Kimi Raikkonen has admitted that the prospect of breaking his own record for the greatest number of fastest laps set during a Formula 1 season [see separate story – click here] is worthless – as he reflects on what he acknowledges has been ‘definitely not my year'.
yes we just have to hope he can see the light at the end of the tunnel but i still say it is because schumi and massa have had more to do with the development of the car than kimi has. The f2008 looks as though it has been designed around massa and that's why he looks good at the moment BUT give massa a car that the setup is not %100 and he gets knowhere with it wheras kimi makes progress by adapting his driving style to overcome the performance issue

Max Well, i think Crash.net's 'Official' title on that story was meant to be a little tongue in cheek to get people debating whether fastest laps in a race have any merit or not.

i think it's more sad to ferrarri to see raikonen with fastest laps and no results.
For Kimi he just get home and take a vodka or whisky and forget the story.
the important thing for him is that Ferrarri accountant won't delay his salary on his account.

Well I think Ferrari should be ashamed of themselves this year and I am afraid the blame is at the new management of the team which hasnt been up to the job. The decisions that have been taken this year have brought them to this state. Fire the strategy team, its been clear that given clean air and the space to get his tires warmed up that Kimi can fly in the car. So why not give him light fuel for qualifying and get him out front where he can get his head down and get the tires warmed up and show the mutiple lap pace of the car. No we go for the stupid lets fill it up and get stuck in the slower cars with no option to overtake. I would guess he would still finish better with low fuel.

doesn't need fast car to win F 1 race (is really true), you only need safety car out in front of you after pitstop it guarantee you will win the race......

The organisers at Spa and Singapore should be fined heavily by the stewards, for putting unsafe walls in the wrong places.
If any Ferrari should hit an unsafe wall, the race should be declared null and void by the FIA, and all points awarded should be withdrawn.

This year McLaren's work has been pretty good, and the reds' so clumsy. Not even FIA folks nor track officials are going to able to hand both titles to Ferrari...
So refreshing seeing victories by Kubica, Kovi, Vettel and Alonso again. If only all the seasons could be as interesting as this year's...

Eventhough Im a ferrari fan I want to see ferrari fail to mclaren this year. It will make them think about their cars and useless strategies. The ghost of unluck has captured kimi again after successful 2007.

Mr Davo Singapore is street circuit. Would you rather the drivers speed straight through unprotected grandstands or yet into the Singapore river? Spa is in the mountains and is surrounded by a forrest. Without these walls you say are in the "wrong places," drivers would have crashes that could be worse than Piquet's in Singapore and Raikkonen's at Spa.
