Raikkonen's title hopes

Agreed.
Its always more interesting than a normal championship battle too imo. More is effected, like at the end of it, you know the drivers will hate each other
Last year Ferrari recovered, why cant they this year? Shumi is still advising him, and if his experience is as important as people say, then why cant he do the same.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Well, like I said if the right is MS, then he is still there and if his influence is as good as people say then by looking at the numbers he should be able to help like how he did last year.

Heh, which season did you watch? Alonso won with a 13 point gap to Schumacher last year. It's very hard to remove a 20 point gap like that with the current system, unless something happens to one of the drivers. You can say that Shumacher got level with Alonso at one point, true, but he did have the same engine failure Alonso had at Monza. In the end, if everything goes right for both drivers, you just can't overcame that gap. For Massa to have a good chance, he'd need to get multiple victories with Kimi coming between him and the McLarens. But with the way things are, I really doubt they can do it. And also, last year, 60% of Ferrari's performance were down to the Tyres...Bridgestone just had it nailed last year for them at the end. Remember Brazil? They were maybe a full second faster than everyone else on the grid...this year everyone is on the same boat, so Ferrari won't be able to take advantage of a better tyre this time around.
No, I think the championship this year is between Alonso and Hamilton. It's been a different season for Alonso, since he isn't in his usual spot of being in the lead of the championship and just manage it to the end...he has to start winning races again right away to reduce that gap to Lewis. It'll be interesting to see if he can win like this. But I suspect Ferrari's participation in the fight is over. But don't get me wrong...I'd love to see Kimi fighting for wins again.

Huh?
Schumacher should pull the whole Ferrari team up by the bootstraps himself?
How about the other 500 or so people employed by the team who were also there last year?

while you're right Nick, we can judge a little bit from their personalities and from what people who have worked with them have said about them. Schumacher was known to be very interested in every little tiny detail of the car, he would keep asking the engineers about this or that, exhausting them sometimes because he wanted to know so much, he was totally geeky about wanting to know everything.
McLaren employees have said that Kimi is not interested much about how the car works, and just wants to drive the damn thing, and that he's a bit lazy. he sometimes looks bored at even being in F1, nevermind wanting to know how the car works.
Massa, i don't know about, but he's probably closer to MS' character than Kimi's because he's tried to learn from MS about how to work with the team.
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

Rumour has it that Kimi is going to be driving Toyota next year

And on the other hand Ferrari employees have said that Kimi can give very detailed information of what's wrong with the car.
