    "Former Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine is unimpressed with Raikkonen's performance at the Ferrari Formula 1 team. The Ulsterman believes Felipe Massa has done a great job so far this season, but said Raikkonen should get his act together or stop drinking.
    Speaking to Setanta Sports Irvine said: "I think Felipe's done a great job. He looked stupid in Malaysia (when he was passed by Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton at the beginning of the race after starting on pole), but you have to say that he was all over Hamilton. He looked like he could have got him. Raikkonen then pulled up behind him when Massa went off and he couldn't even get close."
    Irvine furthermore said: "Felipe's been bloody quick. In Malaysia he probably should have taken it a bit easier and got more points but since then he's done a fantastic job. Raikkonen just hasn't been on the pace the whole season really. Massa has been on top of him in winter testing and the first four races. "

    "I don't know what that's all about - he's going to have to get his act together or stop drinking because if he's not winning he can't be drinking."

    What he meant to say was: "Stop drinking without calling me and inviting me to the bar."

    Isn't there a saying about the pot calling the kettle black?

    You have to admit, he doesn't mince words at all. He's not telling Kimi to stop drinking per se, he's just saying he currently has no reason to go out celebrating.

    I would say we need to give him a chance to get acclimated with the Ferrari, but then I keep thinking about Alonso and Hamilton...

    Anyone else find this advise a little bit hypocritical?

    Without a doubt, but we'll consider that maybe Irv "the Swerve" wants to live vicariously through Kimi as an alcoholic driver not living up to his potential.

    Where is Andreas? Didn't he get loaded with Irvine's DAD?
