Can Kimi Raikkonen become the subsequent world champ at Ferrari?
Answers:
i doubt it, he is just going to push Ferrari's current car to the confine and blowout every engine again ! (sorry to say that but i used to be a Mclaren Fan) stopped watching F1 mete out its already being dominated. BORING ! try watching A1, Cheers
I have an idea that he has the best luck of becoming the next world victor. The Ferrari's are extremely competitive. All cars will switch to Bridgestone next year...which necessarily means the Ferrari's hold gained a further plus due to the huge amounts of testing and see times both of them have together.
Alonso is no longer near a team that can face for the lead from the start. I mull over Kimi's only genuine competition is going to come from teammate Felipe Massa.
yup, iam100 per cent sure hes gonna thrashh alonso next season next to that ferrari
I am a tifosi of the highest order- so I am capably placed to answer this question.
Whereas Kimi is a completely different beast than Michael, he will win the world battle in 2007- heres why.
Despite the certainty that "the dream team" has any moved on or retired- the core nucleus of the team remains. Aldo Costa, Gilles Simon etc. and adjectives the rest of the team own had years to obtain used to the idea of their superiors moving on.
The core of Renault remains- the drivers suspect contained by talent. McLaren have lost the sensation of Newey and the noose of Mercedes Benz is tightening- transference results or else type of concord.
Lets not forget that Ferrari generally lay the ground work for the following years vehicle in the middle of the year. i.e. 2007s coup¨¦ is already designed and more than likely be through a wind tunnel, have a development scheduel drawn up and already started bench trialling the engine.
Ferrari will still be on Bridgestones where as our two closest competitors will own to get used to a hot brand of tyre. This means redesigning the suspension geometry, getting used to different entry-mid-exit corner characteristics, different wear rates, different, different, different...
It'll be 2001, 2002 and 2004 all over again! i.e. The dominant years.
And if Kimi isn't speedy right away (coming from Michelin to Bridgestone), then Massa will be. He's developed massively within 2006- from stupid mistakes in Bahrain to a blinding masterclass see in Brazil.
Massa's examiner is Jean Todts son (CEO Ferrari). He knows the Ferrari systems. He know where adjectives the green buttons are. He's studied directly under Michael for a year and thus as I vote, his stock has firmed. He's get Bridgestone experience and, like Michael- take orders short thinking 'why have they told me to do that?'
(Look for no further proof of Michaels obiedence than Hungary 1998.
"Michael you involve 25s in 19 lap."
"Thank you.")
And that was that! Blam! Lap after knees.
But that is the glorious history and we're chitchat about the adjectives, about Kimi, in the order of the current package.
I reason Kimi will bring to my beloved boys at Maranello something that Michael has not thought of. Autonomy.
For years Michael have been in that in the trenches next to the troops, motivating, asking questions- working to maximise the package, persue the authority.
Kimi by contrast prefers the teams he drives for to work for themselves and he drives when he's told to. He by definition maximises his own packet (himself) so that when the car and he carry together- it by design is at its peak.
I construe the team will enjoy learnt from the Michael years the confidence to do their own point.
Renault have a brilliant see car- but Fisi is incapable of putting a run together for anything above a race to the shops, the other Finn is a rookie and unlikely to stand up to for the lead much, and McLaren are quick- but just on their day and when they are they usually break down. They'll own Alonso, but if the engine **its itself all over the circuit later its good dark Irene!
Schumacher will still be there or thereabouts. Calling the factory, keeping within touch, giving guidance where its considered necessary. And in time you may see him return to head the team from the pit wall.
I love my boys and I love my sport- God likely we'll see alot more red in 2007! Enzo will look down next to approval, Jean can stop biting his nails, and Kimi might even show some mood!
Theres always hope!
FORZA FERRARI!!!!!!!!...
The Iceman.
Even if he is a great driver,he lately have desperate luck in race.
nope, frlepi massa has better break thn kimin felepi is nt new surrounded by ferrari...n til now ferrari squad was schumi's troop...so kimi will take time to adjust within schum's time
No. And here's why:
The restructuring at Ferrari has brought up to the top the soul that designed the F2005. Which was a piece of sh**. And because they won't be as motivated as they be in Schumacher's presence, the troop will experience a power vacuum. Massa and Raikkonen will fight for the no.1 driver spot, and the concluding time two Ferrari drivers fought each other it didn't expire well.
"Massa and Raikkonen will argue for the no.1 driver spot ..."
That dispute will end roughly 30 seconds after Kimi completes his first trialling lap surrounded by a Ferrari. Massa is good, but let's not receive carried away here. He's not on the same even as Kimi, and he's not the guy they're paying to win the world championship.
Raikkonen will be within the hunt for the driver's title next year, but I don't know whether he'll win it. Next season, at this point, feel a little bit similar to a letdown. Over the last decade or so, we've see Hakkinen and Schumacher and Alonso go out and bear control of the championship, but 2007 seem to be shaping up as a year where it won't be going on for who wins it, but fairly who doesn't lose it.
Kimi and Ferrari will be in contention, but Ferrari is losing abundantly of technical personnel and is going to experience huge change to the way they run the troop in the non-attendance of Schumacher, Brawn, and Martinelli. They're also not going to have any solid benefit from their relationship with Bridgestone because the clean tyre will be far harder than anything they've run in the end 5 years.
McLaren has a well brought-up shot as well beside Alonso, but the reliability of the chassis and the Mercedes engine is still a big question flaw. In addition, whether they choose de la Rosa, Hamilton, or someone else to partner Alonso, he will not own the strong supporting teammate he had within Fisichella for the last two years.
Renault is expected to again have the best techincal packet, but Fisichella is not quite on par beside Raikkonen and Alonso, and Kovalainen is not going to be ready to contend ... not surrounded by 2007, anyway.
Honda could get to equal technical even as the other three, but Button is too inconsistent and Barrichello a bit too far over the hill to really stand up against for the driver's championship. The troop could be in the hunt for the constructor's title, though.
My guess is Raikkonen win in a season where on earth Ferrari simply makes a lesser amount of mistakes than McLaren and Renault, but it won't be the sort of dominating championship run we've settle in to.
Can Kimi Raikkonen become the next world champ at Ferrari?
Possibly, but it's far too untimely to speculate. Let's at least continue until the 2007 cars are launched and at hand is some test mileage on them. Many a great coup¨¦ stumbled between design and the track. This time last year, who would own predicted a barren 2006 season.
Tyres/tires may well be the great equalizer within 2007. True, Ferrari and the other current Bridgestone runners may have a bit of an positive aspect, however, with a single tyre/tire supplier (Bridgestone) surrounded by 2007, we'll see a totally different and probably harder compound and there will be far smaller amount tyre/tire testing.
Despite McLaren's recent unproductive season, I don't meditate Kimi Raikkonen has forgotten how to win race and he is talented ample to be world driving champion, but, even those rambling answers by his supporters won't help him unless he have a great car and a consummate Ferrari team supporting him.
He have a 3 year contract with Ferrari. He should be capable of win a championship surrounded by that time, I would think. Will he win it subsequent year? Maybe, maybe not. Massa might. Alonso could. Maybe it will be Fisi. Or Button. Or the other Finnish bloke whose signature I have on the other hand to learn how to spell. As Gregnir said, we will adjectives have to linger and see. Testing over the winter may give us a clearer picture, but afterwards in this year's championsip, nobody know who was going to win until the end couple of races.
Having said that, disregarding luck, weather, and adjectives other possible mishaps and freak accident probabilities, Kimi and his red troop do look like they enjoy very virtuous chances of successful, but that's pure speculation.
I would love to see Massa beat him. There is only just something about Kimi that I do not resembling.

Nextel Cup Winner?
Question:Out of the guys that arent mathematically eliminated, who do you hope win the nextel cup this year? I hope its Dale Jr. I was going for Kasey Kahne but his hopes of conquering have finished, for this year anyway. Go get 'em surrounded by 07 Kasey!
Answers:
I agree that Kasey should it won it this year, but finally is Jimmie Johnson's year... Go Kahne 07!!!
Matt Kenseth
I can't stand Jimmie Johnson but I think he'll win the nextel cup this year.
I imagine Jimmy Johnson will end up next to it. I wish Mark Martin would own got it.
Matt Kenneth dance no.17, he is the only one that have a real luck to beet jimmy
While I'm hoping that Dale Jr can pull sour the miracle and win the championship this Sunday, realisticlly...it's gonna be Jimmie Johnson unless something crazy happen and takes him out, after the winner will be any Matt Kenseth or Kevin Harvick.
Though I pull for Junior it looks resembling the drivers that are under 100 points from Jimmie Johnson own the best shot.Junior is just outside that extent but still has an out side uncertainty.
JIMMY JOHNSON!!! GO #48!
I think it's Jimmie's Cup this year.
Looks resembling Jimmie's going to get it. Was wish for Jr, but don't think he'll formulate it this year.
Denny's done a really good work this year & it'd be nice to see a rookie win it for a change.
I'm still pulling for Jr! GO #8
I want Dale Jr. to win it, but he would want a miracle for that to happen. I can't stand Johnson so I hope it isn't him!
Jimmie Johnson or Matt Kenseth.
Kasey progress get them within 2007.
I hope that Kenseth can pull it bad. But, I just don't devise that anybody will knock Jimmie Johnson off of the top. That #48 squad is going to arrive at the track prepared to race and finish contained by the Top 10. They won't be going for the victory, but a short time ago to finish the race large enough to lock Kenseth, Harvick, and Earnhardt Jr out of it.
Anyone but Johnson!
JIMMIE!!!
Gotta step with Matt very soon that Mark is out of it.
Hope that Harvick wins..that would be sooo cool to pocket the Busch and Cup championship within the same year..Has that ever happen before?
Since Gordon's out of it I'm going for Johnson because he's a teammate and he's be so close to winning it yesteryear couple of years that he deserves it.
I think it is going to be Johnson. I dont want him to win but he have came surrounded by second the last couple yrs. But i really what Harvick to win!!
#48
Jimmie Johnson, he's mr lucky. But i hope that Dale jr. can verbs it off.
# 8 adherent
Don't like Kenseth, not crazy give or take a few Johnson, maybe Junior can verbs off a miracle.
Its going to be the 48! There is no route he will lose it this time! Dont get me wrong, he can lose it, but i get the impression luck is on his side this time!!
GIVE DENNY HAMLIN SOME LOVE #11
Johnson all the track. He will join his squad mate Gordon as a champ. Dale JR. did good this year but his crew permit him down a couple of times. He & Gordon are looking good for 07. Hamlin is not impossible either. Steward is Steward. He will other be in the mix. Never never count him out.The Bush brothers should be call the BASH brothers the way they hold been driving. I hope they raise with age.
