Anyway, back to the real discussion. It certainly appears that you are approaching this discussion from a purely "speed on a lap" standpoint, whereas others including myself feel that champions (which would seem to be the best all-around drivers) aren't necessarily pure speed merchants, but people that can make the whole team faster and still not "use up" the equipment before the end of the race. |
Obviously Ferrari, who can have any driver they choose (perhaps LH is the exception) feels that Kimi is that guy. Note they signed Massa while Alonso was available.
You can't believe after this year that Fred is a guy who can pull a team together.
Only time will tell but my guess (if I'm entitled to one) is that Kimi will only get better and will assume his place as one of Formula Ones greatest drivers. Of course this is only a guess.
