Then you had the reverse in America at the end of the season and the Americans went fugging mental (and quite rightly) As for the Kimi Massa thing, if nobody in the team has said 'Kimi you need to let Massa past' or words to that effect, then there is no proof of team orders. Kimi isn't stupid enough to have to be told to move over.

I love Kimi since he just doesn't give a crap about sponsors or fans or interviews. He's probably the most "boring" F1 driver on the grid but since he just drives and does nothing else, I absolutely admire him. I think F1 needs more "characters" who don't conform to the standards F1 drivers are forced to. Characters such as Mansell, Senna, Irvine etc. As for F1 rules. Hmm get rid of refuelling, introduce 100% fuel tanks. Let them change tyres. Or ban pit stops altogether apart from when tyres burst/puncture/wings fall off etc. Let drivers choose if they want to use a soft tyre and don't force them to have to use both compounds during a race. As a result cars are heavier and therefore slower. Also means that with no tyre changes (apart from punctures etc) drivers have to be careful with how they use their tyres. I want to see a driver use a hard or soft compound during the race because he wants the advantages that tyre compound offers him, not because the sodding rules say he has to. Go back to old qually. Saturday, 1 hour. 12 laps. Or perhaps 10 fast laps with pit in/out laps not counting. 2 fast laps to be done every 15 minutes so we don't get chaos at the end and boring scenes at the beginning. Points for taking pole. Points for fastest laps. At least 4 or 5 points difference between 1st and 2nd. Giving 2nd 8 points for keeping safe isn't game. Any more new F1 rules as I think of them! |

Remember Kimi in Brazil a few years ago? Brundle walks up and asks Kimi why he's late to the grid. "I was having a s**t." Who else in F1 now would have said that. |

That's the one. I love Brundle's face. He looks as if he's just walked into a trap.
Just imagine what Ron would do if Lewis said anything like that. |

It was Kimi's face that made me laugh. That mischievous grin - he knew exactly what he was doing.
Brundles comment about the light car was a good comeback as well.

I Love Kimi & Alonso, to me they are the 2 best F1 racers with Alonso edging it on driving but Kimi wins hands down on attitude.
