Someone had to start this, as the F60 thread is getting rather messy with all the Kimi vs. Massa talk.

Never mind, these FM X KR polls are aways like that.
The diference is that this year the usual suspect didn't have the b***s to start it.

This time the options should be reversed, because Massa finished ahead. So I was waiting for months someone from the other side to start it.Originally posted by saudoso

Sorry - I'm new to doing polls (honestly wasn't even sure if it should have one) and I was just copying from last years poll with minor tweaks - didn't mean to leave out that option, can it be fixed? Edit = notice only mods can change a poll - I would add a question with: It'll be close fight, but Massa is the one who delivers in the end. (Fair play to all then.)
I started it because I was tired of reading in the F60 thread how people should take the Kimi vs. Massa talk to another thread...no one seemed to start one...so I did.

They are simply very well matched but not many will accept it still. This year it will be a close call as well, it could go either way. And no it's not about the car, if a car isnt to your liking you adapt and still go fast.

I'm also interested to see how Massa responds to his 2008 disappointment. His was just such a successful year comparative to those previously, and yet the end result was the opposite of Raikkonen's when in a similar late-season situation in 2007. Sometimes, a driver doesn't get a better chance in the future after missing an opportunity to win even when they feel resolved that that won't be the case. I do also suspect that, often, previous abject failure comparative to reputation, expectation and talent (not something you could accuse Massa of in '08) can actually provide the better motivator to perform in future instances.
Still, as you can see, I'm not technical and such talk about motivations could feasibly be complete cack. It's the beauty of there being so many changed parameters involved for '09 in every area.

As usual, I didn't vote, but if I had, I might've picked one of the pro-Kimi options - out of spite, if nothing else. Seriously, though, I've genuinely never thought he's quite as useless (relatively speaking) as people say he is, so I reckon he should be capable of beating his teammate. I'm not saying he will, just that he could. Maybe. I'd like to think so, anyway. Basically, I just want the love of my fanboy life to have one good season I can look back on and feel all warm and fuzzy about once he's gone - sort of like people remember HHF's 1999 season with fondness and admiration. There's a distinct chance 2009 will be the last chance my boy's going to get so he'd damn well better make the most of it.

Well dude, the point of this thread is beyond just the poll - it's for people to continue talking about Kimi vs Felipe, Felipe vs Kimi, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera - in their 'own' thread (so to speak). Far too many people complained about the constant off-topic chatter in the F60 thread, so a thread was started for KvF for 2009.

He won the WDC in 2007,so in my books thats not a bad season 6 wins to rivals 4 is great in my book.

I think unreliability will play a big part in the season for all drivers, and it could play a big part in Kimi vs Massa.

Heel boy! Are you scared or something?
TBH I more or less wish for the F60 to be a dog. Any driver worthy of the name can drive a dream car, but driving a dog and still do well is another story and if the F60 is - we'll finally see who comes out on top as a driver, Massa or Kimi. IMO.

Im not scared.Bring on Fernando to Ferrari patrner Kimi and we will see who is scared Im just fed up with talks that Massa`s seat is safe and Kimi is the one to make room to Fernando

Well you know I wished for Kimi to partner Alonso even at McLaren so I have no problem with that.
Though I can agree with that all this talk about Kimi getting the boot is a bit silly. I don't believe a word of it. If Alonso goes to Ferrari (and I'm not even sure I want that before I see how they cope with the new regs) it will not be because of any of the current drivers getting sacked - unless he underperforms atrociously and I can't see that happening with neither Kimi nor Massa. They are both too professional for that.

As to wether or not Ferrari will have the car to be competative in 09 - won't know that for months yet.

Exactly. If Massa and Raikkonen were on the market for same price, guess who would gain more interest?Originally posted by mursuka80

Usually Massa goes backwards in the races and Kimi forward, with these rules supposedly making overtaking easier, it will be interesting, Massa will have to face more overtake attempts over him, while Kimi will be able to overtake more. Looks promising for Kimi even if there happened no changes to their lap time potential of 2008.
If Massa can beat Kimi again, then maybe Kimi is a dead horse, but I very much suspect it will happen. Last year so many safety cars, Hamiltons etc.. went against Kimi, the same shouldnt happen this year.

Posted 19 January 2009 - 01:20
Wanna do a poll? ...try something simple and clean with no allegations of performance:
Believe Kimi will beat Massa
Believe Massa will beat Kimi
Believe its too close to call this year
[couldnt care less as long as a red car wins] you could add this one as an optional

The proper options IMO should be:
Kimi dominates Felipe
Kimi edges narrowly Felipe
Felipe dominates Kimi
Felipe edges narrowly Kimi
Too close to call

I agree that the poll is misleading. Why are there options that either Driver A or B wins the CHAMPIONSHIP. Isn't this thread supposed to be purely about driver comparison? If I think one of them will dominate badly, but expect another team to win the championship, I don't really have a good option to vote for, do I? Also "close fight" and "both have a horrible year" seem to sound quite similar in comparing.
The proper options IMO should be:
Kimi dominates Felipe
Kimi edges narrowly Felipe
Felipe dominates Kimi
Felipe edges narrowly Kimi
Too close to call
Well the narrowly edges options really are nothing be rehashes of the last option, hence only three options are really needed:
Dunno
Felipe
Kimi
For my taste any close call falls within noise variance...

Well dominating is something like beating by 0.3+ sec in and out. I think there is need for the slight beating option of 0.1...0.3 sec too. If you have no enough options you cant vote precisely enough, and the result is ruined.Originally posted by Oho

I'm a Kimi fan since Sauber-times, but this time (if 2008 will repeat) there will be no mercy at the end of 2009. C'mon, no more Bode Miller-like driving.

I am not sure both of you meant the same. The way I read it - micra doubts Massa would beat Kimi again while you are leaning in the opposite direction - that Massa will repeat what he did in 2008. That's why I asked for clarification.

What we expect Mikra to write is the oppostie of what he actually wrote. So either he changed his mind loud and clear or it was only a freudian slip ;) .

I think he meant "doubt", not "suspect". Unless he really thinks that Massa is likely to beat Kimi again but I don't think he has written Kimi off yet ;)
