Thanks, glad it's been put together by a different company this year as the 2012 one was really disappointing.

There have been people giving it 1 star reviews on Amazon because they didn't like the season. Idiots.

Whats everyones views on the suppose Montezemolo comments that in effect, Kimi is Alonso's aide?

I don't want to make too many predictions because 2014 could be so unreliable or favour certain drivers...

...but based on 2012-13 form, Alonso would beat Raikkonen and will be fine if he doesn't engage in mind games (because he sucks at them). Just my two cents.

[mikhailv]

I know Alonso will beat Kimi. Its interesting that Monte apparently just come out point blank and said that he is to be subordinate and assist Alonso. Sort of takes the edge away from the pairing. If Alonso loses its automatically 'beaten by number 2'. If he wins its automatically 'kimi forced to be 2nd'.

[tderias]

When did Monty say Kimi will play no. 2? Surely the media be would all up on that...

[mikhailv]

Media is all over it. lol. Its how you interpret his words, but it looks pretty clear to me.

"He knows, he's in the autumn of his career [talking about RAI]. He's particularly strong in the races and can take away points from fernando's opponents." "Kimi's presence'll be important to help alonso in his fight for places at the very front and for important/crucial points".

Top 10 of 2013

Pretty much agree with the top 10, except I wouldn't have Massa there. Id also have grosjean... above Hamilton.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion!

My view was that Grosjean was excellent in the second part but pretty sub-par in the first half of the year.

To be honest, there was a clear P1, P2, P3, but between P4-7 was close, while P8-P15 you could have put in any order really.

Phil, you are totally spot on for P1 to P5.

Have to stop listening to LdM.
He started to create trouble for his drivers even before the partnership has started.
I've got a feeling they (Alo & Rai) will work out fine & surprise everybody.
Of course I could be totally wrong.
