The fact that the STR's are having a good weekend because their is a sniff of Webbers seat...

Is that a fact? Just sounds like layman hypothesis to me. I don't think these guys would be in F1 if they didn't drive as fast as possible all the time.

Did you see Kimi's last year with Ferrari?

He drove pretty well to be fair. Went on a run of podiums, got them third in the constructors too.

He was outscored by Massa 2 to 1 before a spring busted Massa's skull. The car did better towards the second part of the season but by then he was paired with Giancarl Fisichella and Luca Badoer and barely beat GF in half of those races. And you're mistaken they got 4th in the Constructors. The point is that a lead driver leads... they don't just go along for the ride.

Well, maybe the car started suiting him better, yes he was outperformed in Massa, but he was in 2008 too, just after he won the championship, so I don't think him being in the last year for Ferrari made too much of a difference.

Anyway, no ones claiming the Torro Rosso drivers are going to be lead drivers, or are supposed to be. And well, they never had an incentive for just driving along.

[What's Burning?]

I said that as a response to the comment that any F1 driver is going to want to drive as fast as they can all of the time. The term inspired performance didn't happen on its own, and I mentioned Kimi's 2009 season then because that's when I lost most of the respect for his driving.
