    Anderson, yeah cause he get's things right all the time LOL

    But I suppose Kimi is so good at developing a car we have won multiple WCC and WDC with his time with us.....oh wait.

    Even given the comeback we've so far mounted, it still feels like we've nothing to lose. Bold move by the Team and I hope we reap benefits immediately. If he gets a quick car under him next season then it's fair to expect Charles to deliver from the get go. He got called up and it's his responsibility to be ready.

    Welcome to the greatest Formula 1 team in history, Charles. Make us proud.

    We have THE car already and WE WILL have THE car next year. It's up to the rest of the team currently and the new team next year including the people behind the pits. THE CAR IS NOT THE ISSUE and won't be next year.

    They let Seb test so he can get used to new parts and have more track time, just like he had the new parts put on his car first sometimes. After all he is our nr 1 driver.

    Red Bull have DENIED any contact with Mick Schumacher to Autobild.

    Helmut Marko: "He's not on our list and we have zero contact with him."

    Can’t you read, or don’t you understand what you read? Where on those two post anyone say nothing for car development? Or other way, could you tell how you push team better results in windtunnel?

    Maybe you guys should read Newey's recent book. According to Newey, back in the day drivers were helpful in describing the symptoms of easier found problems.But due to the technology available, it doesn't matter anymore. Telemetry can tell them much more.

    No everyone buys into "Kimi develops F1 car". And which part of my post you don't understand?

    Thank you! I did enjoy the video, this kid's aggressiveness and skills remind me of the best. Late breakings though, like the one he did there, will not suffice, his race would have been over in F1.

    Greg is on one of his way of the course remarks, it happens sometimes. He just has to win an argument. Doesn't look like he is winning this one. He does know plenty about F1, but when your premise is wrong, there aren't a lot of places you can go. He sure tries though...

    I doubt many could argue that Kimi does not have a turn up and drive attitude.....he is not the guy who will spend hours in the simulator.

    Not talking about the simulator, drivers help developing the car more on race weekend, as many times what you do in the simulator and what you get on race day is different. Here is an article about how current Renault line-up help develop the car.

    Renault F1 drivers making 2018 car development 'much easier'
    By Scott Mitchell, Valentin Khorounzhiy
    @ScottAutosport , @vkhorounzhiy
    Published on Tuesday April 24th 2018

    Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz have made Renault's Formula 1 car development "much easier" by being "completely aligned" in their feedback, according to the team's chief technical officer Bob Bell.

    The drivers are in their first full season as F1 team-mates, with Hulkenberg arriving from Force India ahead of the 2017 season and Sainz joining from Toro Rosso midway through last year.

    Hulkenberg has enjoyed a markedly stronger start to 2018, outqualifying Sainz three times and outscoring him 22-3 in the standings - but Bell says both drivers have been a huge asset to the development of the RS18.


    "They are brilliant, those two," Bell said. "They are completely aligned about what they say about the car - and it's not because it's some sort of conspiracy!

    "The car has got some obvious faults which they pick up on and tell us race after race, and they are completely aligned.

    "A lot of those faults are common up and down the pitlane, nervous entries, mid-corner understeer and lack of traction on the exit.

    "Some teams have got it more than others, the traits are quite similar, I suspect.

    "The drivers are great, aligned on the issues of the car and that makes our jobs much easier. It's been a real pleasure to work with both of them."

    When Bell's comments were put to Hulkenberg by Autosport, the German said: "Yeah, we seem to want the same thing from the car.

    "That's good, both drivers asking for the same sort of thing, giving the same sort of feedback, makes it easier for the team to tackle the problems."

    This will be a new era for Ferrari with a bright young talent hopefully taking the Scuderia to new heights. I'm not so sure Seb will be relishing the challenge and how the rest of this season pans out will be interesting, Kimi may not want to be too helpful as we saw at Monza. I hope Giovinazzi doesn't lose out by Kimi's move, but for sure team orders at Ferrari for the rest of the season will be necessary, even if Kimi takes no notice! And a very warm welcome to Charles for 2019, I was hoping this would happen.

    Hopefully Charles' arrival will motivate Seb even more. I'd better win the title this year before that whippersnapper starts beating me

    It all started with Kimi "helping" develop Alfa-Sauber's F1 car. Kimi has way more experience in develpment than their current drivers. That's all I was trying to say.....that's it!!! Nothing having to do with Ferrari for 2019.

    And Frederic Vasseur, Sauber CEO agrees with your statement:

    "Signing Kimi Räikkönen as our driver represents an important pillar of our project, and brings us closer to our target of making significant progress as a team in the near future. Kimi’s undoubted talent and immense experience in Formula One will not only contribute to the development of our car, but will also accelerate the growth and development of our team as a whole. Together, we will start the 2019 season with a strong foundation, driven by the determination to fight for results that count."
