do you know why kimi got a win and lots of podiums after massa's crash?
simply,he could get a car for HIS driving style.
in 2008 he could won the wdc,but:
1-in monaco got penalised for pit error
2-in canada hamilton tried to fu*k him
3-in france the exhauts
4-at silverstone the wrong strategy
and in the late part of the season he complained the new suspensions brought by ferrari,that suited Felipe's driving style.then ferrari brought him the old suspensions,but was too late,but in fuji and china he was clearly able to fight for the win(or the 2nd place in shanghai).
his only problem is that he's been very unlucky,look in 2003-2005,but he was clearly better than massa(to me he's a bit overrated) IMHO.But ferrari anyway preferred him to kimi...
