Re: Lotus waiting to pay staff, Raikkonen (Rumour)

Massa fore sure, especially if it is Hamilton trying to overtake. Conversely, the easiest guy to overtake if you are faster is Alonso. I think Alonso is by far the fairest guy when being overtaken.

Right now Kimi seems more consistent. So I'll go with Kimi. But in a head-to-head comparison they are fairly evenly matched. Neither is a particularly good qualifier, both very good racers and both pretty good overtakers. Kimi seems to be a bit better at starts and restarts though. Kimi is great ra...

Re: Which Driver you fear the most on the approach to overt
hamilton. He rather lose time on defending for position than giving up and settle for better grid position finish.
And after the race he will overhype his slow defending driving as "i did my best".

Kimi has often gone backwards this year in qualy, especially in Q3 and you are assuming the car did not have the pace in qualy. The Lotus should have had many wins this year but Kimi couldnt hook up the car together at crucial points of time in qualy and race. In a way, I think that Jenson and Kimi...
