michael schumacher no doubt is the greatest formula 1 driver of all time, he has proven anything that needs to be proven. but why don't give kimi a chance, he's still young, he just needs a good car, and a good team, kimi is still young, and he's a good driver, he may not be as good as schumi but i know he can show us something to be quite watching and quite loving.

i think he is in terms of skills and determination i think he is really capable of becoming a world champion.. its just a matter of how he can adjust well to the car and team.

Kimi Raikonnen is a talented driver - there is no denying that - but my main concern is that his aggressive, gung ho, all or nothing driving style will not suit the ferrari. Michael was able to drive the car to the limit without breaking it (most of the time!).
He has won 9 formula one races in his career, so he is not uselee behind the wheel - I dont think he will be able to win 7 titles though. - after Alonso, he is the best there is.
Also, his behaviour off the track has raised a few eyebrows. He has been warned to behave himself by Ferrari.
Only time will tell if he can be as good as Schumi - or can Felippe Massa rule the roost? we'll see......

I would think so. He is aggressive and shows great determination. He is young and in the years to come I am sure we will see grat things from him. I hope he wins lots of world championships.

I think from the available drivers Kimi is the best choice for Ferrari and he should be able to show his talent now that was hindered by poor reliability,

Considering the options available, Raikonnen is a good replacement for Schumi. McLaren had lot of technical snarls that led to a poor run for Raikonnen during last season, though he always showed that he has the skills if given a good car.
I thing Raikonnen with his skills and ferrari with its reliability will be an unbeatable combination.

Well,I dont think that Kimi will instantly win some races,since he will need some time to adapt in Ferrari circumstances,tho I know he can do it in no time at all.
Ross Brawn also left with Schumacher is it? So I think Ferrari would have some hard time in the beginning of the season,but Im sure the team will win much races from the 4th thru the end.
