Kimi only performs when Kimi feels like it, thats why Ferrari have cast him aside.

Kimi was not beaten comprehensively by Massa if you look at scored points per finished race, qualifying positions, WDC's. They were very very equal for the last three years according to statistics.

PS: He has a few very knowledgeable fans that I learned to appreciate, but they are very few. :)

Next year is going to be interesting, for me at least. I have to forget about Heikki's treatment and start cheering for Mclaren again, on the other hand I will be supporting a certain currently injured Brasilian in a red car. It's not going to be easy. :rolleyes: Fred isn't the most popular man around here by the way.

Heikki's treatment???

I'll be supporting Massa too, and Alonso too for that matter.

Fact 1: Heikki has been slow, no doubt about it.
Fact 2: Heikki has been forced to qualify heavy on most races.
Fact 3: Heikki has got updates later than Hamilton. (Nurburgring a good example)

I believe, and hope, Kimi will be treated in a more equal way which means getting the updates at the same time.

I'm not being nasty here, because I like Heikki, but he hasn't always made the best of good grid positions.

I think point 3 is a little harsh, because IMO if they don't have enough new parts for both drivers then they should leave them at home, but regardless, Hamilton has been faster.

However Kovy has still got a decent points total this year.

Uh? WDC: Kimi - 1, Massa - 0.

Kimi has always struck me as a driver who would retire early; so although McLaren is the obvious (only) option for a competetive ride next season there is still a chance he won't have the motivation to return to the team and try to re-establish himself at team McHamilton when he was once clear number one.

We shall see.

And you can stop bashing Kimi now as a Ferrari driver and start hating him as a McL drive again. Makes life so much simpler, doesnt it? :)

"For the moment, I haven't decided what I want to do next, whether I want to continue racing or not. I had a contract for next year, but now I don't, so that changes things. So maybe I race, maybe I do not."

It will be very sad if he retires. He can at least try more rallying or Le Mans, not just retire after such insulting treatment from Ferrari :(
