Interesting Article Highlighting Kimi's Late 2009 Form and Rating his Technical Ability - F1 Zone (Features James Allen, Martin Whitmarsh and Ted Kravitz)

Excerpt copied below from http://www.f1zone.net/news/rating-kimi-raikkonens-technical-ability/10802/

-----

"Raikkonen displayed some stunning performances in the latter half of the 2009 season after Ferrari halted development on the F60 to focus on the 2010 car.

According to F1 journalist James Allen, "His performances from July onwards in a car which Ferrari had stopped developing, were astonishing. Even the Ferrari engineers don’t fully understand how he managed to get some of the podiums he did based on the performance of his car, compared to the opposition."

Autosport editor Jonathan Noble also reported, "One team insider suggested that, looking at the data, Raikkonen has once again been doing things in the cockpit of a very difficult car that they can hardly believe. He is going beyond what, theoretically, the F60 would be capable of in normal hands as though the Finn's last great act of defiance is to prove to his former bosses that they were wrong."

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has long been a big proponent of Raikkonen, having worked with the Finn at McLaren for five years from 2002-2006.

Whitmarsh tried to sign Raikkonen after he left Ferrari in 2009, saying, "He is not political, he is absolutely straightforward – what you see is what you get with Kimi – and on top of that everyone knows that he is a winning driver. I think he has been underestimated technically."

In an interview earlier this year with German website Motorsport-total.com, Whitmarsh also said, "I am a Kimi fan and I have never made a secret of it. I think he is an underrated driver - not underrated in that sense because everyone knows how fast he is, but I think people don't realize how smart he is and how good the technical feedback he can give to a team."

By signing a former world champion, Lotus-Renault have signaled that they are serious about their future in the sport. Hopefully the partnership between Renault and Raikkonen, who has been so highly rated by the people who worked with him in the past, will be successful in the seasons ahead."

My take:

The front suspension was changed after Massa's accident as we all know. Kimi just took off like a rocket. He was already stronger reliability and bad luck adjusted before that anyways. Also Kimi had outqualified his teammate.

Kimi's feedback has always been insanely good, his image just hurt him in his earlier years. For some rea

Coulthard reports Martin Whitmarsh in "the firing range." Unable to mount a serious title challenge since he took charge, should Mclaren retain Whitmarsh?

2008, Lewis Hamilton's title winning year, was the last season Mclaren was presided over by Ron Dennis. With arguably the strongest drivers lineup, the best technology and greatest resources of any team, Mclaren has been unable to mount a serious title challenge. An abysmal start to 2009 found Lewis unable to fight to keep his title, though by the end of the season they may well have had the strongest car in the field. Sporadic wins followed for the next two years and in 2012 Mclaren could have taken the title if not for constant mechanical failures. Without a Constructors Championship since Mikka Hakkinen and nearly five years since Lewis's took the Drivers title, should Martin remain in control?

So Martin Whitmarsh is colourblind - who knew?

In an interview on today's BBC FP2 coverage Whitmarsh explained that the weather radar, to him, was completely meaningless as he is totally colourblind. I thought it was quite interesting as a piece of F1 related trivia. Paul Newman is the only other motor-racing related person I can think of with the condition. Anyone know of any others?

Whats happening with Martin Whitmarsh?

So he's not the McLaren team principal any more, but is he still at McLaren? Linked with Lotus? Gone fishing with Ross Brawn?

This article seems to suggest no one really knows and he's still at McLaren.
