What could he have done? Mistake was Ferraris strategy, they should of put him a lot of fuel in Q3 and trust in that KERS at the start. I think both Ferrari drivers are doing very good job at the moment.Quote:

He's also a very likable person, IMO, and I appreciate him quite a lot lately.
However his fan(atic)s are pi$$ poor.
I mentioned that because Massa has proved himself amazing qualifier. Kimi has done very good job in qualifying this year comparing his success against Massa, unlike in previous years. So my point was that Kimi was very good throughout the weekend and no need to bash him because Ferrari chose wrong strategy. Mass did an excellent race. Kimi is one of my favourite drivers, but Im not a fanatic. Useless bashing just annoys me.Quote:

I stand by by original comment and dont have to justify it at all, Kimi does it for me all by himself.
Discussion over.
It looks like Toyota vs Ferrari fight in WCC is really getting more serious as the season develops... :p :
As for the comments above, I have to mention that Silverstone should be among the better circuits, when we are talking about overtaking opportunities. Alonso and Hamilton managed to have a really entertaining fight, for example. Kimi with KERS really could have tried at least something on track, instead of this he actually seemed to get under pressure from Glock by the end of the race. Maybe his race pace wasn't that good? In the first stint KR didn't seem close to Nakajima either, who was lighter only by one lap.
So, it looks like they will be 'pulling a 'Honda',... so to speak.

In Ferrari's case given that the KERS is under the fuel tank, the upscaling of the fuel tank might not even make that big of a difference.
Brawn and Todt weren't fool proof either. Just think about 2005.Quote:

I agree that they didn't usually repeat their mistakes and the measures were prompt and effective, however there were different circumstances and mainly less constraints back then, so I'm not sure that the situations really are comparable.Quote:

I think you've just admitted that you are qualified for the job of FIA president.Quote:

thanks, but having been locked up with a bunch of loonies in the hospital a couple of years ago, after they let me out, I was told to stay away from personal contact with those sorts. Besides, they gave this certificate to the judge that said I was no longer delusional to the extent of being a danger to others, and far worse, was cured of kleptomania....Quote:

Why would they wait till Monza??
So one of ferrari drivers will leave team in a mess, this could be a moment Alonso has been waiting for, or another debacle moment for the two times WDC.
But at least he will have opportunity that is always better than not at all, I think this is the closest approach that will happen ...
There is only one chance for Fernando to drive the Ferrari next year and that would require all the teams running 3 cars. As that will not happen, Fernando would be better off to change for another team. Maybe Brawn? There he could whip Jensons butt.Quote:

But then, you'd have known that if you were a real Ferrari fan.
In fact Kimi has a 3 years contract (2007-2009) with an option for one more year.
It's up to him to decide if he stays or if he goes.
Maybe if Ferrari through FIAT will give him the possibility to run a full WRC season next year he will decide to leave F1, who knows.
Yes they do.....if he deserves it.Quote:
