.....and i hope rumors of the italian press that the new ferrari 2015 project is even slower than this years car after wind tunnel tests, is pure bs!!!
“He (Alonso) is also very intelligent and is able to get the team on his side. That’s what makes the other driver suffer. Then when you see the other driver getting more attention from the team, the situation becomes very difficult to turn around,” Massa added.
Look at this.
I personally think Kimi has been in F1 long enough to understand the scenario and see past whatever scenario he is in. In years past, I probably would have been on forums defending Kimi tooth and nail. But it's not worth it this year. The car was designed for Alonso's driving style and there's nothing that can be fixed to aid Kimi's style. At least not this year. That will change next year. Was Alonso the better driver this year? Yes.
But look at Ferrari now. They don't mention much about alonso's departure. I get the feeling they will be happy to slam the door shut when Alonso leaves Maranello for the last time. He very well could be the best pilot on the grid. But his "game" away from the circuit is certainly not the best. And this is why he will leave F1 with less WDC's than Vettel.
We all know what this year's problem is and it's not that. Nobody is mentally stronger than Kimi, Massa is just taking advantage of the situation to justify himself.
On the other hand, the part about Alonso having the team (and the car) on his side, that I do agree on. Until Mattiaci came and saw the big picture and told him to f... off!
Yep, because Mattiacci is a business man and saw right away Aloneso is playing the game only for himself, not for Ferrari. He saw Alonso in the long run would make himself bigger than Ferrari and for Ferrari its unacceptable. As good driver he is, he carries a machiavellian shadow with him and I believe teams do think twice now that there are promising drivers making a coming. Kimi is probably like most finns...he just doesnt care about the other guy and does his work as good as he can.
PS: and now I know why this forum seems like a desert island lately, you're all chatting on Twitter! Please have mercy with those of us who don't use social media Or is it just me

Not everyone uses twitter.. But it is a nice app. You can see and hear a lot throughout the day
I know, but I don't know how to explain... I like to be informed but not overwhelmed with loads of information about every single thing, every single person or celebrity is doing. Because even though one tries not to, one usually ends up reading everything about everyone and losing a lot of time. Do you get me?
Yes, I wonder what will happen to this forum when Kimi retires. Maybe it will have to be closed and I'll have to finally open a Twitter account so I can keep in touch

The thing is you can control what you want to see and read, only follow the people you want to follow and there are other ways you can control information (block/mute...). pretty powerful tool if you want to be informed (of the people and things that you care) I think.
W We don´t forget you here. But its not so easy, not many post here. I think it´s a tough season for Kimi fans. Would be nice to have more activity here. But you can´t bring people to post here if they don´t want.
And about Twitter: It´s really fun and informative! But also they spread a lot of (wrong) rumors there. Here we have it more cosy and personal So for me Twitter will never replace this wonderful place here
