Jenson is very unlikely to win a WDC until he leaves Honda but Kimi surely has to be a favourite at Ferrari. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In F1 there are three kinds of drivers, Champions, Race Winners and fodder. Champions and Race Winners have about the same driving skills, but the champions are those you think about driving as much as they drive. They are mentally sound. Good Observation about the mentioned drivers! Add Webber, Heidfeld to the list as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stopkidding 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2006 ...and then there is Kimi, the fastest man on earth I am a little worried about Kimi, He focus could be his downfall. On the day he decides to win a championship, he will mercilessly tear down the competition. His integration into the Ferrari team is very critical. I hope the team and Kimi get off to a good start during winter testing and build strong relationships and get happy with each other. If Ferrari continue to produce a top level car and Kimi settles down and gets his head together, I don't think anyone can stop him. If we take Alonso's head, and Kimi's skills, we might be able to reproduce a close replica of Senna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless a non Mclaren/Ferrari bring out an unbeatable car in the next few years, I cant see anyone other than Alonso & Raikkonen winning titles in the next 5 years!

It gonna be heaven on earth for him at Ferrari... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tvbf1 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2006 Out of the five that was mentioned, I think Ralf has a higher chance of winning the WDC then the rest of them. I think next year the WDC battle will be between KR and FA of course and I think Massa will be up there. Well we all know that it's either Ferrari, McLaren and Renault drivers that's probably going to win the WDC. But I'm really interested to see how well the Spyker MF1 is going be with Mike Gascoyne as the TD. He's capable of making a small budget team be competitive like when he was at the Jordans. It'll be cool to see Spyker challanging some of the top runners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When did any Indian claim that Narain was a potential champion? I don't even think he is potential race winner on merit. Find me that Indian and I will personally whop his arse for you. Though I do maintain that Narain is about as worthy of a race seat as the rest of the fodder crowd, Sato, Yakamoto, Monteiro, Speed, Albers, etc... F1 can't have 22 race winners lining up at each GP. Fodder crowd make the champions and race winners look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you maintain incorrectly then - with the only exception being Yamamoto, who is losing his seat at the end of the season, nobody is less qualified for a race seat than Karthikeyan.
