Kimi the loner (will never win a WDC)

[bontebempo]

Well it was obvious for all to see that Kimi looks after No.1

You dont leave the circuit if you retire. You support your team. Win and lose together. With that attitude why would any of the engineers really care? I small part of them do a better job on Massa's car i think. As long as one of their drivers win hey? Kimi will never win a WDC at Ferrari. See if im wrong.

I think a few drivers do this... not just Kimi. Not all, true, but it's not unheard of!

If Kimi reaches his 2005 form, he might just win it, but for now, he seems slower than his teammate. Then again, so seems Alonso and nobody will write him off, would he?

Kimi will never win a title - Mark my words.

[bontebempo]

i have already marked your words.

I get the feeling that he's just enjoying getting the cash at Ferrari. Suppose to him he has already 'won' his world championship. Getting megga bucks at Ferrari. The rest is a bonus.

Not to be harsh or impolite, but I think that party-life also have its negative effects on him

[Eki]

Yes, Mika Häkkinen was probably right. He should never have left McLaren. Newcomer Alonso and rookie Hamilton are doing great at McLaren. Kimi may have done better, since he had already been with the team for years.

I agree with you. I wonder about that too.

[Gannex]

I think you're reading a bit too much into this, guys. So he left the track. Big deal. Everyone knows Kimi is not a grafter like Michael was. That's not something you get with Kimi. But what you do get with him, and it will stand the team in good stead as the season goes on, is an incredible driving talent. The Ferraris look fastest at the moment, and combining that fantastic car with Kimi's undoubted skill will yield numerous wins for Kimi this year, and a possible WDC. The fact that he left the track after going out of this Grand Prix will make no difference when viewed from the perspective of the end of the season.

[F1boat]

Well, I think that if Kimi really wants this championship, he might have to win in the Principality.
