Kimi beats MS (in his dreams) 
There's no way of saying, except that MS has won 11 out of 12 and would have finished 2nd in moaco if not for JPM.
MS was on Pole, he was in first, he was on the same pit strategy as KR, and he hasn't had a mechanical failure in 3 years.
MMMKay KR had him right where he wanted him.
Kimi couldn't win 2 weeks ago from pole...
So if there is any speculation about who wins smart money is on MS.

there's no way to make yourself look like more of an idiot than to start saying "so and so should have or could have won" in motor racing. the point is that they didn't.

MS has become great at winning with the slowest time possible. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...
A long time ago MS was way out in the lead, he started lapping every car in the field. In the rain, well he mis-judged something and crashed straight into the car he was about to pass (it may have been the 2nd place car). I guess he learned then, what's the point to win by several minutes and be at risk? Better to save his car and let others crash or have engine failures.

I say NO WAY because its one thing to be close to Heir (i am NOT allowed to insult MS any more do to moderaters) MS but to pass him??
Kimi did not take 3 more seconds of fuel(his pit stop was 1 second shorter than MS)...and even if he did that was 12 L not 24
he was NOT gaining either. MS was consistant in the low 1:14's
notice this also
FAST laps of race
1. Kimi Raikkonen : 1'13"780 - lap 10
2. Michael Schumacher : 1'13"783 - lap 5
KR on fumes was only .003 faster than MS when MS had MUCH more fuel
MS pitted lap 10
KR pitted lap 11
The reson I say Button had a good chance to beat Heir MS...is, If he would have started from 3rd, he qualified .370 behind MS, but also pitted 7 laps later...
he had great pace....MS knows it also
Here is a quote from DC
Jenson Button could've beaten Michael Schumacher if an FIA rule did not penalise F1 drivers for suffering engine blow-ups, David Coulthard said at Hockenheim.
The BAR-driving Englishman's high fuel load indicated he could have secured pole and his Michelin tyres were a match for Ferrari's Bridgestones, David insisted.
KR is great, but Mclaren is not ready to beat the 053 yet...not til Spa at least

What a terrific show we had from Button and Alonso. And I was very impressed by Alonso during the press conference discussing their battle for second. That was a fun race to watch.
On MS - is there any other driver who changes brake bias as regularly as MS? This guy has to be completely comfortable driving on the edge. On the other hand, our man JB did quite a job driving one-handed.
