Re: Kimi Raikkonen vs Sebastian Vettel

I think Seb will have a slight edge over Kimi. Can't really explain why to be honest, but I just do. I guess I kind of feel Seb is hungrier.

Hey, how did you get the combination to my safe.....

I am a left brainer. On these tests I got
L 72 R28

L11 R8

Not surprised at the result although the variance on the first test vs the closeness on the next two is interesting.

Every time I try to speak about who's good looking as a man, my femal pals tell me I'm completely wrong. But, if I had to pick one of the current F1 drivers, I'd say Jensen.

Re: Jenson Button - Is he declining?

I don't think he is in decline, just stuck in a frustrating crummy car. He is still in his prime however it won't last much longer so he must be worried about missing another big chance before it is too late. At least that's what I'd be fretting over if I was JB.
