Can't wait to see if Massa will be able to fight with Schumacher. With Michael's future undecided, the team may not be willing to be as biased towards him as they were when Barichello was there.

The present day Ferrari team is built around Michael Schumacher, he´s gathered people around him that he wants there and that supports him. To think that those people should suddenly turn their back on him in favor of Massa isn´t very likely.

Wow, I think we've had this season before. It's not like I would have watched the broadcasts anyway.

Well, if Kimi fails there´s at least one other finn to root for

Rosberg isn't really a Finn. He doesn't speak the language or knwo anything about us. I will personally pump him in the butt in any sport, including F1. I just don't have a car to do that. I mean.. how can you beat me driving your racer.. when your arms are broken?

I'm not really a fan of F1, I watch it sometimes though.. it's not about the drivers, it's about the cars, and FERRARI IS #1!!!!!!!!11

[Zoid]

Well, he is of Finnish heritage at least. A son of a finnish F1 champion. That must count for something?

What puzzles me is that Montoya drives exactly the same car as Kimi and hasn´t had nearly as much "bad luck". And Montoya isn´t a particulary cautious driver...

Actually, I would call Montoya a reckless driver - not a good driver that might challenge the limits of the car.

Kimi for certain are pressing the car to limits, but not irresponsively. I think that he prefers second places to malfunction, and the current incident can hardly be blamed on his driving. Rear wheel setups are not supposed to be a worry of the driver unless maclaren is experimenting

Zoid, counts for nothing.

[Zoid]

This is probably a engineer mistake and not a driver mistake, but somehow I don´t think this will be Kimis only "bad luck event" this season.

I´m almost willing to bet money on that as well

But as you said you don´t really care about F1 so...

[Pekka]

that's true.. and I still choose cars over drivers in it so. It's not that big of a deal. And he isn't driving Ferrari

[Zoid]

But he will probably do so next year if the rumours are true

[Pekka]

You know the rumours in F1 are the worst in the world they're just NEVER true. In fact, if there's a rumour, the exact opposite is going to happen.

[Zoid]

Probably, but another miserable season with McLaren will be a very good incentive to move somewhere else...

Well, Ferrari seems to be intersted in Kimi - him and Schumi on the same team could be - well - interesting

[Zoid]

I don´t think Schumi will be racing next season. He has already won everything there is and beaten every record. One more pole position and he´s beaten Sennas 65 pole record also.

Only if he is superior in this season - I think that you have to drag him out of F1 as long as he is competitive wich he for certain are - stupids such as a certain danish sports commentator claimed him "dead" a couple of years ago, but strangely he ignored it.

Oups - don't consider you at the same stupidity level - after all, you are just a swede
