I was also wondering if Kimi is still gonna get to use the short wheelbase car for this and the next races.

speedster_sid

So, did lotus bring the short wheel base car for Kimi here..?? Any news.?

speedster_sid

I followed the race only on live timing today and am a bit disappointed to see Kimi being beaten by Romain for the race. It is the second time in the year I guess. Since, the tyres have been changed Kimi has found it a bit difficult to switch them on and then on top of that a long wheelbase car whic...

Really bad and disappointing performance by kimi today. Now he will be again fast tommorow and be stuck behind the slower cars and start setting fast laps when he gets clear air in the end. He has always had issues with these supersoft tyres but, that is not an excuse. He can be a tenth behind but, ...

Enjoy Kimi's overtakes from singapore here...The one on Maldonado was really close..

Damn kimi is fast in the race..out of 20 laps he got about 12 fastest laps...

Mr Benson forgot Giancarlo Fisichella. A Driver who won Alonso several times despite his #2 status and was nowhere near Räikkönen when driving Ferrari. You want to compare Fisichella's performance in a car where he had very little time to adjust to, a car and team that Raikkonen had been at for alm...

To say the least it is not a done deal by far. I feel it is less likely for kimi to be at Ferrari than at Lotus.

speedster_sid

I do not think that it is the worst scenario if he stays at Lotus. They are not that bad at making cars even though Allison has left it should not be that bad.

speedster_sid

Now I wish that Kimi signs the deal with Ferrari to partner Alonso. we will see rather than all this forum bashing stuff...!!

speedster_sid

First of all I think his comment" They Roll" is from his time at Mclaren or Ferrari If I am not wrong and second is the fact that he got a lot of "demotivated and stuff" from media for giving these answers. After all that I do not think there is any part of Kimi that cares a rat's a** about all this...

Lewis has got everything that a brilliant driver needs to have. I think he excels as a underdog.But, I still have to see him fighting toe to toe with sebastian in the last three races for the championship because, I still doubt that he has got the mental strength and focus of a sebastian or a Michae...

speedster_sid

I beleive that lewis is indeed one of the best if not the best in terms of speed, racecraft, overtaking and qualifying..In short in terms of driving. But, he is not the best in terms of handling pressure in championship situations. I have seen that in almost every season he contested and fought for ...

speedster_sid

Well done by kimi...Fine second place...!!

speedster_sid

Can Kimi hold Vettel off now...Keeping my fingers crossed..

speedster_sid

I think they did pretty bad job by giving by pitting Kimi to cover Hamilton and Vettel earlier as Kimi was still setting green sectors. they should have done what they did with Romain at the first stops. It led to Kimi coming out behind Romain and then being a bit faster behind him. And then again c...

speedster_sid

Kimi finally released in 3rd...Go for win Kimi...!!

speedster_sid

They didn't need to pit Kimi...He was doing great...But, am still sure he will catch Grosjean...

speedster_sid

Good Qualy for Kimi and I think he did only one run in the final session..! The main thing now is the race strategy. I guess Lewis will start to loose his tyres by lap 6 and Vettel by lap 8. Kimi might be able to stretch them till lap 10. but, the important question is whether Kimi should pit with v...

speedster_sid

It was just heart breaking to see him fighting the cars with those tyres. I was wondering, why the hell are they not stopping him..He did a good race but, team just messed it up in the end.

speedster_sid

Kimi also reported in Q3 that the backend of the car was sliding...Hopefully the DDRS thing will boost the straightline speed while following other cars.

speedster_sid

I actually wanna know how does the DDRS thing help in the race. Would it make the overtaking easy. Anyways I feel that Kimi should shall still come in strong in the race and beat even the Mercs. He has pretty good race pace.

speedster_sid

So, Kimi is running the 'Device' but, they are not running it on Romain's car instead they are running a new tight package for aero gains . Not anything spectacular by Kimi till now though.

speedster_sid

Yes , it might not be as big an upgrade as they seem to be saying. but, silverstone is abrasive circuit with fast flowing corners. that is always good for lotus as it keeps up the temperature and other teams should show degradation. The main thing is Pirelli changing its tyres...to harder compound. ...

speedster_sid

Kimi needs a string of 5 podiums in the next 5 races along with a victory to have some say in the championship.

speedster_sid

I wanna join too...

speedster_sid

Damn, kimi and that car generally goes pretty slow in those conditions..Can be bad.

speedster_sid

Fernando Alonso....

speedster_sid

Yup, it does feel like that Kimi could have been a bit more aggressive at the start and a while behind hamilton maybe. but, guess at present he is doing very well overall. Second in the championship with a reduced margin.

speedster_sid

Anyways congratulations to chester and best for his new job. He must be all pumped to prove himself.

speedster_sid

Kinda Sad. It is good to see smaller teams performing better than the big guns like Mercedes and Ferrari. But, this is how it works.

speedster_sid

What is funny is that Vettel would ve not ended up at the back but, for team's mistake in fuelling or watever. Infact, Fernando would not even have started up where he did and would ve finished second. Might have ended up third with a Vettel victory and that would been much worse for Fernando. So, f...

speedster_sid

Is there any link for this news as I haven't seen it anywhere yet.

speedster_sid

Infact, I think that OGIER would have given Loeb a run for his money and probably beaten him to this year's title. Now Citroen is just struggling with their regular drivers and it serves them pretty well.

Did anyone see these comments from Ricardo Penteado? May 2 (GMM) Romain Grosjean has put his troubled start to the 2013 season firmly behind him, according to a Lotus team engineer. Employed by engine supplier Renault, Brazilian Ricardo Penteado actually works on Kimi Raikkonen's car. But after the...

Piquet never dropped from 2nd to 14th in a couple of laps due his tyres going off the cliff, as Kimi experienced at Shanghai 2012. Schumacher should have scored a great second place in Canada 2011, instead of being demoted to fourth place, as the sitting duck, by DRS. Jenson would not have had his ...

speedster_sid

That's what is kinda mind games. Just trying to put Ferrari a bit down. Though nothing outrageous..Jus a little jibe...Anyways I am not feeling like working so, just writing anything...

Marko knows alonso plays mind games so he is trying to do the same.

speedster_sid

Ya...Kimi is not looking in much of the rhythm as of now...Making some mistakes and slow as well.
