Oh dear Kimi. Not going to plan, is it?

give the poor bloke time...

think how much england broke when it snowed slightly earlier in the year... now imagine racing on that.

he'll be ok in the end i think...

He's Finnish. They teach kids to drive on snow in school there.

well yeh but not at WRC Speeds. Plus hes been sunning it up with the maranello boys for the past few years and racing slick tires on smooth perfect racetracks since forever

Well he's equalled his previous best result. There's a positve slant on it

not really a big deal- people retire all the time: look at Colin McRae

yeah look at me lol anyway i think kimi will get there it is all new for him and everone knows the speeds there, just you guys wait for the tarmac rallys!

Hmm, Kimi Raikonen on tarmac in a new car vs a multiple world champion who is a tarmac specialist...

I think I know whos gonna win

AHH but who will come second?

vettel bet hirvonen in a WRC RS in the ROC so it can be done. and can i just say that was by 2seconds!

hmm, yeah cos a crappy little stadium circuit (which isn't even tarmac, its like plastic or something) equates to a full Spanish tarmac stage, or a Corsican stage?

Believe me, when Loeb and Raikonen go head to head on a tarmac stage, Kimi will be nowhere.

And even if you do apply your logic that F1=good tarmac driver, then if you take the vice-versa, Sebastien Loeb is better as he has won more championships! Much more!

i dont think he could beat loeb (iv seen him drive in person... the mans amazing!)

but i think he could beat hirvonen or sordo (latvala wont finish so wont be an issue)

I dont think He could beat Dani Sordo on tarmac, he's faster than Loeb on some stages (I think he won Rally Espana)
