Title: Kimi Raikkonen joins a new team
Post by: Rods2 on 11 September 2013, 13:06:41

Yes, he is back at Ferrari, replacing Massa. This must give them the strongest driver line up of all of the F1 teams.

Double champs in there, should keep Alonso honest. Ferrari have been hurt in constructors points cause of Massa's underperformance.

But drivers alone is not enough, can anyone beat Adrian Newey?

maybe the strongest driver line up but it will be interesting to see which one is regularly the fastest.

I also wonder if Alonso will leave the team after a season together and join Red Bull!

I never really rated Raikkonen when he was at Ferrari but I do now. Like Alonso and Hamilton he is a true racer.

Will Massa get a drive elsewhere ? Competent enough number two but needs pushing!!

I got a feeling that Alonso will throw his teddy out if Kimi starts beating him on a regular basis,I rate Alonso as a driver but I think he's met his match now in the same car :)

I've lost interest in F1. Every race promises so much but just turns out to be tame and boring. That's no reflection on Vettel, everything is so sanitised now.
Perhaps if a couple of drivers were killed or seriously injured I might start watching again. ;D

I must admit Im surprised by this.He got pissed off with the culture at Ferrari last time he was there,and I didn't think he would go back.I predict fireworks at some point between him and Alonso.They are as different as chalk and cheese.
I wonder if Alonso knew it was coming and that's why he has been spitting his dummy at the team in recent weeks ?
I rate Kimi very highly as a driver and as a person (from tv and press etc.) I think his attitude is bang on. He has no time for bullshitters of any kind. :)

Oh God. Have I got to agree with Albs? :( ;D

Alonso and Kimi in "equal" machinery. I think that will be very interesting indeed. :y
