Hi guys - fellow F1 fans~

1st of all, I'm a BIG fan of Kim - the Iceman. I support Ferrari team now due to the Iceman. I'd been a fan of McLaren team since the Flying Finn, Mika, days...

The man Hamilton should fear


http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport...one/6265966.stm


Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo describes Kimi Raikkonen as the driver "everyone fears" - but the Finn has done little to justify that description this season.

The man regarded as the world's fastest racing driver has struggled to adapt to Ferrari following his move from McLaren as replacement for Michael Schumacher.

But it is clear who is potentially the most dangerous Ferrari driver as long as the man Di Montezemolo calls "the real Raikkonen" has indeed finally emerged - there have already been murmurings from within the team that Raikkonen has forced them to re-evaluate their understanding of what is possible, even with Schumacher as their reference point.

Raikkonen's inconsistent form this year has gone a long way to underlining why, while he is regarded as the fastest driver in F1, it was Alonso who started this year regarded as the best (a position which will be under threat from Hamilton if things carry on as they are).

While there is no doubt about Raikkonen's pace, his application out of the car is another matter - both at the circuit and away from it, where his fondness for what might euphemistically be called liquid refreshment is well known.

Raikkonen's dominant victory at the first race in Australia hid the problems he was having adapting to Ferrari - and particularli to Bridgestone's tyres.

Alonso had similar problems at McLaren, as the Japanese rubber is designed with a different philosophy from the Michelin tyres they had grown used to over the previous years and requires a fundamental change in driving style.

So the Iceman is the WORLD's fastest "drunken master" racing driver


The British media(BBC & ITV) also stated that "Raikkonen's is seen as arguably the fastest driver in the world"

8 races to go... if the Iceman could get few more fastes laps... then he might overtake Mika in the ranking at the end of this season...

That's the reason why they've labelled the Iceman "the world's fastest racing driver"...


GO GO Kimi!
