I would concurr with others that Ferrari have favoured Massa and his driving style.
I believe that both Lewis and Kimi prefer the car to drive in the same way, so with two drivers liking it the same way the package will be less compromised.

I'd like to see Kimi and Lewis together as I think they will be a good fast team...LH will be the PR boy wonder and KR the been there seen it done it turn up and race wingman.

very clear message from Kimi. he is not interested in just being in F1, he is interested in winning and needs equipment giving him chance to do that.

nothing new, he's shown that already many times.

Corporately speaking he'll be the wingman. Lewis will be the PR baby and Kimi will "just drive". They will get equal equipment and opportunity though.

Equal treatment? At McLaren? NEVER!!!!, They favored rookie Lewis over 2XWDC Alonso who was making $40Million... McLaren would never give equal treatment :wink:

Do we have to blight every thread with this ??????

Some say Lewis was a lying cheating evil son of satan. Others say Alsonso was a lying cheating evil son of satan. Others say Ron was a lying cheating evil son of satan. Some say Whitmarsh is a protocol droid under Ron's satanic control. Other say Lewis put sugar in Alonso's fuel rig. Others say Alonso put bubble gum under Lewis's gas pedal. Some say it was all a conspiracy by Moseley, Bernie and Flav based on a late night bet with Elvis after some hard drinking in a Soho strip joint after a dull 0-0 QPR game that Ron would outlast Max and Flav. Personally I blame the man on the grassy knoll.

2007 has gone, forget it.

I woulld love to see Kimi vs Lewis, but IF Lewis spanks him like Massa did last year, most will just say that McLaren favor Lewis, just as they did with Alonso... The $40M "2XWDC"

You really think that if Massa betters Alonso people will think it is because Massa is favored at Ferrari? That would be a very strange conclusion to come to in my mind.

For all the Kimi fans, I'm curious to hear why some of you would love to see him at McLaren? Yes it's possible McLaren (or Brawn) have the best chances of providing Kimi with a winning car, but Kimi had horribly bad luck while driving for McLaren all those years. It's almost as if he was cursed while he drove for McLaren.

As a Kimi fan, I really do not want to see Kimi frustrated again driving a cursed car.

I think it was more poor reliability with the Newey-led cars then some sort of curse. Since 2007, the cars have been very reliable and have been doing well (early part of this season aside).
