[What's Burning?]

The last dream pairings McLaren had - DC/Mika and DC/Kimi.

Then it all went to hell. I found myself supporting only 1 side of the garage since then.

WTF, who doesn't like Heikki?

I didn't, he was wasting a seat at McLaren. Challenged Lewis once or twice in a season, what's there to like?

DC/Mika, DC/KR, so many instances where both cars were at the front posting fastest laps, racing each other, kicking some serious a**!! Way easier to support the team as a whole when they have 2 drivers who respected each other and were real racers.

I meant like as in personally, he comes off as one of the nicest guys in F1, a philanthropist, and a bird watcher.

Definitely I agree on his personality...by that account I think Karthikeyan is also pretty nice but would you like him as Lewis' teammate? I think Lewis can sit around half the season out and still outscore him.

If Heikki had been on the same form as Lewis throughout 2008, then McLaren would've bagged the WCC that year, most likely. However, there's no doubt Heikki has considerably matured during his time with Catherham, and he's already seen off the vastly more experienced Jarno Trulli, being one of the few drivers to regularly out-qualify the Italian.

And his personality is top drawer.
