Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

Kimi will feel the squeeze now at Maranello. He's lost one of his big allies in Stefano, he was key to bringing Kimi in. Alonso, if true, helped push SD out and could have LdM firmly back on side. That said if a 'Prost 91' is truly brewing then Alonso could be the one who throws one final hissy fit...

Would they be allowed to completely start the engines from scratch too? Because if it as big a hill to climb as some are suggesting and they could do th...

Kimi needs to start beating him though. If Ferrari lose confidence in him it'll be 2009 all over again. If Ferrari lose confidence in him, they have only themselves to blame.

Re: Rookie Ricciardo should be ahead of Vettel

I think its when Red Bull told Ricciardo to drop 2 seconds behind Vettel but i think that is just standard practice by Red Bull if they feel they can't get by the car in front in order to save fuel and tyres whoever the car in front may be. So if it's Vettel you think they tell him to fall back beh...

I'm pretty sure Kimi wasn't too thrilled that Alonso took him to the outside twice on the start. Obvioulsy, Fred made sure he plenty wide against his teammate. Seriously?, so you expect Alonso to open the door and drive outside the racing line to let Kimi past?. It's called racing, protecting the p...
