Fernando really blew the doors off of Kimi (not to mention everyone else), not a good sign for Ferrari. I'm going to miss Michael. I admit Alonso's got talent, but he's such a big girl's blouse I can't respect him. Who can you root for this year? Overrated punks like Kimi, sons of big names from the past (Piquet, Rosberg), and talentless morons that are either paying for their seats or pandering to home-country sponsors (hello, every Japanese driver that Super Aguri puts in a car).
I usually never let testing times influence my predictions for the upcoming seasons, but that's a big gap. I guess this year we might see McLaren FINALLY return to their 1998-1999 form. Ferrari's going to miss Ross Brawn and Michael, that's for sure. I don't think Ross will take kindly to Kimi when (or if) he returns from his sabbatical. Kimi describes himself as "lazy" and doesn't like to test too much. I doubt he can give the invaluable technical feedback that Michael did as well.
