The bias of the administrators of this site is pretty clear to all of us… so there goes your argument

Agree in part with you ,,,

Lewis has acheived a lot but why do we fail to see that he got the best car from the start of his career…

No other driver was that lucky ,,,

F1 is so competetive and there are so many good drivers but they dont g et the silver spoon (or a silver car for that matter) from the very beginnings of their career..

Button showed what anyone can do if the car is superior… Lewis on the other hand botched his chances by making mistakes in his first and even the second season .. you could literally see nerves on him when he was driving in Brazil last year for eth ch’ship… however he got lucky because of Glock.

Lewis may be good but certainly not Great !

Okay, listen to Hamper. Count the votes for Kimi that have come from the Orkut community and bunch of other fansites. Then you can deduct them from the total. This way, we’d only be left with votes that Kimi would’ve got if his fans had not known about the poll. OMG! I am turning into a dictator

@Keith: Oh come on.. Even my comments are being moderated now!! I am a regular here. Except for a couple of tiffs with MP4 guy, I am largely innocuous. And I never abuse anyone, Do I?

Plus, it was me who pointed out how the poll has been rigged.

And you moderate my comments!!!!

listen mate,

The negative comments which you are getting is more to do with you imposing your blind fanaticism on kimi fans where as there is also your identity in question.

What comments in KR community? I haven’t posted any. All I can see there is some guy called “Ivan” trying to single-handedly take on the 30,000 strong community. And trust me, I am NOT Ivan (I read your post there), it is somebody else, some regular user here for sure, but not me. I used to be active there before, but I follow F1 on F1Fanatic now.

I have no grouse against what you all do in your community. That is why I never posted anything there. I care for the orderliness and high standards of this website alone.

You seem like a sane fellow. I am glad that you haven’t resorted to personal comments unlike some of the other members in the community, (eg: Shankar, below).

I dont understand why everyone is speaking about deleting votes??

I liked raikkonen.. and I liked the way he drove during 2009 season.. so I voted..and so did 1415 persons… How can someone delete our votes??? we all liked the way raikkonen drove…

may be some might have liked jenson..and some hamilton… in the same way we liked the way raikkonen drove…

Now even i can say lewis or jenson or badoer or whoever… and they dont deserve the votes they managed… so will the mods or owners delete the votes??

Kimi raikkonen did miracle with that mediocre..even worst ferrari….

Since button won the championship it is not that he should be the best driver of the year…

My vote goes to Iceman…. in my list second would be hamilton..and 3rd vettel….

and I consider hamilton 2nd best and not first because, he had a better car than kimi for almost half season yet finished only 1 point ahead… and liegate scandal was a shame….

Well, Keith, your audience has cast its vote, rather decisively. I agree w/ the 38% of the audience that voted for Kimi. He performed miracles in that very mediocre Ferrari. I would say Lewis was a close second and Vettel third.

But of course the Brittish media will rate Button as the best driver (as you and James Allen did), yet more proof of ethnic bias. The facts simply do not support this view.
