    My thoughts exactly! Can you imagine someone like Kimi getting overwhelmed by pressure? You have to be a tough mother****er to succeed in such a competitive sport, and Heikki has always seemed like a softie to me. But like Mikko, I hope he eventually proves me wrong!

    Heikki's admitted that "I didn't have a great race: there were too many mistakes, and my performance just wasn't controlled enough" and that just about sums it up, but he's a good driver and we'll see better from him as the season goes on.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Indeed, he is getting compared to Hamilton which makes his performance look worse but you don't get allowed too much time to settle into the car in F1.

    If it hadn't been for the amazing performance of Hamilton, Heikki's debut performance wouldn't have looked too shabby for a rookie.

    There were more mistakes than one would expect for a driver in a top team, but I don't see any reason to write him off just yet, he's a proven quantity and will doubtless do very well.

    Well, his performance wasn't unexpected for a debutant, I mean this is how we expect a rookie to race his debut, right? Only if it wasn't for Hamilton...

    I'll still give him minimum 6-8 racec before I pass any kind of judgment on him.

    You are getting to be a Hard Man, Pino.

    Heikki made typical Rookie mistakes... let's wait to see how he is doing mid-season !

    He didn't have a good race. Neither did a very experienced driver like DC. No big deal.
    You can't make a person love another person. You can only pray for it.

    Stupid rules => stupid consequences :s
