Yeah, but results talk and apart from last season where Mclaren threw it away, Raikonnen has never really delivered the goods.
What really surprisd me today was how much speed they were carrying even though it was spitting with rain. They didn't look any less commited.
Will be very interesting tomorrow if wet
Forecast looks good for the race

Funny how he's second in the Championship Tables now, the currnet world champion and won 4 races in a row last season. 

1 championship that the other team threw away and currently second in the tables, soon to be 3rd I feel.
I wonder what his wins to race ratio is, I bet it isn't that good at all.
Why has the decision on Massa's stop been delayed until after the race - total farce!
If that was any other team they would be served a stop and go.
If a time penalty is applied it should be at least 25 seconds.

Raikkonen also has the highest no of fastest laps this year. Raikkonen's not arsed about stats though.

I thought that'd be a drive through for sure, but then perhaps they can say that as the last team in the pitlane it wasn't actually that dangerous. Certainly it didn't look like Sutil had to brake to avoid Massa, and if the pitlane hadn't narrowed they probably could have exited side by side perfectly safely. And it's true that similar things have happened in the past without penalty.
I think it's another case of the rules needing a bit of clarification, i.e. that the pit lane is single file only and make it clear that the car moving first has unequivocable right of way.
Bit of a dull race it has to be said. Massa fully deserved to win though, so it would have been a shame if he had been penalised.
