Hot Rod or Hot Dog?
- Published on Mar 27th, 2012 by Benson Jammichello Badger GP
This year sees a reworking of the Hot Rod or Hot Dog feature. Instead of looking in detail at all of the grid, we'll be selecting drivers who we think deserve recognition for strong performances and those who, quite frankly, should be ashamed of themselves.
Kimi Raikkonen
While Michael Schumacher's comeback took two seasons to get into gear, Kimi Raikkonen's is already in full swing after two races. The 2007 champ was lightning fast in qualifying and would have lined up fifth - ahead of Vettel's Red Bull and Alonso's Ferrari - but for a gearbox-inflicted grid penalty.
During the race he climbed back from whence he came to fifth position, looking a little steadier in race conditions than he did in Australia. That suggests there's more to come from Raikkonen, which should have pretty much every driver on the grid worried - when he's on it and the car is working there's pretty much no-one faster.
What's more Kimi scored the 36th fastest race lap of his career. The Finn is third in the all-time standings, behind only Schumacher and Prost. It goes some way to explaining why Kimi is often dubbed the fastest man on the planet.

Massa Bashing: Round 3 Badger GP
`If F1 is a circus, we are thankful to Ferrari for sending clowns'.
I think Bernie's remark couldn't be more accurate concerning a certain Brazilian driver. And well, overall, this season besides the fluke of Malaysia, Ferrari has been a joke.
