En ik vind het kortzichtig om je te baseren op de jaren dat Kimi en Massa in hetzelfde team hebben gereden. Na de comeback van Kimi is hij beduidend sterker dan Massa. Zowel vorig jaar als dit jaar heeft Massa maar half zo veel punten als de Fin. Alonso heeft juist meer punten in 2012 en 2013 dan Kimi, dus dan doet Massa iets fout in de Ferrari.
Er speelt meer mee en weinig fouten maken is ook een kwaliteit, maar als je Alonso en Raikkonen in dezelfde categorie wil plaatsen dan moet toch in ieder geval de snelheid vergelijkbaar zijn. Het is immers een snelheidssport.
Als dan Massa en Raikkonen 2 jaar lang ongeveer even snel zijn geweest, al was Massa ietsje sneller maar daar gaat het hier niet om, en Alonso Massa ruim achter zich laat, dan hebben we geen enkele reden om aan te nemen dat Alonso niet ook wezenlijk sneller zou zijn dan Raikkonen in dezelfde auto. Je kunt natuurlijk een heleboel smoesjes verzinnen en de boel ingewikkelder proberen te maken dan het is als die boodschap je niet bevalt, maar het blijft dom geleuter van een verblinde fanboy.
quote:
De top van het veld zat in 2007 en 2008 dichtbij elkaar wat betreft de punten. In 2008 viel de Ferrari van Kimi 5x uit waarvan 3x niet door eigen toedoen en Massa maar 3x waarvan 1x niet door eigen toedoen. Daarnaast had Massa al een jaar langer ervaring in de Ferrari, want hij stapte al in 2006 in. Het waren dan ook de sterkere jaren van Massa, tot aan het ongeluk.
Ach ja, het ongeluk, die strohalm.

In the first two races of 2012 Massa has slipped to 0.584 seconds behind Alonso in qualifying which is about double the standard 0.3 seconds of the previous two years. The likelihood is Massa will get back to the standard 0.3 second gap behind Alonso when the car improves with the major updates planned. The rumours are Massa is guaranteed 10 races this year on his contract although that contract will mean very little if Sergio Perez and Massa have another race anytime soon of differing forms like Malaysia.
