Well we should think of Villnueve being bitter because of the unspectacular end to his carrer; this sounds more like just an honest opinion.
There isn't much in F1 that Jo Ramirez has not seen. To me, he makes some interesting and accurate observations. He also has some valuable inside knowledge on which to base his opinions.
It must be irritating Kimi a little that everyone is talking up Massa's chances. Maybe Kimi will feel that he has a point to prove. It may be benefit him in the long term.
It's also significant that Ramirez is confident that Lewis Hamilton will be a sensation. Such a seasoned observer would not make such comments lightly.
Ramirez knows his onions, but only time will tell who comes out on top.
Personally, I think Kimi will beat Massa comfortably.
Massa may have the upper hand initially, because of his momentum and position and stature within the team, but Kimi should come on stronger as the season progresses and he feels more comfortable.
Massa will dismantle Kimi easily and expose him. KR is a very overrated driver. I found it funny last year and in 2005 how he struggled at times against a driver like Pedro de la Rosa
So I'm going to suppose the fact that Kimi took JPM - a WDC contender- apart in the same machinery is irrelevant, because Felipe managed 2 wins in a far superior car (on days when the Ferrari was the quickest car by far, and when his team-mate struck trouble) in 2006 as opposed to 0 for Kimi... right?Quote:

That double standard comes from them being bitter about Jacques , not Jacques being bitter about F1 .
Bit ironic , don't you think ?
JPM was extremely overrated - He never did manage to squash Ralf as he was supposed to, in fact, they were usually equal. He also didnt impress me when he drove against Gene. So its only normal that Kimi had it easy against JPM. But my opinion on kimi is based on how he performed against Pedro, he wasnt that impressive at all and was quite often actually SLOWER than Pedro.Quote:
