amalin i’ll consider your vote as ferrari’s (kimi = ferrari = kimi)

F1 is just around e corner, more votes guys?

[kev123]

yeah its true kimi pushes to hard…although ferrari are fast I think mclaren
will still be competitive..they when has a documentary on the bbc explaining their seasons expectations and showing that they want to make a come back.

[mikko]

nah kimi breaking cars is bollocks… he had engines exploding that hadn’t even done 1 fast lap. F1 cars are supposed to be built to last a race distance driven at 100%. Rear wings flying off and steering wheels coming off aren’t the result of a driver pushing too hard. The Mclaren was breaking when Mika was driving it, it was breaking when Coulthard was driving it… Kimi didn’t make the car suddenly fall apart.

[bosozoku]

Point taken guys…
in a summary, for what you’ve mentioned here…to be e fastest team:
1. build a reliable engine …. So it wont explode or fail
2. get e best driver available…. so that he’ll bring the car in one piece at e end of the race and of course podium finish

3. How about e rest of e crew?…. without them all the above means nothing

I believe the rest of the crew is also vital to e team performance and to complete the package to be the Best Team.
For me Formula 1= to have e best in every aspects

agree that McLaren had not been building reliable cars in recent years.

kimi has had more than his fair share of car failures compared to his teammates at McLaren (see below stats). It’s a close call, but in some years Kimi is extremely unreliable.

Retirements
2002:
Kimi = 10 (24pts/6th)
DC = 4 (41/5)

2003:
Kimi = 3 (91/2)
DC = 5 (51/7)

2004:
Kimi = 8 (45/7)
DC = 4 (24/10)

2005:
Kimi = 2 (112/2)
JPM = 4 (60/4)

2006:
Kimi = 6 (65/5)
JPM = 5 (26/8)* left F1 after 10 races
PDLR = 2 (19/11) * replaced JPM from race 11

Total Kimi retirements at McLaren = 29
Teammate retirements = 24

well, from what the commentator said about Kimi, is that he is an old fashion driver. His job is to basically drive the fastest of what machine he is given and be faster than everyone on the track. which i reckon, this is a true racer. just like the mykarters, pushing themselves to the maximum limit of a dodgy kart..

Thats why I like Senna: He try his best all the time :up: , he even can push a kart till blown off (I dunno it is good or bad, but is definitely spectacular) 😉 …

and

Thats why i like schumi: He smart enough to know what the car shall be and make himself in better situation (not only on track) to become 7 times champ…

COrrect me, I might be wrong 😛

Anyway champ is still champ cant compare CHEERZ~~
