    Forget Ferrari, Kimi is where it is at. 2009 WDC - you heard it here first.

    it was a 2002 Maser Coupe Cambiocorsa, it was $40k, and i could have afforded it, but i couldnt afford the insurance and the maintenance. so i ended up getting the G. not as prestigious but much more affordable.

    and kitdy, i am a massa fan more than kimi. massa deserves a WDC.
    Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.

    I disagree, I don't think Massa is as good as Kimi or as I've said before as good as Kubica, Vettel, Hamilton, or Alonso. I would not want to see what I'd rank the 6th best driver in the field win the WDC. I also think Kimi even in 2007 was not on true form like he was in 2003 and 2005 when he was on fire. I didn't see 2003 but I did see 2005 and he was blazing fast in that car for sure. I must admit seeing Massa's crew cheer him when he lost last years was highly comical. I do hear however Massa is a good guy but that doesn't want to make me see him win. I would like to see the best win - except when Michael was there because I had a hate for him ever since I was a wee lad cheering on my countryman in 1997 and Schumacher being a dickhead.

    Speaking of my bold prediction, is there yet a 2009 F1 predictions thread I wonder?

    about Raikkonen's performances with the McLaren, in those times, the Woking's cars weren't very reliable, so I guess he was just beating the **** out of the car knowing it wouldn't have last, so driving in a reckless but still fast way.
    not saying he wasn't/isn't good, I like the guy, but the car was so badly designed he drove without paying attention to the life of the car and its durability, it was going to fail in any case.
    my two cents.

    Whatever the reason was, you cannot deny his McLaren has presented a couple titles to that lucky Michael

    Turning back to MP4/24 - will it use KERS?

    As everyone has said this is the best looking of the bunch so far.
    Kovalainen 2009 WDC!
