Raikkonen downbeat...again

Maybe that's what the new Ferrari mid-wing is for - two external hooks for additional weights.

I personally don't think Kimi was playing a game, he too boring and honest.

He knows Ferrari and has seen the new Williams and is pre-empting tough competition in the first few races - so get your excuse in first.

You can never tell - but on the first impressions we get, the Mac looks like it is lacking the innovation required to overhaul Ferrari - at least Williams are risking new ideas in an attempt to win.

Whatever the deal, bet there's a bit of frost on all that polished aluminum in Ron's motorhome. It's not his style to make any such comments.

Coulthards been sandbagging for about 8 years, to lure everyone into a false sence of security, and this year he's gonna......do exactly the same.

The ultimate goal is to do it again this year so that next year at Minardi he can pull out all the stops. Pure genious.

That may explain his face shape - perhaps he keeps a sandbag in each cheek - like a hamster

I think that website may just be blowing things out of proportion.

I've heard elsewhere that this pit-stop fire was minor, caused by a split fuel hose and that Kimi actually continued and completed a race distance.

The McLaren seems to have run reasonably reliably - the problems were with development parts for later in the year.

Sand-bagging.

its not sand its firerepelent.

I understnad that testing is not the exact order that the championship will finish, but they are having problems...not just being slow, and when they are offpace they are offpace to the point of not learning anything, not just sandbagging

New McLaren not surprised Kimi is downbeat

[Rennen]

Good!

[Kicking-back]

Pathetic.

I agree with Rennen, a fin could be jumping for joy and you might mistake him for asleep. The only scandinavian that I know of that breaks the mold is Solberg. He interviews very well, always posative and funny.
