Why people who love racing don't love Kimi? possible answers:
1. they don't love racing, they like professional wrestling and NASCAR;
2. they are fans of Alonzo the cute
3. they fear that Kimi is another Michael Schumacher (and their fears are rational ones!)
4. they hate all Finns, including Mikka
5. they hate Ron Dennis
6. they are fans of Juan Pablo
7. they think that what they think affects the outcome of races or the performance of the drivers (and Kimi, like Michael, is a classic example of the focused performer)
8. did you see Kimi pass Michael at Monza? Did Michael shake his fist at him? Did either driver do anything other than attend to business? So they think drivers that drive are not "exciting" Ah. now I see another reason:
9. they like drivers with excuses better than drivers with results (I was going to list some names, but why bother? you all know them)
10. They prefer "colorful" drivers --and they don't like it that Kimi leaves as soon as his car fails. They want him to hang around and, like themselves, assign blame rather than use the valuable time between the end of one race and the beginning of the next to think about winning more than whining.
In the end, who cares? Kimi will win more races and more championships than the Spaniard or the Columbian.

Hi Jim,

basically I have to agree(again).

However I think there is more of a simple emotional feeling that makes it harder to like Kimi. I think its a bit different than with Michael where I would see the most common factor of people not liking him because they dont feel big(enough) themselves and psychologically this type of person always identifies himself with a subject that rather fits the second-best-category. Others are people of limited intellect who get fanatized easily and jump the Ferrari-Michael-cheating-boat.
With Kimi I think the Iceman carries his name rightly. And who gets warm feelings for Icemen? I hope Kimi becomes more of a personality as he matures...

100% agree re.his driving ability and focus, Michael will have a good time with a worthy competitor next year, maybe with 2, Fernando being quite close.

Jim, you are getting carried away here

I don't think I have seen a single hate comment on Raikkonen so what are you on about

I don't love him (The Cute is far more appealing) but I don't hate him. I think from this season onwards Alonso - Raikkonen rivarly will be the modern Senna - Prost rivarly but we don't have to hate one to love the other

Kimi passing Michael ? Did you watch the race ?

Kimi winning more championships than The Cute, of course you can dream!!
But he who comes second will always come second

Kimi is my fav driver.
He is the fastest man on the grid and the most focust man on the grid.
Its a shame that Mclaren has gifted HIS title to Alonso.

Never mind there's always next year

Welcome iceman_uk

Good to see more Kimi fans here!

He is fast yes but he has the fastest car

If the McLaren was reliable it wouldn't be as fast then Raikkonen wouldn't be fastest then

All the best for Raikkonen (next year or maybe in 2007 with Ferrari

)

Hi

first of all its been long since i have posted, so HI! and welcome to iceman_uk. Finally someone who admires the speed of Kimi.

You know what next year, if McLaren prduce a simmiliar package to this yeras but focus on the engine reliability a bit more then perhaps kimi could win the WDC 2006, Well he is not going to win WDC 2005 is he, coz the cute needs only 4 more points, unless he crashs out. (very unlikely)

Mark will win, in the Renault next year

Welcome Ice-man, nice site.

hi!

thanks on my site. It still is having some major features being put up, so keep checking evry month.

If renault are going to dominate 2006 then they need to produce a good acr, not a fluke like this year (it suddenly became fast, without no team effort)

nothing against you, just my views
