Top o' the mornin' guys. I did my usual race review. Actually, it is more my personal slam on the current regulations and the things that they kill. But a rundown of the major incidents of Monaco as well. Unfiltered if you like. For those who might be interested: http://f1bias.com/2015/05/25/monaco-...

Wonderful... I thought fickle cars were supposed to be fast? Ferrari does away with that myth.

Hi guys. I will just go ahead and post this here since it contains some of my thoughts on what seems to be Vettels arrival as Kimis teammate. Although most of it is dedicated to the sadder events that took place on Sunday. Hope that is okay. A Dark Day in October: http://f1bias.com/2014/10/07/a-dark...

Thanks for that translation, Appletree. A novice race engineer has apparently also been part of Kimis struggles. But it is good to hear that Spagnolo is getting up to speed. Here is my lighthearted analysis and breakdown of the Belgian GP. With the usual Kimi focus :) Spa 2014 - The Iceman Shines: h...

Hey guys. I made a post yesterday on my blog that delves a little bit into Kimis problems this year. I see this is the current topic as well. So feel free to have a look. I cannot promise you will agree with all of it though. Has Kimi Forgotten How To Drive: http://f1bias.com/2014/06/25/has-kimi-for...

Hey guys. Don't know if you knew about the Santander-Kimi event in Norway yesterday. I didn't until a day before. It was not widely advertised at all. But I made it there. There were very few spectators. Mostly press. And Kimi was in a real good mood and seemed to enjoy himself. If you wanna look a...

The Spanish GP was a travesty when it comes to Ferrari. Not only because of the poor result. But because it was so obviously politically maneuvered from the sidelines. Emilio Botin makes his presence known. And Kimi is made to suffer once more. Ferrari decides to screw their last champion. Again: h...

Even Brundle says it was evident the strategy was designed to get Alonso ahead: http://www1.skysports.com/f1/report/220 ... onso-happy

I have made my brutal assessment of the whereabouts of Ferrari compared to the others.

Here is my take on the radio debacle between Permane and Kimi.

Soren

I have told the whole story. He got a good start helped by poor starting RBRs and took the lead. I'm focusing on how he lost that lead. And once again I point out that it was Webber he was fighting against. Webbers pace is far from superior. Very far. It has typically been worse than the Mercs, the...

Thanks priestlysabbath and Darkwing. And isn't it funny that Grosjean got 10 in the drivers rating by Edd Straw for his Japan race? He lost two positions during the race and finished 3rd.

Thanks for that, Soren. I didn't know about the confusion with the radio message for Kimi, pretty funny! I do completely disagree with your assessment of Grosjean but I'm aware this is the Kimi thread and you admit your reviews are Kimi-centric so I will just respectfully agree to disagree with you...

Hey guys. I'm linking to my review as usual :) There is a fair amount of Webber bashing and Grosjean-critique this time around. Grosjean critique? But he drove an awesome race, you say? I respectfully disagree. But more on that here. How To Lose A Race. By R. Grosjean: http://f1bias.com/2013/10/14/j...

Thanks. Yes, it is very strange that Dindi is gone. Still can't quite believe it. She was such a fun person and a dedicated Kimi fan. Great radio DJ too from what I hear. Anyway, the races have been picking up lately. Say what you will about the tires but they do mix things up now and then. Looking ...

What a race Korea was. So much craziness going on. Wing and tire failures. Crazy-ass fire and a rogue fire truck. :D Not to mention plenty of action due to safety cars. More of that please.

According to the commentators on NBC Vettel's physical therapist got Kimi comfortable enough to race. I heard that he got a cortisone injection from Aki Hintsa, the McLaren team doctor. Arnall talked to Hintsa before the race. Btw - anyone else having problems posting here? Is the thread getting to...

Disappointing (and baffling) strategy call but Kimi was absolutely superb in the race, yet again. That's all we can ask for. :) He really is annihilating Grosjean this season. I love the way people like Andrew Davies were wondering (blatantly hoping) if Grosjean could have the edge on Kimi once he ...

I just feel that Lotus has missed a lot of opportunities. They got success by hiring Kimi and they may have gotten cocky. They spent money way over their head last year. So I just cant see Kimi staying with them for next year. Especially with Allison gone. Something I touch on in my review of the Ca...

It's a disgrace that Perez didn't get a penalty. His two moves on Kimi were dangerous. In the first one he forced Kimi and himself go off they track and in the second he ruined Kimi and his own race.

Good race by Kimi but again a poor opening lap. He just sat there behind Hamilton and left the door wide open for Alonso. Kimi seems to be a great believer of the quote "you can't win the race in the first corner, you can only lose it." He plays safe at the first corner all the time and in the long...
