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

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

the whole reason they were able to bounce back so fast this season is because they have all those talented and skilled engineers. so what happens when most of them are gone? the problem now is with human resources and sometimes it's not just about hiring the best engineers out there but having a team which can work together.

not that i'm underestimating ferrari but none of us here know for sure whether ferrari are well prepared to handle their problem. maybe with ferrari's long experience in the field they know where to search for the right people. like i said, we can only wait and see

mclaren forever slow wan la. took them so long to churn out a fast (but unreliable ) car also last year

well according to this article it will be at monza

actually he rarely whines also. he lets his driving do the talking for him

i know i am

gonna change my comp wallpaper, phone wallpaper as well as go buy more red coloured shirts

i wouldn't say he failed to deliver. mclaren didn't give him a championship winning car till midway through the season with alonso already having a comfortable lead.

also, the car was unreliable. there were some races when kimi was comfortably leading before the car let go in some way. forgive me for not remembering the details as my brain is mostly filled with stuff for my exams next week

that was the european gp in nurburgring i think

he flat spotted his tyre while trying to lap villeneuve and was suffering heavy vibrations. then his suspension finally broke on the last lap handing alonso the race win

yes it was raining during qualifying at suzuka 2005. the rain was heaviest when michael schumi, alonso and both the mclaren's came out

i too will be more active in the ferrari thread starting next season. not that i have anything against fernando, i'm just following kimi

so might as well spam post here as much as i can now

maybe pedro will get the drive and it'll be an all spanish drivers team!

i was never really a mclaren fan. only here because kimi's here so i'm moving i guess

i'm sure the pure mclaren fans (like linkinstreet) will remain here regardless of who's driving for the team

lol. too bad i only drive a proton wira

you never know, man. alonso could be right. if mclaren turns out to be the team that dominates next season i wonder what would be going through kimi's head

i very much agree with that. look at how renault and fernando won the titles this year. they came out all flying and quick at the start of the season, managed to built up a healthy lead before the ferraris managed to improved and had to play catch-up but they still couldn't snatch it away from renault.

same goes for last year. mclaren had a car which was incredibly quick (and unreliable too ) but what's the point? renault had built up a gap at the start of the season which was too big for mclaren to catch up.

but they didn't now, did they? if ferrari started the season with that kinda car, then the advantage would have went to them.

exactly my point la. even with all of mclaren's improvements throughout the season and having the fastest car at the end of the season, a poor start to the season screwed everything and no, kimi did not ever top the WDC.
