I can't seem to understand why Kimi fan boys are so biased. It's like they HAVE to bash all of his teammates and give excuses to everything. Be more reasonable guys, kimi is fast (yeah we know) but not the absolute best, it's ok if he doesn't win all races, you don't have to make it up for him throwing stuff like "Massa would do a fast lap in one spot and then a slower one after, making for very inconsistent racing. Kimi and Kubica were a lot steadier than him..".. honestly who cares? he won the race, thats all that matters.
IMO I think that eventually Kimi will win the championship this year but it's just oh so annoying when you (kimi fan boys) say stuff like "Kimi had obviously more fuel in qualifying than X teammate", "Kimi backed off after 2 laps to cool down the engine", "Kimi pulled the fastest lap of the race with 2 laps remaining so he's the best driver in the world" "Kimi's X teammate is horrible".
Nothing personally against you Satriani (just took your comment as example), I do agree with the rest of your comments.
