Re: The most successful Finn?

Let's also not forget that Kimi took 130 more races to get one extra win. It's not as if Kimi spent the first ten years of his career driving for Minardi either. Mika won 12% of his F1 races, Kimi has won 7%. Lotus wasn't winning car after Pirelli changed tire compound. Kimi was around during RBR a...

Re: The most successful Finn?

Mika competed in 165 races. Kimi will end his career with more than double of that, and is unlikely to add to his win tally. I like Kimi, but he's not in the same league as Mika was. Kimi has never had as dominant car as Mika had 1998. Him and Coulthard lapped every car in Melbourne... And 1999 cha...
