The big boss of Ferrari already gave a knock on Kimi's head. He made some statement like "we've yet to see the winning performance from Kimi..." or something like that. I do hope Kimi wakes up from his slumber and puts a stunning performance this weekend.
I personally don't like Massa's exuberance whenever he wins. He just doesn't have the sophistication. Don't think he is a team player. Always sucking up to Schumi.
I don't like Alonso because he behaves like a small kid whenever he loses. Have to be gracious in defeat.
I've started to respect Hamilton for displaying all the characteristics of a Formula1 champion. And he's what - only 22 years old ? He has been groomed over the years by McLaren. No, he's not yet a legend but he sure has the skill and temperament to be one.
Even though Ferrari seems to have made a mistake in their driver line-up, I still support Ferrari :bsmilie:
Come on Ferrari, make it a 1-2 for us.
Couldn't have said it better bro!
I respect Hamilton for executing the checklists flawlessly, this guy can be a perfect ISO90002 candidate. However, I've yet to see the flare and the imaginativeness that are usually associated with legends like Senna, Prost, and Schumacher. He's slowly becoming like a cheap Tiger Woods knock off, no thanks to the media hypes.
All I want to see is all three top teams (Ferrari, McLaren, Renault) working like clockwork to their full efficiency, and drivers showing us what their made of.
So far Hamilton hasn't had a chance to show his mettle as the other teams haven't gotten their act together (i.e., Ferrari with their use of the hybrid car during the past 3 races, Kimi being a Rebel Without A Cause).
Perhaps Magny-Cours will bring an end to the klutz, and give us a real race.
At 22, I think Hamilton has done great deal. I would not knock off Hamilton as the cheap Tiger Woods as Tiger Woods has broken almost every records in the golf history books. Media hype is the upmost important in any sports.
Cannot compare to those legends you mentioned as they have made it to the top of the podiums. This are past results. Difficult to reflect on what the drivers are facing today.
You never know what Hamilton, Kimi, Alonso are capable of as they maybe the Senna, Prost and Schumi of the new cult genre.
Thanks to ESPN Star, we got to see the qualifying an hour late. By that time, I had already got a spate of SMS from other parts of the world telling me what's happening in the session "Oooooh ! Alonso is getting out of the car. Some mechanical problem", had me doubling up with joy.
And finally when I got to see the qualifying in ESPN, the commentary sucked :thumbsd:
I would prefer to have Alex Yoong in the commentary box, than all these people ESPN Star tries to dump on us viewers.
It was quite a boring qualifying session. Good to see Ferrari on top. I just have a feeling Kimi is marginally heavier on fuel compared to Massa and Hamilton. I hope Massa and Hamilton don't take each other out in the first corner. I am sure Massa will be all fired up and won't want a repeat of Sepang where he was outpaced by the McLarens going into the first corner. Kimi must be hoping for gaining a place or two through pitstop strategy.
It will be fun to watch how the raging bull aka crybaby aka Alonso cuts through the pack to be amongst the top 5. Well, that's the best he can hope for unless there are large scale retirements at the top.
Magny-Cours for the last time.
Ferrari 1-2!! At last, kimi wins a race in a Ferrari!
FERRARI ONE TWO!!! KIMI RULES!
Well, I guess that pretty much answers my own question of what happens when Ferrari gets their act back together. Hamilton who?
Bro,
He won the first race in Melbourne liao. forgotten already ?
Saw the interview, Kimi got facial expressions afterall! :bsmilie: It seems like he is willing to talk more today.
Couldn't have said it better bro!
