[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 826873, member: 2758"] Just my definition of an outright racer. Alonso isn't. Alonso was miles away from Kimi before he had that tyre problem. What gave you the idea that Kimi was under pressure? He went off? That was more due too Kimi being a bit over enthusiastic. Kimi is the sort of person who keeps pushing constantly, Ron Dennis himself said it was difficult to rein in Kimi and ask him to take it easy when he has a big lead because he always wants to push. That fastest lap he did during the last lap being an example of the sort of person he is. Ok, lets just say I believe if the tables are turned, Kimi would be more aggresive going after Alonso. Again, just my gut feeling. I'm not saying Alonso should win wheel to wheel against Raikonnen, just that he should have given a better fight. Instead of settling for second best so fast. Don't understand you here. Schumacher at his best, driving by far the best car on the field (including reliability), would have taken some beating, even with a Mika at his prime with a great McLaren car would have a hard time trying to beat Schumacher. A young, up and rising driver in a team in the midst of a whole lot of restructuring and rebuilding? Would have been a miracle. But then, Kimi did take the fight to Schumacher (2 or 3 seasons back? Couldn't remember) and barring some bad luck would have been World Champion. Schumacher's emergence coincided with the waning of a great generation featuring Mansell, Prost, Senna, Piquet and Lauda. When he was ready to challenge for honours all the greats have left the sport. Schumacher was lucky (or just a lot better) that he had no real peers in his class, Damon? Jacques? Not really. Mika being the only person who could have given him a challenge. [/QUOTE]
