Kimi's mistake cost him the win but had he not have cocked it up.Justice is blind but doesn't have to be stupid.

I have always thought Kimi is over-rated, and he just confirms it again and again. He's very fast, but it's not much use being fast on lap 57 when you should have been fast in Q3. He just doesn't have the mental strength to be champion imo.
If he had maintained close contact with Massa all the way through the last part of the race, without breaking the team's rules/requests/instructions, he could have shown Massa that but for his mistake in Q3 Kimi would be winning. This would serve to plant a little fear/doubt in Massa's mind at the next Q3, and would also let his squad in the team know that he's trying to eliminate his "off" days, to show he's working for them. Kimi loses interest too easily.

The hardest part of the race is how to beat our own ego and maximize it as a power. I see neither current Ferrari drivers have that mental strength as Schumi, although we can't deny that both of them are fast.
Once they found something isn't in line with what they want or expected, they tend to lose interest on fighting easily.
I can't help admitting Alonso's spirit earns praise which keep on fire amid favoritism issue on Hamilton.
