Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

Weeellll, it's the tires. Front bite. IF that works bad, iow hard to get temps up, wrong balance he just sucks. If the big F think he sucks he surely will be dropped, time will tell. If Kimi quits, well it's not the end of the world because there will always be next heroes available. My guess is tha...

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

Well done qualy today.

A good podium position and even a win IF Mercedes messes up.

I usually don't come here often anymore because the discussions are such lowballs that I just don't bother anymore.

Congrats to all Kimster fans! Finger to all bs-writers!

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

Bad luck result comes from the mess-up from qualy. I would blame both Ferrari and Kimi for that result.

Unfortunately the game go Vettel way at the moment.

He finally got a race run but it's interesting that he was on average 0.3s per lap slower than Alonso when he did his race run. It's possible of course that he wasn't trying too hard given it's only testing That is partially correct. He was slower on the first stint but .5 faster on the second stin...
