That said, I wouldn't put either Bottas or Maldonado anywhere near my top 10.

I pay enough attention and as we've said, stats are far from the whole story. Even 9-5, the 'seasoned' (ha, ha
) professional against the rookie - not really that much to write home about. I know you insist on defending the guy and I admire your determination, but I'm not about to change my mind. If he turns it on in a straight fight with Romain next season - then I'll be impressed - but I'm not holding my breath.....

Probably so, but one would expect that to be substantially financially motivated. Personally I'd doubt that Raikkonen will be in F1 in 2015 - I think his 'interest' will wane again.
