He did alright at Jordan (and, briefly, Bennetton) when they were front-runners. Who's to say that Kovalainen wasn't as good as Alonso, or at least close to it? |

I have my doubts, now that I have seen him at Mclaren for a few rounds. He's been solid but unspectacular, admittedly the Mclaren doesn't appear to be as strong as it was last season but I expected more from him. He's beaten Lewis through not making mistakes rather than having superior speed. |

That's debateable. He had the fastest lap of anyone in Bahrain, and quali is only 3-1 to Lewis. Give it a few more races, in my opinion. |

Heikke has done a good job so far and I think he will remain close to lewis. He would have done better if it weren't for the SC in Aus. Not bad for a guy at a new team. Remember a certain Finn being lambasted his first 4 months at Ferrari (I seem to remember calls for the return of MS) yet still recovered to win the WDC? |

Given the current qualification format not all drivers are on fuel loads that will allow them to grab pole so the team mate pole ratios are only a guide but not absolute proof of one drivers ability over the other.. and by his own admission Heikki said in the opening rounds he was going to be cautious and find his way... I think we a beginning to see him more settled in the car and he is now fighting as hard as anyone... Lewis is far from beaten by his team mate but he is not as far ahead as the opening rounds might have suggested. |

I don't buy the "getting used to the tyres" excuse for Kimi struggling at the beginning of last year. If it was really such a problem for him, how come he won his first race for the team? Basically Massa was just quicker for much of the first part of the year. |

Massa had problems in Aus though, he didn't beat him in a straight fight. I don't think it was due to the tyres, I think it was motivation. He said something about "falling back in love the sport" later on in the season. When motivated, he is simply a class above Massa. |

I still disagree with that. I think, at least on his favourite tracks, Massa will beat anyone, not just Raikkonen, in the right car. |
