Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread
Hmmm, isn't that pretty much how you steer a rally car, only it has way less grip? I don't believe it when he said that rallying didn't help with F1. At the very least it has helped with keeping his reflexes and other racing related skills sharp. As Niki Lauda (I think it was him) said, you don't l...

Re: Alono Vs Raikkonnen 2005
Was Alonso that much faster a driver than Kimi in 2005? Each won 7 races, FA got 5 second places, KR three; FA three thirds, KR two. FA six poles, KR five; KR 11 fastest laps, FA two. Or was it really mostly down to the McLaren car advantage? I wouldn’t say “better,” but Alonso’s style worked bette...

But you assume that every car has the same optimal set up and somehow analyzing all the data and crunching it can help you arrive at that ideal set up.
