MOTOGP » Raikkonen compliments Stoner

So touching to see such mutual backslapping between two outstanding competitors who against all odds have vanquished former champions to the also-rans and risen to become undisputed masters at their chosen professions. Almost brings a tear to my eye...

Raikkonen looks more like a very unhappy firefighter with erection problems
I''ve never seen someone so unemotional after winning a worldtitle, like it was just another day at the office, amazing.

Ferrari won the title in the court for him; He probably asks himself now whether it would have been better to end 2nd rather than to become "champ" like this.

Ducati and Stoner just did a good job. He probably want's a piece of that

Poor Kimi in this photo!

I sometimes wonder if he''s slightly Autistic as he has the demeanour/disinterest of a parking attendant in any public event - yet happens to have this amazing talent few in the world possess. An odd combination.

What does Kimi mean by his comment about Stoner: ''''plus being in kind of the same team''''?

Do Ferrari have strong links to Ducati?

Ducati is heavily supported by Ferrari, in the electronis and aerodynamics department for instance.
It's a nice myth that we're dealing with a small group of dedicated Italian ironmongers,
it's big bussiness and big bucks. They come from the same industrialized region in northern Italy that actually wanted to separate from the poor south (Rome, Naples, Sicily) and call themselves Padania (under the Lega Nord party in the 1990's) but didn't succeed in doing so. Its not far from Bologna (Ducati) to Modena (Ferrari). Both are sponsored by marlboro and Shell.

strong is not the word...

Ducati is not the only reason why "it is" as "it is". At least "that is the word". The seem to share information on engine development."Not officially though"

well done both. I quite like Kimi. Apparently he is a bit of a character. Hard to believe I know. I guess in F1 it doesn't take much to be "a character".

Hey Caseys mum. You do know that Kimi is not an aussie don't you . Don't you let the collective hear you bigging up a non collective

Interesting about Kimi is that he makes Mika look lively and sparkling.

Hey jh, Kimi is like the other twin little Casey should have been born with. Well more of a "hush! hush! send you 200 miles away to Aunties till after the birth because what would the neighbours think" type of son. Though I wouldn't have wanted little Kimi setting a bad example to little Casey with all that drinking. Did you know that Kimi is a practising campanologist?

Are the Domenicalis Stefano (Ferari) and Claudio (Ducati)related ?
