I can happily accept a driver struggling to achieve results because of the car, but not a driver whose performance drops because he isn't motivated.

IIRC, in 2009, the car was so utterly awful, even Fisi (who, I reluctantly admit, was doing quite well in the Force India) was nowhere in it. And I bet he was motivated - an Italian, in a Ferrari.......

Agreed, but no-one was ever going to beat the 2012 Red Bull.

You're right. I will no longer engage the claimed tifosi who talk smack. I think they are scared their hero Alonso will have to race Kimi on equal terms and no longer have a lap dog. Otherwise why would they talk smack about someone who for all practical purposes is now part of the Ferrari team?

But that's ok... I can understand why they are nervous. In two years Kimi only brought them one WDC, with Felipe just missing the other. And the two had a 100% record of bringing home the constructors title as well. Things are just sooooooo much better now, right?

I'm sure Kimi is hoping Ferrari start to deliver when he arrives next year as a lot of the expectation is on him when the team itself has under-performed for the past 5 years. Kimi appears to be on top of his game at present but I couldn't say the same for Ferrari. I think they have more to prove than him at this point, and I'm sure they know that. Mia is very right in her observation of this thread too.

I'm sure they have lots of bright shiny objects at your Nursery to entertain you.

And lots of little boys for you and your friends to pick on.

What does that mean? Apart from being rude, it means nothing.

Can you not have a debate without the derogatary wisecracks?

Certainly, with those who wish to debate, and can do so without being a part of the angry mob.

Like your good self? My impression is that you are your own man.

We make our own beds, after all.

Oh, you mean 'he started it'.

Silly me.

I am married, so am no longer my own man.......

I am quite versed at mass debating.........
