2007 Formula One Season

The first race of the 2007 F1 season is just around the corner. Racing will get underway on March 18th at Albert Park in Melbourne Australia. The debate continues over who will be the better performer of Raikkonen or Massa. Heres what Christian Klien had to say, "There is no doubt that the Ferrari seems to be the quickest car at the moment, maybe as much as 0.3s and 0.5s per lap on longer runs. Their first lap performance is probably not that much better than the other competitive teams, but it's their consistency that make them difficult to beat. We have to remember that Ferrari has 8 years experience with Bridgestone, so they know exactly how to set the car up to suit these tyres, and that's an advantage for sure.

A lot of people have been pushing Massa quite hard but I think that when the racing starts Raikkonen will have the race pace when it matters most. Over 70 laps he will be fast, consistent and get the most out of the used tyres. This will be important. It is one thing to set times in testing, but it's when the racing starts that Kimi will push 100% all the time." I have to agree with his statements as I feel Raikkonen will be better at laying down consistently fast times as well as being more consistent from race to race. We will see this weekend if that theory is true or not.
