That's what Kimi said isn't it? When he was asked whether Michael would be giving on advice concerning his driver Kimi replied 'No, why would he?'. I've just been on the ITV website, but the article isn't on the main page. I read the quote on a few different sources though, I'm sure you must have come across it a couple of times yourself if you read the F1 sites during a race weekend.Quote:

Schumi seems put on extra pounds..ooppsss it seems he is tucking on crisps & beer while watching nailbiting quali's and grandprix's ..lol
Well Kimi is Kimi with what he says. I can understand why he didn't want to take advice from him as Schumi was one of Kimi's rivals last years and Schumi beat him. So he may be sour over that.
Good to see Schmi trying to help though, obiously it's helping Massa more than Kimi.
I'm not sure how much he would have been able to help concerning the cure for understeer, in a car he has never driven, in the new breed of bridgestone tyres he has never experienced, and without having driven an F1 car with this years specs.Quote:

The fact Ferrari's technical director Mario Almondo said this weekend, when asked about what Michael's contribution was he said 'He is consistently able to give us a very interesting point of view that is very very useful most of the time, of course, we can't go into detail but we are happy about that."
I don't think he could have been any more vague on what exactly Michael is doing

Now granted, I don't race cars I write computer applications, but there are times when a collegue has been struggling with an issue and I've been able to offer suggestions. I've never worked on his project but I've had similar issues on projects myself in the past. I've even said things like "hey, remember that memory leak we had on that finance prediction project we worked on a few years ago and the problem was blah blah blah" and sometimes even though that might not be the answer, it triggers something else as a potential cause to be investigated.
Do you think it's possible that maybe Schumi has driven an understeering car before and managed to dial out the problem and might possibly say something like "hey, remember when the F2002 was understeering and we fixed it by...."
As I posted above, Kimi and Massa are different people with very different personalities. I just wonder who here really knows how Kimi feels about SchM being there, and knows enough about his presence in the Ferrari garage to start commenting on what the reactions of the different personnel there.
If I were Kimi, I would not let Michael into the garage again.
Some one saw him mess up with the electronics of Kimi's car! :vader:
bad boy Michael!

Race - you are getting really desperate when you talk to yourself here - :D
How can you possibly ask yourself to post a link? I nearly fell for it, but double checked to see who you were talking to :p :
