dominance in the 80's with Senna and Prost as well as the late 90's with Mika. McLaren has never been shy to try innovative designs and sometimes it will bite us in the ass. To criticise Ron, the change of technical staff, the car design, etc just shows how clueless u r. The FIA changes rules every season and the team that reacts best to the changes will end up as the frontrunner of that season. This is a sport where even a 0.01% difference could mean u finish as runner-up rather than champions
There is no foundation in accusations of the FIA being biased as the reason why we haven't been consistently winning. Our time will come don't worry. I have no doubt about it.
