[Man U rulz]

Well i have never rated him up there as a driver. maybe he shud do what montoya did, and go and ride in nascar or something like that.
good riddance i say.

 

[killadoob]

Well look what Schumacher did at Ferrari - when he joined they sucked and with his expertise they were the no 1 team. Raikonnen couldnt do that....just not good enuff.
Let him go to rally and stay there.

Schumacher? By himself? No thanks to Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne & the entire technical team who came over to Ferrari from Benetton WITH Schumacher? You give too much credit...

Raikkonen, when he's on song, is one of the best in F1. He's drunk too often, but he's a better driver than 85% of the current grid when sober.

The sport is poorer for losing him - pity McLaren couldn't strike a deal as having him and Hamilton in the same team would've been epic. Guess I'll have to settle for watching Button get smeared all over the track by Hamilton in stead.

You really are informed aren't you..... Do you know that when Kimi started racing in F1 he had only competed in 26 single seat races in any other formula before that, when most other racers come from starting very young racing carts etc and progress through the other formulas until they get to F1. He is widely regarded as the fastest current F1 driver but he goes to sleep and gets bored.

Anyway he makes more money next year from not racing because of his payout by Ferrari than if he had raced for McLaren.

 

[SirFooK'nG]

What a life, a full year salary worth millions of Euro's and not having to actually work for it....

+1 for Enigma243 - Even Schumi said there was no other person in F1 who could have rivalled him as much as Kimi when he retired...

 

[killadoob]

Who regards him as the best current f1 driver?

I do not.

So mika beating shummi and alonso beating shummi? Hmmm sounds like a strange comment to make

 

[SirFooK'nG]

Probably not the best, I think Alonso might be better (allthough he is a prick). Unfortunately I would have to say Hamilton is probably the best at the moment. He is still very young and seriously good (I dont particularly like him either). I do Like Vettel and I think he could be on par or just a little behind Lewis.

I said fastest not best there is a difference.

 

[Obelix]

wohoo

hope he takes some elecution lessons while hes on holiday....

 

[killadoob]

What is difference? I do not get that he is the fast, what at turning? Is his car the fastest?

Not sure the difference.

Hamilton
vettel
alonso
kubica
rosberg

Those for me are the best/fastest drivers in f1

+1 @killa is on my wavelength! Rosberg is a dark horse!!! He needs a good stable ride and man he will fly! Dude, I think you need to have a beer with me!

Would be cool.

Hamilton in McLaren ( sorry button but I think he is going to wipe the floor with you)

Alonso and Massa Ferrari

Kimi and Rosberg Mercedes ??

Would be a good season me thinks if the Red Bulls can also keep their pace from this year would be even better, maybe an eight way fight for the first time in a long time.

 

[Ou grote]

18 race wins in 9 years ain't so brilliant.
Even Barrichello could do that.

I'm sure Ferrari is pissed off they have to pay him the full contract fee for the year.
