Well to start with, it isn't Kimi's luck, it is the poor reliability of the Mercedes. If Kimi was really unlucky he would have his engine failures in the race and not in practice

Alonso The Cute has a real chance of winning the title in Belgium. Raikkonen's luck will finally run out and his engine will fail duing the race


And you'll then read all sorts of beautiful Spanish words on the forums

The rest, well Toyota will move ahead of Ferrari and Pizzonia will make Frank think again about his options for next year

And if it rains, Bambino driver will park it

True enough about Kimi's engine, Jay Vee; except it isn't a Merc; it's a badged Ilmore -- and if I were M. Benz, I'd be mighty angry about the publicity I was getting for my money; even if I was only paying 19.95 Euros per engine!
I hope Alonzo is a DNF at Spa because it will make the next few races so much more exciting; still, the realist in me picks him, alas, for a podium.
You sound like you believe in Pizza man, too. And I have to give you his very good showing on very short notice. Still, I hope Nick is back in his seat soon! Frank, if he gets what he deserves, will end up next year with J.V. and J.B.!!
I guess "the Bambino" is Fisi; recent Autosport has long article explaining that he isn't as bad as his record. Sounds like you disagree sharply. But same issue has an argument that Kimi isn't all that much better than Juan Pablo, either. Not the kind of thing I find convincing, I'm afraid. In the end, the only numbers that matter are how many races you WIN; not "championships" or "points" but RACES!
