Abba Neutral Newbie October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 Kimi is currently fastest The Finn set the fastest lap of the sport's first night race; his tenth such achievement in the 15 Grand Prix so far in 2008. It equals Michael Schumacher's standing record of ten fastest laps in the 2004 season, an achievement 28-year-old Raikkonen also equalled as a McLaren driver in 2005. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 he's always the fastest but the problem is that he's always not the first to finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relagsingh 4th Gear October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 He's the real flying finn. He lets his driving do the talking. 2005 was the year he narrowly lost out to schumi too... i only supported ferrari after he went there and his WC title last year is well deserved. but the comments made by their boss still makes my blood boil. damn sad that he crashed out late in the race, he was really pushing hard.

Relagsingh 4th Gear October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 he's usually the 1st to conk out the engine! too slow for him maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunge 1st Gear October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 yeah there has always been no doubt that kimi is one of the fastest drivers in F1, but then F1 is not only all about beening fast like 100m sprints.... schumi was fast, but he was not only fast but he has got good racing brain n the skills to utillise the speed.

En0203 2nd Gear October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 yea, he's king of piang engine too i like the way he pushes the car, but sometimes he'll look like his half a sleep in the race?? then recently too hot until crashed so many times?? hopefully he can do better next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relagsingh 4th Gear October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 Thats provided if he really still stays at ferrari... now so much rumours hanging in the air... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Neutral Newbie October 5, 2008 Author Share October 5, 2008 Kimi is definitely fast, his recent run of black spell didn't help him much. That's why Ferrari still wants him. On the flip side, Lewis had zero fastest lap last year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crv007 Neutral Newbie October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 (edited) He's the real flying finn. He lets his driving do the talking. 2005 was the year he narrowly lost out to schumi too... i only supported ferrari after he went there and his WC title last year is well deserved. but the comments made by their boss still makes my blood boil. damn sad that he crashed out late in the race, he was really pushing hard. 2003 Kimi narrowly miss out to Shumi, 2005 was to Alonso that year was Alonso beat the sxxt out of kimi and Shumi. Championship 2005 standing 1st Alonso, 2nd Kimi and 3rd Shumi. But Kimi did a Fantastic job!!!!!! Remember Suzuka 2005? Kimi started LAST finish the race 1ST!!!!

Law_ong Neutral Newbie October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 he's always the fastest but the problem is that he's always not the first to finish clocking fastest when u alone is different when there are competitors ard u trying to edge u out..

Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 In the F1 race, it's consistency that counts, especially when the going gets tough. Hamiton really shines when the tracks get wet, treacherous and unpredictable. Mental strength is also impt. Massa, Hamilton and Kimi all lost out from the 1st safety car in Singapore, but only Hamilton manages to claw back to 3rd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 Thats provided if he really still stays at ferrari... now so much rumours hanging in the air... isn't his contract just got renewed for two more seasons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 Kimi is definitely fast, his recent run of black spell didn't help him much. That's why Ferrari still wants him. On the flip side, Lewis had zero fastest lap last year yea, lewis may not be fast, but he's very consistent and made less critical mistakes. that's why he's up there and kimi is not and i wonder why kimi is not performing towards the end of the season?? it's not about black spell because it doesn't look like he got any engine problem. something else must be wrong??

En0203 2nd Gear October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 but the thing is that he's always clocking fastest in the race, and to clock the fastest with others competitors around but not in the front shows how fast he can be if he were to be put at the front but i think that's the reason why he ended up at the wall later on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Neutral Newbie October 5, 2008 Author Share October 5, 2008 Lewis agressive style allows him to get more heat into the tyres in the wet thus the McLaren handles better, on the flip side his tyres wears out faster and do not last. Wonder why Lewis almost became chamo last year but no fastest lap. It's a known fact that the Ferrari weakness is the car handling in wet. Holding the drivers equation out.

Abba Neutral Newbie October 5, 2008 Author Share October 5, 2008 There is so much electronic control in the cars that it's component failure and not due to the driver ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
