[AQWGOLDHELPER]

Kimi suckks a little due to his attitude on people

[Jedontrack]

i miss kimi, heres hoping he gets his ass back in F1 some time soon

[legendkillerpunt]

@Jedontrack if he comes back, he will struggle in his first year just like M.Schumi did in 2010

[Jedontrack]

@legendkillerpunt yeah probably :/

[DasHauss]

I thought that the GP in Japan is held in Suzuka, not Fuji...correct me if I'm wrong...thx

[Lumin0u]

@DasHauss Japan GP in 2007 and 2008 was held in Fuji

[tommqi]

Kimi would've won this race, but Hamilton fucked evertything up in T1.

[Deelaer]

Very nice driving!

[TheBazooka120]

hienot äänet ferrarista lähtee

[mithrandir8489]

This Video only shows that it's not easy to pass...and...it's not easy to pass Kubica.

[LocLoc20]

it not Raikkonen its Räikkönen & check my new bball fail vid

[HappymanFIN]

@LocLoc20 kaikissa maissa ei käytetä Ä-kirjainta, joten kirjotus mahdollisuudet on rajatut.

[beyblader10171]

yeah but in this race, Raikkonen had a much faster car than Kubica on the straights, but couldn't overtake Kubica, Raikkonen tried for 7 laps and failed

[legendkillerpunt]

@beyblader10171 you should know that kubica is very difficult to pass and if you were in raikkonen's shoes , you would take a lifetime and still fail at passing kubica

[beyblader10171]

@legendkillerpunt

bottom line is that raikkonen couldnt get past kubica, stop trying to cover Raikkonen's ass

[legendkillerpunt]

@beyblader10171 bottom line is you wasting your time staring at the screen arguing with somebody on the internet and knowing you'd lose 

[beyblader10171]

@legendkillerpunt

yeah you meant Raikkonen lost. Anyway goodbye

[genius7000]

@legendkillerpunt bottom line is... beyblade? he must be like 5

[xradialz]

@legendkillerpunt bottom line is that Kubica is the ugliest f1 driver there is.

[legendkillerpunt]

@xradialz he might be ugly to you but he is talented

[Sp33d1devil1]

@beyblader10171

Forget Suzuka 2005??? 17->1

Kimi Overtake Master!! Bahrein 2006 22->3, France 2005 13->2

[beyblader10171]

@Sp33d1devil1

yes i agree with you, but let's remember that the cars were different in those days, and the drivers were not as talented, we even have kubica, webber, vettel, alonso, hamilton, and if you look at kimi's seasons at mclaren, he only had alonso and and schumi as a main threat

[bazil83]

@beyblader10171 Kimi's car was damaged after contact with Heikki on the first corner...Something like the rear brake cooling on the right side and some aero pieces were severely damaged etc.

[beyblader10171]

@bazil83

oh great, not you again with your excuses, you lot are even worse than the Alonso fans.

[bazil83]

@beyblader10171 Lololol. What excuses? If the car's damaged it's damaged and when youre running the cars to the limit, any deviation can be the difference between faster than a beemer and same pace/slightly slower.

[papujalg]

@beyblader10171 You know Kubica IS very hard to pass we saw that in the last years race if im not mistaken, the last track when Alonso tried to pass him and couldn't so the whole race he was behind him, if they will give kubica a proper car then he will get higher ground (:

[azraaiyunos]

@beyblader10171 the BMW at that time was carrying more wing, so they were a tad bit faster than the ferrari's in the corners....

[MattMK45]

@beyblader10171 That BMW engine is at least more powerful than the Ferrari powerplant, if not down the straights too.

[beyblader10171]

@MattMK45

no way, that bmw was not fast down the straights i can tell you for a fact, the ferrari was consistently fast through all the speed traps, not at this track, but at most of the circuits in 2008. Hmm fair enough the actual engine plant on the bmw may have been more powerful, but because of the aerodynamics of the ferrari car, it could do more speed on the straights and still have good downforce for the corners

[MattMK45]

@beyblader10171 Fair enough. Yeah the Ferrari was a much more sorted car than the BMW.

[ustiansniper]

@beyblader10171 kubica tire was graining 

[AudiQ7V12TDI]

The F2008 was a beauty of a car. Shame it was hardly a car that was going to Kimi's liking till the second half of 2008. Basically Kimi was always a bit on his backfoot trying to defend his world title.

[thachiman]

@Castrol12 actually the problem for raikkonen was he had trouble getting his tyres warm for his final qualifying lap soo he was away from the front but when it came to race pace he had them on piont thats why he set around 11 race fastest laps in 2008 ;)

[Castrol12]

@thachiman Well that was one of the things about the car Kimi didn't like. Because the front didn't warm up enough he couldn't get quite the slide he wanted or liked from the car and instead it understeered. I think the only time he didn't have the problem with tyres warming up was Magny-Cours, but then he was hit with an exhaust failure. Fortunately he still finished second.

[thachiman]

@Castrol12 yeah i would of loved it if he continued his form from magny cours but in 2008 i think felipe massa should of won at singapore but pique delibrate crash caused a safety car and then they made a mistike because of the stuupid ttraffic light system ;/

[Castrol12]

@thachiman Likewise, but sadly development on the car tended to favour Massa's driving style more. Agreed about Massa and the Singapore crash gate, but sadly Piquet Jnr who was involved with Briatore and Symonds committed the act of crashing in order to help keep his drive. Ultimately though, Piquet Jnr just isn't good enough compared to the other F1 drivers.

[BuLLReD86]

raikkonen very very bad driver.

[legendkillerpunt]

@BuLLReD86 how is he a bad driver?

[BuLLReD86]

@legendkillerpunt he broke all or crash

[legendkillerpunt]

@BuLLReD86 what do you mean by 'broke all or crash'

[masterboy1477]

@BuLLReD86 Soo, a very very bad driver became world champion??

that's interesting...........

[DeclanRyan96]

@BuLLReD86 any driver in f1 is a good driver. u turns at 60mph. i culdnt do it

[HeyMarkedOne8]

Here you can see that the car shows no signs of oversteering as Kimi likes,instead there is undeersteering which Massa prefers (noob isn't)!Kimi was forced to use noob's setups in whole 2008 and 1st half of 209!!!

[warriorsfromhell]

wow!hes about to overtake the toyota on the first attempt but he quickly correct his steering knowing that hes gonna run wide in incoming turn....

ive follow kimi since his sauber team time...HES ONE HELL OF A DRIVER!!!

[legendkillerpunt]

@warriorsfromhell he sure is!

[Ferrari123planb]

@warriorsfromhell ive followed him since the sauber days too. he is a talent that should still be in F1

[weirdassmofos]

great move

[legendkillerpunt]

true

[bazil83]

Is it just me, or does it look like there's absolutely no front end grip on that thing? I suppose he did that car issues that race, but it looks horrid in the slow speed corners. I guess a combination of that and the Ferrari generally being understeery in the slower corners

[shreiberrulz]

only 2 words for the F2008...Absolute Beauty.. i mean look at the thing it is unbeleivably gorgeous!!!!

[legendkillerpunt]

yeah i know.. how would you describe the F60?

[shreiberrulz]

@legendkillerpunt based on looks id say one of the best looking cars of 2009 but on performance it shows a very different story

[keytek9]

@legendkillerpunt the f60 is kina weird we see it winning at spa and we see it doing good at monoco maybe more downforce or not a lazy driver ??

[warriorsfromhell]

@legendkillerpunt F60 is a tortoise pretending to be a rabbit in the hands of raikkonen....just like what kimi had made in mp4-17d,its a third fastest car on that season but he was able to push michael till last gp.what kept from idolizing him is during the belgian gp which i dunno what year,i think one of the toyota's had their engine blowed up producing a wall of smoke.then bang!!!kimi just blitz through it without lifting the throttle!!!

[garethkielty]

@shreiberrulz except it failed at winning the championship 

[shreiberrulz]

@shreiberrulz well it won the constructors and was cheated out of the drivers championship...

[ustiansniper]

@shreiberrulz but why i hate it that they changed the half circle ferrari steering wheel :(

[connellrocraymond]

loved the colour of the 2008 ferrari. quite dark! Thought Kimi was unlucky that year, things got away from him really fast. He had magny cours won until he had some weird engine problem and he had to let massa thru. He never really got the momentum back after that, and his head dropped when the title got out of his reach.

He was unreal in 2007 and the second half of 2009. In fact, id venture to say the second half of 09 was kimi's best display in an F1 car. better than 05 and 07 for me.

[legendkillerpunt]

yeah i agree

[MissDriva]

kimi the best <3

[legendkillerpunt]

YEAH!!

[mackey12160204]

great pass raikkonen.

[legendkillerpunt]

yeah

[mackey12160204]

thank you comment.

[legendkillerpunt]

no problem

[legendkillerpunt]

@JordanW8497Sum41 yeah... Kimi did such a good job in a bad car to get a victory
