Kimi's Problem

Results talk, bull walks.

the he better learn how to pass someone. But Massa is driving the wheels off of the car right now and he will be very hard to beat. I hopes it rains again so we can see if he is just bad in the rain of the car was to fault at silverstone. Kimi is just looking like a top fast runner but nothing special. Kinda like HK

You told Massa his Ferrari was stolen, didn't you!!

Its looking some how funny but very sad for Kimi, he must try more to rectify this kind of issues

Why don't you all just ask him

Louise Goodman already tried that!

not really,

last I checked Kimi is still 3rd in points at 57 and 7 behind Massa, a win or 2nd place finish in the next race coupled with a massa DNF puts him right back ahead of massa.

Considering what he is being paid, Kimi should be spanking Massa, not the other way round!

You cannot rate a driver for how much they pay him, i.e. Ralf Schumacher :

He said he isn't intrested.

But isn't that obvious?

I have always thought Kimi is a bit overrated. During his time in F1 several mythical virtues have been ascribed to him by groups of F1 fans, like The Fastest Driver, The Best Overtaker, The Best Wet Weather Driver... or whatever. Life has shown that those titles are more like subjective opinions rather than genuine proof, which has been confirmed on the racing circuit. I still ironically remember, how years ago he was expected to beat M. Schumacher in the same car, something which the last seasons have proven wouldn't have happened.

However, I think Kimi is capable of more than what he is currently showing and it is strange to see him getting trashed by his team-mate. He should be capable of matching him. If he continues driving like that, then maybe it would be a good decision to leave already after 2008...

My opinion, for what it's worth, is that Kimi could have benefitted from a few more seasons in lower formulae.

He was superb in Formula Renault but I can't help wondering, with hindsight, if a few more years learning the ropes (say in F3000 as it was then) might have made him a more complete F1 driver.

He's clearly quick, of that there's never been any doubt, but all too often one hears questions about his ability to blend in with a team and make a valuable contribution to its development. There's so much more to F1 than turning up at the weekend and driving the car quickly, something which Michael Schumacher knew better than most and something which Massa seems to appreciate.
