Ok, before any winter testing and the cars are shown, its time to make a projection on who will get more points for Ferrari in 2014 Alonso or Kimi Have at it. We'll check back later this year and see!
Perhaps though The Scuderia is starving to win the championship. Kimi is the last driver to accomplish for them. Loyalties can change quickly.
Not me. I thought I would put that in because I knew someone would say Alonso or Kimi would have a temper tantrum during the season. Let's face it, they've both done it.

Alonso Kimi will keep Fred on this toes though. And he will steal points from Fred's competitors. As long as there is enough ice cream and Finlandia in the Ferrari team coach, things will be ok.
Only if he feels he has the measure of control and total support. When this belief is shaken he starts falling apart.
-- Applies to most drivers I would suspect. Kimi in his own way was done in by Massa. He may not have cared overtly but the team paid him to leave. I wish him the best but his record at Ferrari was ok but not dominant.
As the old saying goes: "Past Performance Is No Guarantee Of Future Success!" Alonso will score more points than Kimi because he is the more complete driver.
Alonso had the bad fortune of driving the not perfect Ferrari against a perfect RB driven by an equal racer. Without Vettel in the RB Alonso could be a 4 o 5 times WDC by now. It's not like he was laying low in the last few years
For me the important question is: will Kimi perform a lot better than Massa? The last time both were together they were quite equal.
On a comparative basis to Massa- FA can only be painted as dominating. He Kimi, did in no way defeat Massa as FA has done so clearly. Massa actually had more wins than Kimi 8 to 7 and with fewer starts interesting actually. Id never researched that.
In the last few seasons Massa only seemed to drive well when his contract was up for renewal whereas Kimi drives well for pure fun so I'd say he'll perform much, much better than Massa did.
