Raikkonen himself said it was easier to drive than his FRenault car, it's the driver saying that, not me. He posted some very fast times, so it could be argued that he is pretty close to mastering the thing. I see your point about the likes of Magnusson, but I think that has more to do with the very narrow band of driving styles that are competitive with current F1 cars - see also Zanardi. Stopping Raikkonen from receiving a superlicence is nothing more than papering over the ever-multiplying cracks.
The FIA need to start taking action before F1 becomes something of a joke.
