2. Massa having an upper hand in some of the races due to strategy:
British GP, Kimi started 9th and made a very good start but had very little fuel on board, Massa started 11th with a lot more fuel and benefited from that. Ferrari made a bad call on Kimi's strategy. FACT
3. Massa had an upper hand in some races due to pace. (I don't think we need a link) FACT
I also wrote that Kimi had more technical problems than Massa which prevented him from scoring points FACT

4. Kimi scoring a podium on merit. If you start second and finish third and shadow the cars in front of you, in the real world that is a podium on merit. If you benefit from a slow car holding others up, you gain an advantage because of that and to an extent inherit your position. Massa drove very well in that race, I'm not saying that.
These arguments are debatable but bs they aren't. It's just sad that civil discussion is so hard here.
Ferrari Push To Field Third Car In 2010

same old BS or not ?

FERRARI PRESIDENT Luca di Montezemolo will push for his team to run three cars next season in a bid to entice Michael Schumacher back to Formula 1.
Schumacher’s brief flirtation with a return to the sport ended after it was revealed his neck was unable to withstand the rigours of Formula 1.
However, Di Montezemolo believes the departure of BMW Sauber at the end of the year will create an opportunity for two of the sport’s established giants to field an extra car on the grid, and provide the seven-time World Champion with a chance to launch his comeback.
And he believes Schumacher would have no trouble adapting to the changes which have affected Formula 1 since his retirement in 2006.
“Well we’re talking about Michael Schumacher. He is 40 years old, but he’s still from another planet,” Di Montezemolo told Italy’s La Stampa.
Well MS quit at F1 but it didn't stop the sh!t that his fanatics are still spreading on this board. ;)Quote:

What they should do instead is say that every team can field a 3rd car, that is not supposed to get points if the 2 main drivers finish the race, in order to give young driver the possibility to get practice in a F1 car. They can put whomever they want in the 3rd car as long as the person qualifies for a superlicence, and also change them as often as they want.
Good try! ;)Quote:

I dont know what season you have been watching, other than troll-land, but this year Kimi and Felipe have indeed been equal. I think they have both made the most of the ty car they have had to deal with.Quote:

It is impossible to debate with ioan, because he will just ignore your arguments and then tell you not to respond to him again.Quote:

I'm with Luca M and wouldn't say he's amazing buy worthy of a drive.
I agree that his salary is too big for today's F1. The real question is whether Kimi is over-hyped or Felipe under-valued. If Felipe is better than people think, then there is certainly nothing wrong with Kimi's performance.Quote:
