    Ferrari sporting director, Domenicali, stated in an interview with Autosport, "Kimis's public approach looks distant- we promise that he'll be quick, and he'll smile more!"

    He also stated that at the start of the season, Massa and and Kimi will be considered equal. "Based on our championship needs we might eventually take a different route."

    I would be smiling too if I were getting paid to drive for the Scuderia. He also won't have grenades for engines anymore.

    Read an article in the lastest F1 racing, it gives a bit of insight as to why he had some of his failures at McLaren.

    Sure no problem. According to Peter Windsor, Imola in 2005 when Kimi was leading and had his driveshaft failure, the problem might have been his own fault. He was told by McLaren to do no more than 3 practice starts. Kimi did 5. To quote Peter Windsor "F1 cars should be built to finish - but drivers should respect thier parameters". Kimi's management team was apparently pretty pissed. Kimi nor the team ever said anything about it but the whole thing could have been avoided if he had followed the teams orders.

    I also think that Kimi could be much more sensitive to his car...some of the bizarre occurences in the past must be due to him flogging the car...though I could be wrong.
