A lot of people here on the forum don't seem to think he is much of a driver and I'd like to see Kimi prove them wrong once again. He didn't post that many fast laps by being an average driver.
I'll say it now and make it clear. Regardless of where he finishes this season I'm very excited to see Kimi back in F1.

It is so easy as the weight sensitivity of F1 cars is such that you can make a car artificially a second or two quicker if you need to.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

By the way, can I shamelessly plug the link in my signature (no money or advertising is involved)? I find it handy to have as a side window during sessions, and is quite handy during testing.

Daniel Ricciardo has the dubious honour of causing the first red flag of 2012, stopping on Jerez's main straight. FWIW he is currently 4th fastest.
