It's been a few years since I've actively followed F1. Michael Schumacher's reign (well, once Ferrari started making cars that actually worked) just made it boring. When the drivers' championship is wrapped up by the 9th race of the season, what's the point? But I caught the the final race of last season and saw the end of the Bahrain race this season; things are looking interesting again, what with good drivers spread over several teams. Now, if we could just get Ferrari to replace Felipe Massa with Fernando Alonso. Or an Alonso/Hamilton Ferrari team. Honestly I'd much rather see Alonso in the #1 Ferrari car than Kimi Raikkonen.

Ferrari might be paying Kimi over $50 million a year, but as we all know: he's no Senna.

I had no idea you had such an interest in Formel Einz, as the Germans call it.

Now I get the significance of using Kimi R. as your sample homo sapien in your Who's Not Your Mommy? post. You've been trolling for F1 drivers online.

Well, I figured I'd use an F1 champion as my model homo sapien. Michael Schumacher seemed too obvious, and I wanted to keep it relatively current so I didn't care to use Ayrton Senna or Alain Prost.

And Kimi is better-looking than Fernando Alonso.
