Heikki’s one of my favourite drivers :). I think he’s fairly good, although not top calibre. He was good at Renault, but McLaren did not suit him apparently. It might have been the car, it might have been the atmosphere (I’m thinking Ron Dennis in particular), or it might have been Lewis being too dominant – it might have been all three reasons to some extent. I’m leaning towards the first two. This year he’s fantastic in the Lotus, and his firefighter skills have made him even cooler than he was to begin with.

What did Heikki actually do whey wrong at Mclaren Mercedes???
Mercedes wanted no 1 on their car before they bought Brawn GP.
So they did a deal with Mclaren & paid Buttons wages.
Mclaren drop mercedes in 2015.
The question is who will partner Hamilton, will it be a return
for Heikki now he is more developed as a driver. Or will Vodafone
put up the money for a return of a WDC in Kimi Raikkenen?

I think at Mclaren he was outshined a lot in a team where he’d been thrown in at the deep end, as in a big team – not every driver settles into that as well as Hamilton. he was also going into it obviously knowing he was supposed to be a number 2 driver, so he was at a disadvantage from the start, at least psychologically anyway.

This year at Lotus i’m sure he will have learnt a lot being the other end of the field and will be twice the driver he was last year.
