F1 » Raikkonen: We had no answer to McLaren

despite Hamilton''s behaviour McLaren has built the fastest and reliable car and Ferrari can gain only 90~95% of mercedes engine power. With that kind of racing which Hamilton showed as today he''ll be for sure the champion. The only thing I have is that with Alonso or Kubica onboard as a leaders drivers McLaren could win championchip earlier with stunning impression. But I guess neither Alonso nor Kubica want to drive for them in future.

Ferrari 90-95% of Merc engine power, that would explain why Ferrari (and ferrari powered cars) appear to always be at the top of the top of the speed trap figures week in, week out then.

I've seen some strange excuses for loosing a race, but that one really does need a large pinch of salt.

Team orders There's Ferrari and then there's everyone else: those are the team order and team orders.

You did have an answer. You let the slower Massa past you for points. I do not care for that tactic and I believe it goes against the rules. Cheating plain and simple. They watched FA and Lewis last year to make sure no one got better treatment. Why would this be acceptable behavior for anyone?

Rob, how many times Heikki let Lewis past in the race this season, clearly moving out of the way?? At least 2 or 3 times.

Get over it.

@ rob, if that is how you feel about team orders you must be really upsaet with McClaren for using team orders in Germany, France, and Brittain. I may have left off another too. At least Ferrari waited until Kimi was mathmaticaly eliminated from the championship.

zagotta go crawl back in under your dark little rock you sad loser. ive only heard stupity of that order from some desperate dans on here...

What utter tosh. KR did not have the honesty to admit that it was Hamilton that beat them: not McLaren. If the car was so great then why was HK so far behind LH? Why did Alonso's Renault easily pass the McLaren down the long straight? It wasn't because of slipstreaming as the cars were side by side. At race after race this year the Ferraris have been quicker than anything else out there, so Zagatto's point is the purest fantasy.

to be fair ian, i do believe raikkenon did point out that lewis was the difference today ( in a very overt way) but you'd expect that as he has to justify the highest salary on the grid!?
also i must also say alot of 'lewis haters' have come out in braise today, and acknowledged his efforts, so thats a good thing, lets hope it continues.
finally, as an englishman, i am so proud this lad represents the very best of us brits!!!

seems kimi didnt hav an answer for the reason he let massa past either. lol
