Wrong prediction. Your crow, served hot.

You're barking up a cloud. If Massa didn't gift Kimi a few races he would have scored more points than Kimi.
Kimi taking the dc as he did means 0 in the comparisons with Massa, quite the contrary.

 

If that were true, then you're implying that Ferrari got their team orders backwards. A big leap of faith.

 

Not necessarily.

No team orders:
The points that went to one person would be distributed to two people.
That's how (not nec. why) McL lost the dc. Massa's glass would be fuller, Kimi's emptier.

If the team orders were switched:
Kimi had nothing to give away, but Massa would put the points he gave
to Kimi into his own pocket. No WDC but Massa could be ahead in points.

 

There were times throughout this season I was ready to harvest one of these guys for myself and my faithful brethren of the new WDC. I now offer him to, well you know who you are.

Forza Ferrari! Kimi's the King.

I think I would skip out on that bill for sure.

"If nothing breaks or crashes." Now that's a worry.

Also I plan on having my own track someday, so the classification of the car would be meaningless to me.

 

It was my impression that the only races Massa gave way to Kimi were Japan and Brazil. The points differences there were not enough to give Massa more points than Kimi in the end. Were there other races where he was forced to let Kimi through?

 

I'd worry about getting your first Ferrari before you think about your own track. I've got a few friends with their own track, and I can assure you that the cost is easiy several Ferraris.

Not when there are 3 paving companies in the family and this wouldn't be a Community based track, it would be my track, do driver events, no renting it out, no pit lane, just pavement.

I still don't have a Ferrari because there are soo few to choose from here. The two that made my list are over priced and one needs $8,000 worth of work on top of it being about $13,000 over what I would expect it to be. Besides with the short driving season here, it might make more sense to get a track car than a Ferrari. When I move back to the states, I'll start looking for probably a 360.

 

I didn't do any calculations so let's see

+3 ... in Japan - but he may have gotten passed kovalainen for 2nd.
+2 ... in Brazil
China - personally, I'm not buying that mistake in quali which mimicked the Brazil one.
So, I'll do at least +2, but you don't have to.

that's 7 points but could also be 9-11.
So he could have 101-105

As F very correctly realized, not enough for the DC,
but he and Kimi would have been battling each other,
rather than the McL guys.

 

Massa gifted Kimi 3 points (1 in Japan, 2 in Brazil) (Massa lost 3 points in Japan but Kimi only got 1). So Massa 99, Kimi 107
Had Massa and Kimi been racing each other in Brazil, there is no way to know who would have won.
The orders went both ways in Brazil, Massa would be in a position to win if Kimi would not benefit.

 

Haven't you had enough backhands yet?

I told you before that you stalk me all over the forum - you just did it again. I also said on the other thread that you couldn't help yourself responding - I saw you had posted again. Once again, I was right about you. Neil the weirdo with anger management issues searching folks' background to try to make his point. Creepy.

I said before Kimi did very well - it was a long shot for Ferrari and they got really lucky, as McLaren got equally unlucky.

Time to start doing searches on my posts to find other threads to argue in. I am flattered you devote this much attention to me - makes it all worthwhile

EDIT: I just realized that post was from weeks ago... damn... much bottled up anger kid? I don't remember anything you've ever posted... except one post in the Hogan crash thread where I said you made an excellent post and you said "I was due" - and I agree with your sentiment you expressed when you said that. The rest are utterly forgettable.

 

Ron,

I believe Andreas and myself and a few others were Kimi holdouts from the beginning of the season?

How are you feeling these days big guy?

 

LOL - right.

"I have been trying to buy a Ferrari for a while, I just can't seem to find one!".

Good luck making your own track. At some point reality will set in and we'll all have a good chuckle about it.

 

Sure. Np with the team strategy so long as one guy is out of contention.

 

That's crazy! What kind of speed did they let you take it up to? What was the acceleration like?

 

Agreed. That would have been an expensive fender bender

 

Yep, he could've pulled an LH.


>People seem to think Massa could have won in Brazil, but we'll never know will we? Oh, nevermind.

Yep, and I hope the never part continues and we'll never really know who is better,
because both are all over each other.


>Kimi set fastest lap about 10 laps from the checkered flag didn't he?

Yep, Massa was going to set fastest lap whilst trying to look slower than Kimi,
with some extra fuel.


>Felipe beat Kimi to pole in Brazil

And blocked LH superbly which set the deck of cards
better than Cinecita.
