Who do you think will be the most succesful driver for Ferrari this season?

Hard to tell, Massa was pretty awesome last season.

Hard to tell at this stage, but if Kimi carries over the same mentality from last season Massa will out-do him again.

Of the pair Massa is way above Raikkonen. Raikkonen just has the wrong atitude in my opinion and Massa deserves a WDC so best he gets it when McLaren aren't competitve or LH might take it off him on the last corner again.

I don't know. Could be either.

Kimi can be so much better than he was last year but that was the best we've seen from Massa so imo it depends which head Kimi's got on this year, if they're both on form it could be close but I would reckon Kimi would come out on top.

Though I'm hoping for FM (such a nice bum )

Massa fo sure.

People can blame Kimi's lazy attitude all they wish, but in truth. Massa had matched Kimi in 2007 and was ahead by something like 12 points, until Ferrari forget to fuel him during Hungary quali and as we know. That effectivly ends your weekend in Hungary. Plus a faliure in Italy meant that Massa lost ground and had to support Kimi through the last races. Come 2008, and they were evenly matched until Kimi's string of poor races resigned him the role of support driver.

Personally, I really do believe that Massa is that bit better than Kimi, full stop. He's able to consistently get more out of the car, and then does a better job in quali.

[Rivelution]

Kimi's best is better than Massa's best, just because Massa out did Kimi last year doesnt mean he is better. I mean after all its just one season where he has done really well. I'll take him more seriously than last year.

I hope Massa can contend for the title again this year, he'll pull a Nigel Mansell if he does.

[FerrariFan63]

The difference between them is small enough that where their heads are at can easily make the difference.

Kimi Raikkonen

For me its kinda hard to tell... as far as their career go, Kimi has had many sensational races and has proven his best form is strong enough and his worse form is still strong for some pts (last yr's tire issues aside). Massa has proven he can bring himself up to such winning form, and better yet, he seems not easily discouraged, while Kimi often seems discouraged and mentally absent. However, Massa's worse form is kinda shaky, but if he manages to polish this through hard work...

Again, this yr should be very decisive and exiting in F1, as everyone will be dealt a somewhat random package to build from there... so i'll be a little bold and say Massa will out-do Kimi this yr, because he is probably harder working and harder to discourage with what Ferrari may have been dealt for this yr; but even so, it may be by a very narrow margin...

Regardless, it will be the most interesting in-team battle of the season

Probably, but Vettel and Webber could be pretty interesting. And the possibility of Button and Barichello to watch out for too.

Vettel / Webber... well I think Vettel will be better, but it will be very interesting.
Button / Barrichelo... if Brawn's pace is what the test sessions suggest, but it remains to be seen... they both deserve such break though.

Other good battles will be Nick/Robert and Trulli/Glock.

LOL, most teams except for Mclaren and Renault then?
