Er, and? That doesn't make him particularly special in my book. As I said, I don't miss him. But I emphasise, that's just my opinion and I'm not looking for reasons to change it......

Suzuka 2005.

Kimi was magic that year, the one lap quali system didn't help him at all as more than once when his car died he had to go out first in the next qualifying session

Gosh, this is hard!

Didn't someone once say Golf ruins a good walk?

I always liked Kimi, his character and his racing style, but he did dissapoint me in the last two years at Ferrari. I guess the environment was suited to him... pity. But today seeing how things work at Ferrari and F1' in general, I can't blame him, the far the better.

When he really turned it on, he was great to watch, but that seemed to be all too infrequently to me. More often he seemed as bored with his job as his post-race/retirement interview persona.....

"Sorry, I was taking a ****" .... boring? Really?

So youre saying someone winning three WDCs wouldnt make them special? Even Haug had said that Mercedes cost Kimi two WDCs

He didn't win them though, did he......

Hey, it's my opinion - you can disagree - it's a free world... ;

going along those lines you could also say Ferrari cost Massa the 2008 WDC (Hungary/Singapore)..

**Aysedasi** · 12 Oct 2010, 14:05 (Ref:2773808)

We could take this line right back to Stirling Moss, I suspect......

I could say that, but I havent heard Domenicali say that. There's a difference
