In the way that there was a good seat being taken by an unenthusiastic driver. And that I was happy to not have to hear his dull voice at press conferences. I used to be a huge Kimi fan but his attitude the last season in F1 disgusted me and Massa beating him just says it all. That should have never happened to a guy with Kimi talent. I've heard all the conspiracy theories and excuses for him. I don't buy them. He was just lazy but he seemed to regain some of his old form in the last part of 2009. I hope he will return as the Kimi I loved at McLaren.

To be honest I don't buy any of the reasons you have given and think they are judgements based on tabloid and forum hearsay. None of us know what its like to drive for a team where the emotional focus is on the other driver with the expectation to perform knowing you are being pushed out at the end of the year. I'm pretty sure he would love to not give interviews too and spare you the time. I think we'll agree to disagree on this one!
