Taking down Barbie shouldn't be a struggle. Though, calling him a fraud driver is a stretch; he's actually quite decent. He isn't quite on Lewis Hamilton's level, but he can certainly hold his own.
I am certain we will immediately witness a reborn Kimi Räikkönen. When that Finn gets a car that suits him—when he has front-end grip and that specific feel—he becomes incredibly difficult to handle. Vettel might actually find his teammate much harder to deal with than Hamilton did.
What happened last year wasn't the real Kimi. It was just a mountain of issues the team couldn't, or wouldn't, fix because they were too preoccupied with Alonso's car. 🙂 Kimi handled it all well enough, and last season wasn't even remotely an indicator of the actual situation. Besides, Alonso isn't nearly as fast as Kimi.
Ricciardo is going to smoke Kyat, plain and simple.
I spent some time looking into Max Verstappen's career—karting, F3, and so on—and I must say, what I saw was a phenomenon. The only drivers who truly flew through the lower categories like that were Ayrton Senna, Kimi Räikkönen, and Lewis Hamilton. The kid pulled over 20 wins in his first F3 season, lol. You have to watch him closely. He’s young, sure, but it is obvious we are looking at an out-of-this-world talent.
Some might call him an alien. Signed, Mladen Jergović, haha.
By the way, where did that eccentric guy go? He abruptly shut down his portal last year and vanished without a trace. Not that I miss him, but still...
To be fair, I wasn't expecting much from him anyway🙂. I ran into him once at a go-kart track, and he didn't exactly impress me.🙂
