Dont forget mind bogglingly rich
Forum whore
But as with all mega rich people - not rich enough...

So no the lid is off and stories are coming out,and the rumour machine is in top gear....
Kimi signed his contract with Ferrari a year ago,and it's well known that no way was he going to settle for No2 driver to Schumacher,he wanted equal standing with Schumacher or he wasn't going to race for them.McLaren must of known as they signed Alonso to cover their bets....Rossi was a diversion....So did Schumacher finally retire because he didn't want a team member who was going to race him on equal terms?
These days the only true comparison is drivers in the same team,then you know it's the same car,if one driver is consistantly faster,then he is the faster driver.Who knows if Kimi was faster than Schumacher if he always had a slower unreliable car? Now we'll never know about the great MS,he never had a team mate anywhere near his own abilities....

One thing that will be interesting to see is if Kimi can break Ferrari's too? I'd like to see Kimi win a WDC, but the question is whether he is too hard on the cars, or were McLaren's really that unreliable? I'm not sure what I think about Alonso going to McLaren. I found his win last year somewhat hollow. I've always followed McLaren as I'm old enough to remember Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme. Funny thing is that I had to point out what that funny red kiwi-shaped thing was on the McLaren logo to a couple of Brit mates not so long ago.

The logo is not a kiwi,I dunno what it is....just some designer doodle,but it's definatly not a kiwi.
If Kimi can break a care it's not his problem - it means the car is too weak.This is F1,not club racing - you can't abuse the motor or trans,they are controlled by computers.About the only thing you can damage is the suspension by hitting too many curbs and flatspotting tyres.No way is Kimi a car breaker - the McLaren is just plain unreliable.If he keeps breaking the ulta reliable Ferrari then we'll know....
Immature and proud of it.
I'll predict that Raikkonen won't last two years at Ferrari. He's too cold, he won't be accepted by the team. He won't understand Ferrari politics, Massa has paid his dues there, he knows the sytem, he'll have Kimi sidelined in no time. And he's fast enough to do it on the track too.
Schumies only fault was that he wasn't Italian.
Massa with the Polish guy at No: 2 is a winning combo.

He's got a 3 year contract - someone will have to buy him out....
Immature and proud of it.
He'll go crawling back to some Teutonic team, like McLaren.

So will Ferrari pay him off or McLaren buy him out? - money,it's all about money in F1.

It is all about money and Shuey has more than anyone.... the sport will be much better with him out... no doubting his career

I don't really give a rat's arse.........but, I think he is the most SUCCESSFUL, not necessarily the "best there has ever been".
The guy was a dirty, cheating prick who raced for a dominant team in an era where car performance far outweighed driver ability.
Yup, we's a winner, but I'll never think of him as a true champion.

He was a superb driver but I never got the feeling he had a truly competitive opponent to prove how good he was.
If only alonso and renault were where they are now 4 years ago, then he would have had four years to really show how good he was or not.
Scooter boy
Amazing driver adjusting his cars setting by knobs on the wheel for the next turn while taking the corner before. Absolutely nuts. Tactics can be questioned but still and outstanding driver. I watched a thing on him and in the past 16? years he's made $1 billion dollars off of racing alone.
Don't like how he took Rubens Barrichello out of the light.
Kimi and Juan Pablo are who I'm cheerin for now.

I dont think they care to much at Monza when the scuderia get on the podium!
Weekend cruiser
Think of his whole career and try to say that without looking like a fool.
