Badoer VS Raikkonen

[ferrarifanman]

Kimi will have the upper hand. It's nothing against Luca... he has just been out of racing for so long and not had testing leading up to it so he is on the back foot.

If he manages to do better then Kimi over the weekend a lot of questions will be asked!

parallell being Kimi vs De la Rosa in 2006. Pedro sucked in qualy, but when it came to race he was on par if not better than Kimi.

I think Badoer will have enough consistency to be competitive during the race. Also he should be aware of the opportunity to show up his skills (if he has some ). Pedro was driving like mad when he jumped into racing seat in 2005. He made a few mistakes but there were some spectacular overtakings too. I hope that Badoer will be same as aggresive, especially because he's got the magic button.

And yes, I think that Kimi's gonna beat him in qualifying and in race too, unless something happens to the car. I hope that Ferraris will be strong after winning last year and having good result in Hungary.

lucas' cunning plan to outpace kimi

[Raging Bull]

Yeah Badoer looks like he is and is going to continue to struggle. 4!!!! pit speed violations in one day. I think he is going to battle to do as good a job as Alguersuari and he doesn't look that fit(not much muscle on the bloke) and certainly doesn't look comfortable in this role.

It just amazes me why they wouldn't give some up and coming young guy with big raps a go. They would probably sign away their soul to ferrari for the chance and would learn so much in that environment for a few races. hmmm like Daniel Ricciardo or even Senna??

[f1freak]

No ways Badoer will beat Kimi. If it would have been a testing championship badoer would have definately beaten Kimi

[farruquito]

I open a new topic because I think that Badoer can beat Kimi at Valencia. And you??

Raikkonen vs. who?

[Tom Vandenhove]

Raikkonen vs. BAD

[TwistedArmco]

Yes, it seems Badoer's name on the timing screens is the most adequate of the entire field - "BAD". Especially given that Lewis Hamilton is not in fact processed meat, Timo Glock doesn't glow and Fisi does not Fizz.

lol, there's a reason I didn't include that one, not that mine were the height of humour. Although it's a valid point that Romain really needs a haircut.

Luca doesn't stand a chance. However, there are possibilities of a large first lap crash if he can use KERS to get a good start then accidentally run Sutil off somehow.

[m.j.wells]

Ooooops!

Was Luca di Montezemolo being real?????!!!!! Badoer for Spa!!!!!
Surely not.

[koinek]

^Same reaction I had! It takes a special kind of talent to bring the same car that's on the podium, to the finish line in last place. Now we know why Ferrari picked Mika Salo in '99 instead of Luca.

I think now is a good time for this:
