i think this pic just sums it up,what Ferrari team is about.Its a pitty really that Kimi dosent believe in it and instead left the circuit after his race come to an early end.

Kimi overrides the clutch, revvs the engine above its limits and blows it

The race was plain boring today, not as exciting as the qualifying.

Just read this.IF Hamma wins in Monaco the there will surely be some sparks flying from BigMouth.

But he did not expect such a stiff challenge on the track and in the garage from his rookie team-mate, and little details like the McLaren mechanics cheering Lewis’ lap in qualifying – which made Alonso’s wife leave the garage - have added to the pressure he feels.He’s not there to be given presents, he has to earn them, but he certainly seems to have lined everything up for himself this weekend.
He made sure that Lewis was not at the test last week, he did a few little things to try to give himself the psychological edge but none of it worked. Lewis was stronger.
Remember too how Alonso had a go at Renault the last two years for not doing enough to support him.
Well he must feel like he’s up against the Establishment with Lewis so much a part of the fabric of McLaren.

KIMI AT HIS BEST...BLOWING UP ENGINES...thats what he sat at Mclaren and did the whole of last year...THis year he's doing it in a ferrari...

Kimi's blow up explains quite a bit of the discussion we were having in this thread Kimi and engine failures .

Superb drive from Massa and Hamilton. Hamilton is my pick of this season after Massa of course (being biased).

whatcanthisbe · 14th May 2007, 12:18

great race great qualifying but seriously kimmi needs to grow some *****

GTO · 14th May 2007, 12:27

I dont think too much of Massa, but that start was fabulous! He didnt let Alonso by and was determined to do or die. New found respect, man.

I think Lewis Hamilton ROCKS.. What is important in F1 is consistentancy and this guy has it..Never imagined that his driving style can be so mature..[for a rookie]

Personally i think he is better than Massa too..

Ofcourse after MS..my fav is KR..unfortunately his ferrari did not support him this time..

Cheers

Guys before u point fingers at Kimi it was not him who broke the engine down rather it was the other way round and simlar was the case when he was with McLaren.
He is not the most lucky guy on the F1 circuit right now.
It is very important to have luck on your side along with a superb car and talent which he definitely has and which others like Hamilton etc are enjoying.
Lets wait and watch since there is still a long way to go and who knows may be lady luck will smile on him and justify his talent.

Cheers!

I wish your thoughts come true my friend..Kimi is one of the deserving guys and has been unlucky with Mclaren..the cars not supporting his talent. I really thought he finally has landed in a team which will give him the WC title.. Sad that he's been let down by the Ferrari..

Ofcourse..you also dont see Ferrari's breaking down often..so lets wait and see..

The fifth race of the season comming up this weekend with McLaren looking on top at the moment, with Hamilton leading the standings with Alonso n Massa trailing a few points behind with Kimi left behind after his car's mech failure.

As usual, i'll cheer for Ferrari n Massa, who i hope would finish on top in qualifyin and the race!!!!!!!

mclaren1885 · 23rd May 2007, 00:05

Hamilton could emerge victorious. And continue to lead the championship.

karthik247 · 23rd May 2007, 00:07

Hamilton is seriously giving Alonso a run for his title... It would be awesome if he takes it away from his team mate in his very first season!!

gr8guzzler · 23rd May 2007, 01:58

Did you guys read the comments made by Kimi and Albers about how the Bridgestone tyres have affected their performance. Mee thinks they are looking for excuses now.

As usual, Hope a Mclaren ends up on the top step of the podium.

Cheers!!!
