I believe that someone can be a fan without idolizing anyone.
I'm not the kind of person who believes without questioning and that's why I technically can't have idols of any kind.

I feel that Kimi took an advantage on the grippy run off on the outside of the track, but this would have been something Kimi had discussed in his briefing with the team. Kimi used the same advantage in the 2008 GP, so he had prior knowledge of how to make it work. There is a loophole in the rules and because he didn't cut the chicane, there was no problem in the stewards eyes. Hamilton also obeyed the rules after his illegal advantage but was caught out on a technicality and difference of human opinion, so I agree that there needs to be transparancy. Hopefully we will see this from now on... :)

Hopefully.

Opinions truly are like assholes.

How do the Ferrari fans see the competition between the 2 drivers now? When will the first public whining start? By Monaco?

I think 2010 will prove that either Felipe has been underrated by many, or Fred has been overrated by many. Felipe outperformed Kimi quite a few times, and Kimi is no slouch. I expect to see Fred whining within 3-4 races. :)

Hence, ferrari will compete the next season in perfect form, provided the car is quite up to meet the challenge. Either of them has good designation developing the car, they should have worked hardly while the season is off, just wait and see that this combination works out and mutual symbiosis taken effect.
I don't see Felipe is hard person to work with and Fernando is supposed to learn from failures in his former team. Don't make the very self same mistake...

I honestly think Ferrari will be up there challenging next year, possibly the team to beat.
I´m sure lessons have been learned this year and Ferrari will bounce back next year with Alonso leading the way.
All in all I feel next year will be a much closer battle at the front between 3 or even 4 teams.

Why is it so difficult to admit that you idolize MS? Theres nothing wrong with that. On the contrary.

I think you have on several occasions proven to not accept the faults MS made even though everyone else saw those (wont go into those now). That qualifies to be idolizing in my books. There is absolutely nothing wrong about that but it makes any discussion with you practically impossible.

Ive always cheered for Finnish drivers and for the last 9 years its been mostly for Kimi. Now I dont know anymore. It will be difficult to force yourself seeing lap after lap with no overtaking when there are no Finns on the grid.

Nico is of course half Finnish, but unless he returns to drive under the Finnish flag... dunno. And Im afraid it´ll be a long time before another Finnish title contender comes along.

But hey, more time to other stuff on Sundays :)

Because it's not true.
I'll go even as far as saying that I mention his name far less than any of his detractors around here. Does that mean you idolize him?! :laugh:

Get a grip man, everyone isn't like you.

This might be a technicality but you say you mention his name far less than any of his detractors. Does mentioning him in every single one of your posts through the context of your signature count towards this?? ;)

"Michael Schumacher the best ever F1 driver"

Only joshin :p :

No your'e not, you are trolling.

You are certainly not adding to the discussion.

Go and start a Mclaren fans thread.

Erm, the 2008 Japanese GP was held at Fuji.
