will kimi finally wake up and blow massa away?

will jenson finally get on the scoresheet? (fingers crossed)

2 out of 3 aint bad

to be honest though im dont care about lewis not winning, the main man JB got in the points so im a happy bunny

I really don't like it when Kimi wins, its so dull, when anyone else takes victory they're over the moon, kissing cameras, jumping up and down etc, when Kimi wins it looks like someone's given him a lemon to suck on the podium. I know this shouldn't matter but it puts such a depressing point on even the most interesting race.

that's it tom, lewis give him a "congratulations touch" in his shoulder and kimi didn't even looked him

Im happy for JB too, he salvaged a point for Honda and myexcess.com racing team. But the show stealer was Kimi, fluid driving thruout, cucumber cool all the way, and very fast in the middle stint too, and thats how he got past massa, whatever he might say about a longer pitstop. Good to see the ol' Kimi back

, lets hope he kicks ass from now on, and i think he ll win at Silverstone too, coz there wont be much changes in the cars, only a week for preparation.

Cucumber cool all the way? OMG. (sorry, sorry, ds.raikonnen, I could not resist

)

I'm glad Kimi takes one win. It puts him on the race for the WDC.

For example, after analyzing the points standings, we can clearly see that if a meteorite falls at Silverstone and obliterates Hamilton's car with Lewis inside, then Kimi has a good chance... Same goes for Alonso, only in his case the meteorite should hit Hamilton's AND Massa's cars, to be on the safe side...

Over all, this win makes Massa's task less easier. We were afraid Felipe was going to lose the edge he got last year, competing against "the other cool guy". I'm almost sure Felipe will beat Raikonnen and Alonso for second place...

The big question at this time of the year, as in previous years, is: who will get the fifth position? Heidfeld? Or perhaps the meteorite could hit him too, so Kubica would get a chance?

Let's keep our fingers crossed, our meteorite detectors ready and our cucumbers out of the way.

I should have been following the weather forecast... Cucambers for France, meteorites for UK

Yeah, it's something that's always bothered me, he never really looks interested, does he? It's even worse in the press conference - even after 6 years I still can't make out what he's saying.

I can't remember who said it, but whoever it was, they summed up Kimi Raikkonen perfectly, they said, they can imagine Kimi one day saying "Okay, I'm done with F1, bye" for no reason. I personally think the only reason he's in F1, is that it gives him that adrenaline rush, (and also the fact that he's a rather good at it.) But he doesn't drive the team forward. After M. Schumacher, Ferrari are looking for this 'completeness', so Kimi's outright speed has to offset this and judging from the majority of the races this season, this hasn't happened.

But it's early days yet, Ferrari will never make a decision as whether to keep a driver at such a time, so lets see how he goes.
