chicorytip wrote: » That's a bit unfair, I think. His performances in qualifying are pretty damning but he has driven well in certain races - in comparison to Russell that is. The pair of them are in a competition of their own at the rear. A move to Haas could possibly result in him getting a full race seat there at some stage at the expense of Grosjean who really needs to improve quickly.
El_Duderino 09 wrote: » Was there a reason he was out qualified by Gio yesterday? They were close but they were eliminated in Q1. So it’s probably not a case of Gio rising to meet Kimi’s standard. More likely Kimi is down at the standard we expect from Gio. Kimi has always has prolonged poor form. He’s very up and down and the first half of the season was surprisingly good.

But to say he’s the slowest driver on the grid is not unfair, to say nobody will consider him for a race seat because his tone has passed, is not unfair. To say he’s in a battle with Russel is not true. There’s absolutely no competition between them. Russell has won almost every single quali and race. The gaps are massive even though the past race was actually close. This happens every time I say anything negative about RK. You have to preface “he’s not fast right now” with a load of platitudes about how amazing he is for coming back from injury, he has a massive knob and minty fresh breath and he’s a great guy - and he’s not good enough for f1 anymore. (I don’t actually have a clue if he’s a good guy) Just as an example of how people suspend reality when talking about RK. You suggested he might move to Haas and eventually take over from Grosjean. He’s 34 now and miles off the pace. Grosjean is contracted for next year so you’re talking about him getting a race seat when he’s 36 - 2 years older and slower than he is now. Complete fantasy.

chicorytip wrote: » Are you confusing me with somebody else? I'm not one of his Polish fanboys. This Latifi fellah is certainly not going to be a major upgrade next year. If Kubica gets a reserve role at Haas and Grosjean is still suffering from this extended nervous breakdown he is currently undergoing and gets his P45, well then, who knows?
