Points lost due to own fault: 14.
- Blew out of guaranteed victory 3 laps from the end. Minus 10 points.
- Singapore Fuel Hose incident and resulting drive-through from the lead. Minus 10 points. (He was leading comfortably)
Points lost not due to his own fault: 20.
Raikkonen:
- Crashed into Sutil from 5th in Monaco. No points. Minus 4.
- Crashed into wall in Singapore from 4th. Minus 5 points.
- Spun out of 2nd in Spa. Minus 8 points.
Points lost due to own fault: 17.
- Taken out by Hamilton in Montreal. Minus 6-10 points. (Generous, he was only in front due to the pit lane rules at the time, did not look like winning at all)
- Team error at Monaco dropped him from 2nd to 5th. Minus 4.
Points lost not due to own fault: 10-14 points.
So, best case scenario:
Points lost due to own error: FM 14 - KR 17. (About the same)
Points lost due to error not of their own fault: FM 20 - KR 17 (About the same as well)
So, they both lost the same amount of points due to errors both of their own making and by others.
Points:
Massa: 97
Raikkonen: 75
So where'd those 22 points come from?
Also:
Wins:
Massa: 6
Raikkonen: 2
Poles:
Massa: 6
Raikkonen: 2
Fastest Laps:
Massa: 3
Raikkonen: 10.
There's your maths.
I don't expect you to accept it but there they are.
Based on what?
At the end of Germany, Massa had 22 points, Kimi had 10.
I was a big Raikkonen fan in '05-'06 but, hard as it was to eventually admit, Massa had the measure of him and then some.
You ignored Brazil 2007, conveniently.
