    They usually change race engineers when things haven't worked the way they should have.

    Engineer: What do you think?
    Raikkonen: I think it works if it works but if it doesn't it doesn't work so it appears to work because it didn't not work that's why it works so it works.

    Either that or they managed to find a really good Finnish F1 level engineer.
    Anyway I don't think it was the engineer the one at fault last season.

    Without a doubt, he had same engineer (as far as I'm aware) in 2007, and beginning of 2008 where he looked set to dominate.

    It was because the development of the car went more in favour of Massa.

    I heard a strong rumour to changes to brakes, which Kimi simply couldn't heat up, hinting to his often fastest lap of race, but slow one lap performances in qualifying and beginning of the races.

    Notice, how his performances did start to improve near the end again, where he even beat Massa (in performance anyway) at China. I heard that Ferrari reverted back developments they'd done for just Kimi car.

    No sources for the eagle eyed though sorry, I'm just recalling from what I read over course of the season.
