Why do all of you brainwashed M. Schumacher glory chasing 'fans' hate Kimi so much?

Michael and Kimi are two entirely different people. i think a lot of Ferrari fans don't like the way that kimi leaves the track if he crashes/breaks down or whatever. when Michael didn't finish a race 9 times out of 10 he would be in the garage or on the pit wall giving support to Rubins or Massa. Also Michael was a private person off track and Kimi is a bit of a party animal. i think they will get used to him and throw their support behind him once he really gets into the groove of the Ferrari team. perhaps they think he lacks the commitment to the team that Michael showed

What? I'm not a Kimi hater. He's no Schumi and may still be coming to terms with his car. Plus, he is using bridgestones for the first time and may still be learning how to benefit from the tyres. It's not easy for a driver to jump into a new car and hey presto! Get on the podium each time. He has to unlearn everything he knows about Michelins. Whereas Massa has been with Ferrari for a few years (one as a test driver) and thus has a better understanding of the car and Bridgestones (ferrari have been using them for years)

Just remember that Kimi (and everyone else) is not Schumi. Give Kimi a bit more time and I'm sure he'll help put ferrari at the top of the standings.

Formula 1 hasn't changed much over the years, Ferrari have always appeared the dominant team. Michael Schumacher has been a pivotal part of their success and now he has retired, people instantly expect a replacement to fill his shoes. Kimi Raikkonen is an exceptional talent but he is no Michael Schumacher for the reason no-one else could be Michael Schumacher, the guy's a legend!

Similarly, why are so many Kimi fans brainwashed regarding his ability as a driver?

People only say and claim that Kimi is superhumanly fast. Has he ever done much to justify that? He has 11 wins to go with 38 DNFs in his career. The excuse is that Kimi is always unlucky, but it's just a brainwashed answer. Bad luck alone does not cause 38 DNFs with some top teams!

I'm a Schumacher fan and always have been, I'm neither brainwashed, a glory chaser or a Kimi hater. Any true Ferrari fan will be fully behind both Massa and Kimi so we can be champions again.

I am a huge Schumacher fan, but I don't hate Kimi. Although I can see why he has gotten a bad rap from Ferrari fans. He has huge seat to fill with the team and has not been living up to everyone's expectation. But in my opinion he has some of the worst luck in F1. In '05 he was clearly the fastest man on track, but w/ the McLaren's reliabilty issues, and his own bad luck was beaten by Alonso for the title. 06 was in my opinion disastorous for McLaren, and although the deal was already signed he felt like he needed to get out of there. Now he's with ferrari, and probabaly at the wrong time. Now they are having reliability issues, and the McLarens seem rock solid. He's obviosly a very talented driver, but luck and the right team play a huge role in F1.

I don't hate Kimi. I think he's very talented and has the potential to be a world champion. It's just that this year without Michael and Ross Brawn in Ferrari, they seem to be falling back, letting the McLarens have an edge over them. Plus, with Alonso AND rookie Lewis Hamilton who is very talented and amazingly too good for a rookie, Ferrari need to step up and do something.

Michael is an F1 legend and he's probably one of the best drivers (or the best) in F1 history. Plus, everyone has their own opinion.

I have always been a Schumacher fan and I am also a Riakonnen fan. My problem with Kimi is he makes too many mistakes! He is the fastest of the top four but he's fourth. I know he had mechanical problems once but the other races have been HIS errors.

My dislike for Kimi has nothing to do with Ferrari, I disliked him when he was with McLaren.

I am more impressed with Massa, he is level headed and is giving good results. Don't give me the "he has had a few seasons in the car rubbish". If Kimmi is supposed to be that good it he would clearly be out front.

He is not and is being outclassed by his team mate and newer drivers.......Hamilton.

I would be surprised if Kimi won a world championship or stayed with Ferrari for to long.

Don't get annoyed if you are a Kimi fan and don't like this answer, but its a forum and you asked the question

What do you mean by "brain washed Schumi fans", listen dude, people select their favourite stars of their own choice, and you are saying as if Schumi stands on the streets and call people to be his fans, is it like this, then where does the word "Brain Washing" comes. Schumi was a great driver and he deserves to be everyone's favourite, and who told you that Schumi fans does'nt like Kimi. you are wrong, iam a Ferrari supporter and i do like Kimi and Massa......
