Don't taint KR with this. He's not the sort.
mmmm not the sort lets have a look at driver analysis and ask ourselves a couple of questions this will tell you how comitted KR is to the sport.
When interviewed about a passing manouvre by another F1 driver, having crashed out himself KR replied I'm not interested and did not see it I was taking a S**t (very professional)
When asked earlier this year if he had Michael Schumachers 7 times world championships in his sights KR replied no way thats far too much committment. (Glad he is passionate about his sport)
When asked why he does not get involved in off track F1 events KR replied It's not my job to promote F1, I'm a driver
Well based on the above and his performance which I will detail below I'll be amazed if he has a drive with any team next year and will bet good money he certainly won't be sitting in a Ferrari.
Lets look at KR's performance and ask another question
When did you ever see a world champion perform as bad as this? (except Damon Hill!)
Lets make no mistake KR can drive as can anyone of the drivers in F1, you don't get a seat in one of those cars unless you have some talent, and KR did display that in his early days but just like people that have gone before him (Jean Alesi) he is now getting his ass whipped by a new breed of F1 driver and he doen't like it. His driving ability in the wet can be compared to Alan Prosts Bl**dy hopeless, whilst Hamiltons can be compared to Senna's Bl**dy brilliant, there is not substitute for experience and Hamilton had that in abundance in his rain soaked karting days, driving on ice is not the same thing at all, it does teach you good car control but a car slides totaly different in the wet to on ice.
As my parting comment all I can say is Ferarri should now back Massa and show KR the door at the end of the season. If he does not get a drive next year and I hope he doesn't then "Bye Bye Kimi this sport does not need people like you"
