Zitat von claudieI doubt that Domi would just tell him! Maybe he pretends to know something! I mean he didn´t even say whether it´s someone sensational or not! I still think that it will be Flippy who will drive the second Ferrari next year!
Waiting for the trip to Spa, a reflection concerning the Ardennes, and not only.
In Belgium, the performance of pilots who drive the same car is often very different, just because the circuit is very particular (for example, in more than ten years neither Irvine nor Barrichello came ever closer the performances of the Old Uncle Schumi. And it is true that the Epta was a phenomenon, but the argument can be extended to other characters of the steering wheel and other comparisons).
But, in general, beyond the ranking arid numbers, which Pair was the best working in 2012?
My answer, trying to add each element of valuation, from the potential of the car to the circumstances of the race, and so on.
My answer, I said and precise: limited to the teams that we consider the more competitive.
I have no doubt.
Pair Lotus.
Räikkönen and Grosjean, in this very subjective classification, come before the drink-maker duo.
That is Vettel and Webber, who fared even better than the car they drive, if we look at the position of the two in the overall standings.
Then I'd put Schumi-Rosberg, although Mercedes has often made laugh (but it would be interesting to fetch the results in qualifying of the Epta and compare them with the same data of 2011: the leap forward is prodigious, although thwarted then by agonistic disasters not to be attributed to the pilot).
Ferrari duo is expected/hoped-for/supposed, in the sense that it is a line-up '1 +0', let's say so.
But the real disappointment of the season, always thinking in terms of pair, is McLaren.
Button, whom, as you know, I like a lot, is almost extinct, not even was a dinosaur from sixty-five million years ago. And yet for a couple of championships he used to stand comparison with Ham very well.
They say in Lotus that Kimi will certainly stay with them.
There is a contract, wanted by the Blond, which provided, plus bonuses, the automatic confirmation if the driver had reached a certain score in the championship standings.
Very well.
Paradoxically, I'm happy and sad at the same time.
Happy, because I have supported Raikkonen ever since he drove for Sauber. I think he is the protagonist of an extraordinary season. And he is 3rd after Hamilton with a car that a year ago was trudging in the back. Everyone see him as the true revelation of the season, given the fact that he was away for two years. His talent can't be seriously discussed no matter what the result in the end will be (but if they win they are booked for a week of celebrations between Oulu, Turku and Helsinki).
But I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, because ever since 2009 I could imagine how great it would be if the couple would be formed by Alonso and the Holy Drinker.
I am convinced that Fernando and Kimi could co-exist well. I am also convinced that Ferrari should get rid of the Schumi-syndrome. As just one example, in the years 2007/2008 when it was said that Raikkonen and Massa raced at equal terms it was not a surprise that the Red won the driver's title, lost one and won two constructors' titles (2009, for the known reasons 'diffuser Brawn', no text).
Anyway, we'll see.
Ps. I want to reassure everyone. Since this is my blog, I will continue of course to write what I think, in the way that I consider most appropriate, using the vocabulary I like. God forbid!
