I think Formula 1 has officially claimed a piece of my heart for good! To be honest, I’m not even that much of a speed demon or a huge motorsport fanatic—if it weren't for all the constant hype surrounding the cars and the technical stuff, I probably wouldn't care as much. Personally, nothing beats just driving through the countryside on an open road where it's just me and the scenery... BUT, man, Senna was just something else. As both a driver and a human being, he completely blew me away. I fell in love with his whole vibe—that humility, his simplicity, his sheer grit, and that incredible bravery... it’s just captivating. That's exactly why I decided to start this Facebook page. I'd love for fellow fans to come hang out here if you're interested! We're aiming to hit our first 1,000 followers to get things moving. Thanks so much!

Jamie Hall said:It’s all pretty obvious to anyone actually paying attention. 🙂

Jamie Hall said:Heh, there isn't much to debate here. You already know who joined Ferrari this year, and you know exactly who has been with them since 2009.

That's exactly what I mean. And no, I’m not saying this just to defend Kimi—I'm saying it because it's simply the truth.

We all know the car isn't going to be built to favor the rookie over a driver with actual seniority in this team. That’s not even counting what Kimi brought to Ferrari before he made his move to WRC.

Look, Alonso’s been here since 2009. Kimi only just arrived this year. It's pretty obvious which way the car and the team are leaning.

Look, I’m not saying Alonso is at fault here, nor am I suggesting he deserves less credit because of it. My point is simply this: wouldn't it be a disaster for him—and for all of you—if he turned out to be even less capable than Kimi in a situation like this?

Jamie Hall said:Maybe try reading with a bit more comprehension? 🙂

Jamie Hall said:Total trolling here. What can I say? You're good at being a troll, but what does it get you? When you can't even craft a logical response to a factual statement, you just act shocked by what the other person is saying. 🤣

Still... at least it’s a laugh. 😍

Jamie Hall said:Just tell me—would it make any sense for him to be worse than Kimi, considering the car was built specifically for Alonso? 😂

Define "a car built specifically for Alonso."

darkmarlin16 said:I have this nagging feeling that Ferrari values Fernando Alonso more than Kimi Raikkonen.

Jamie Hall said:Fair enough, I get it.

I think this is at least the sixth time you’ve mentioned that.

Jamie Hall said:Just tell me, wouldn't it be logical if he was worse than Kimi, considering the car was set up in Alonso's favor? 😂

Jamie Hall said:Look, just face the facts. Alonso won championships with teams similar to what Mercedes-Benz is running today. Sure, maybe they weren't quite that dominant back then, but then again, who actually had that kind of power at the time?

Jamie Hall Asks:
Kimi took a win with Ferrari back when they were actually a force to be reckoned with. He secured one victory there. Alonso? Not a single one.

What good are all these season statistics really worth if Alonso ends up walking away empty-handed again?

stormybadger8 said:The real question is, who is this kid? How can Mercedes drivers themselves just dial up the engine power when we know Red Bull Racing can't? If you remember the mess with Ricciardo and the fuel, the FIA was very clear: a driver has zero influence over that. 😉
Second point—if it’s actually true they were running more power than allowed, then it clearly means one of two things:

A. A. Mercedes was cheating (like Rosberg in Bahrain, or Hamilton in Spain), and for some reason, the FIA didn't penalize them...
B. Mercedes is constantly running with significantly less power than they are capable of, essentially keeping a massive power reserve they aren't even using...

If it's scenario B, then the season is basically over before it started, because it means nobody stands a chance against them. But if it's scenario A? Then we have another huge problem on our hands.

graniteharbor502 said:Too little, too soon? If you’re just looking at the points tally, sure, I get the argument. But if you actually watch what went down on the track, the whole picture changes.
Regarding the Australian Grand Prix, I wouldn't say things went terribly according to Pat Fry. He noted that both F14 cars dealt with electrical issues—particularly Kimi’s car—which ultimately prevented him from tapping into its full potential.
Malaysian Grand Prix. Second lap. Kimi’s right there, tucked directly behind Alonso, when Magnussen punctures his tire. How does he even make it back to the pits? Somehow he limps in, but the floor is trashed.
Bahrain Grand Prix. A completely unnecessary pit call for a tire change after only seven laps—switching to a harder compound when they’d already used the previous set. And yet, he managed to finish right behind Fernando Alonso. Does that mean Alonso actually underperformed significantly during this race?
The Chinese Grand Prix. Let's just set aside those car issues that forced him to complete nothing more than an installation lap in P1. Should we really call that performance a failure?
Spanish Grand Prix. Kimi Räikkönen outpaced Fernando Alonso in qualifying—though Ted Kravitz did highlight that document where the FIA warned Ferrari to bring the Spanish driver's power unit into compliance with the regulations. In the race, Kimi stayed ahead, even though the team failed twice to clearly signal which driver they were favoring through their strategy. Despite being on the less optimal plan, Kimi still finished just one spot behind Alonso. Does that mean Alonso simply left too much on the table during that race?
So, we’re at the end of the Monaco Grand Prix. Should we even bother mentioning anything besides the order after that first—and for most, only—pit stop? Because things got wild. Max Chilton loses control behind the safety car right in the middle of a turn and punctures Kimi's tire. What exactly happens when chaos like that strikes?
The race was a complete mess. Just chaotic from start to finish. Can you even call it strategic racing when everything falls apart like that? It felt less like a masterclass and more like survival. A lot of noise, a lot of wasted effort. Was anyone actually prepared for this level of unpredictability? Probably not.

MAXYM The user said:I caught a phrase on an Italian site yesterday that felt pretty spot on for Kimi: "Räikkönen, the champion of excuses." 🙏

Jason Campbell70 said:If there’s any track that favors Nico Rosberg over Lewis Hamilton, it’s Monaco.

He consistently nails qualifying there, and it's where he's pulled off some of his best career results.
Last season, he went from pole straight to a win; the year before, he climbed from third in qualifying to second in the race.

Over the last few seasons, Rosberg has regularly outpaced Hamilton in Monaco qualifying... so I’m giving him a slight edge this time. Given that the weekend looks set to be dry and sunny—Rosberg is my pick for pole.

As for the winner? Well, that will likely be decided by the guy in the silver SLS—or rather, the reasons for his exit. Will it be Pastor Maldonado, Romain Grosjean, Kamui Kobayashi, Jean-Éric Vergne... or just some random chaos on the track?
