[QUOTE="prodigy, post: 2309943, member: 232"] Hamilton and Alonso is slightly different because Hamilton never actually raced in any other F1 car before so he kinda fitted in Mclaren very easily. Alonso on the other hand raced for 3 or 4 seasons with Renault therefore he's actually alot more accustomed to Renault's way of running the team, not to mention the switch from Michelin to Bridgestone. Kimi and Alonso is in very similar position if you ask me. Kimi's had 4 or 5 season with Mclaren too and as such, he's so much more fammiliar to Mclaren's way of running the team. Of coz familiarity issue is one thing, the car's potential is the main thing. Had Ferrari prepared a super car for Kimi this year, i'm in no doubt Kimi will do much better. Problem is, Ferrari haven't given both their drivers a really competetive car. And again, i'd like to touch on Kimi's lifestyle. He ain't helping himself by getting on the wrong side of the media limelight. Sports people nowadays need to live life like a monk, as long as their career is still on going. Gone are the days of boozing, clubbing and pubbing, womanizing, getting into fights and etc. You need to live a discipline life until the day you retire from the sport, and only then you enjoy the money you made. There's a reason why the likes of Michael and Mika are double world champion. You don't see them in papers for the wrong reason. On the other hand, people like Coulthard, Irvine, Button never really made it in F1. I'd like to think that lifestyle don't play a part but i'm quite sure it plays a wee bit in building a successful career. [/QUOTE]
