please bear in mind that in 2006, the performance differential between the cars was a lot higher than it is now...
also bear in mind that kimi started from the back of the grid, so was on the same lap as everyone else, and that he would have made up several places off the grid. Lewis, by the time the cars were all chnging to dry tyres, was over a lap down on the next last driver, once all had changed, he'd only unlapped himself from 2 drivers, so he had to unlap himself from everyone, then do a complete lap more than them to make up the place, if he'd been on the same lap, he'd have been third, no problem, his pace matched that of alonso, massa and raikonnen througout the race, no-one else was that close
