Kimi to leave Ferrari - reports - Page 2

I just think that the first year is his struggle year. I mean c'mon can you really blame everything on him? McLaren is doing a hell of a job. Ferrari is slow during quali, and we all know that the patter right now and has been for some time: whoever qualifies first wins.

Yupp. Qualifications are now more important than ever, especially if you want to win a race.

Unfortunately it is. The new tires makes and their natural consequences make overtaking even more hard.

Don't forget that he's beaten fair and square by Massa.

I think shonguiz is right. Mclaren's pace, Ferrari's speed in qualification and all other factors notwithstanding, Raikkonen is being beaten by Massa, driving the same car. Has Raikkonen beaten Massa once this year on legitimate pace?

Like I said, kimi is struggling to get used to the Ferrari way. Mass has been there for over a year. It's about getting used to the car and the atmosphere. Same thing with Alonso over at McLaren. Does that mean Alonso isn't as good as hamilton?

Alonso is doing much better than him.

In what way?

He might be doing better than Kimi overall, but just like Kimi he is struggling with the car and is being outclassed by his team-mate.

He adopted the McLaren philosophy much quickly & better and he's doing a better job in beating his team-mate.
