    I have no real problems with Kimi, but I will be rooting for Massa as 'my' Scuderia driver!!!

    From what I have read, FA doesn't really do much either.

    Kimi has always been good in an inferior car. All he needs to do is to tell the engineers how to make the car better and drive it. I can't imagine it being much harder than that considering what they pay drivers. Kimi wins WDC, Massa in close 2nd, third is up for grabs with Fisi and FA.

    When the smoke clears in 07 there will be this little Finn standing on top of the pile. Trophy in one hand, a bottle of Vodka in the other.

    I hope that Ferrari doesn't designate one driver as the #1 driver and unfairly position them. I think Massa has an excellent chance to win next year but if they go into it with KIMI as #1 then it may not happen. They have to let it play out for at least a 1/3 of the season and then order them. Bottomline for me is Ferrari wins the constructor's championship. Kimi's ability in the Ferrari is still very up in the air. Obviously Massa can get it done. Unfortunately, Kimi's post-race interviews are barely understandable, not a good interview at all. I guess I'll have to turn off the race at the end before the press conference.

    IMO driving (and most sports) at this level is largely a mental activity.
    You will see some drivers vary from one race venue to another, do amazing laps when their job or ego is threatened, do poorly when they are "comfortable".
    Kimi brings, for whatever reason, full comitment to each race.
    Like MS did.

    Hopefully Ferrari will realize its mistake and can Kimi before the season starts...otherwise, their 2007 WCC chances are doomed...although Massa has a chance at the WDC if the new car is fast...
