I have noticed that Kimi's mistakes somehow always get more easily excused. Imagine if Massa or Hamilton had made the same mistake and binned into the wall - I don't want to imagine the bashing and gloating going on here...

If Massa had hit the wall, I'd imagine sentences like "I never thought he's WDC material and above average", "I told you he can't drive without TC and is useless in the rain".
Or Hamilton - "He always chokes under pressure and will never win a WDC."

I agree with those opinions that Kimi certainly didn't lack of motivation and fought hard - kudos to him for that. But another myth, which has existed for years, like he is an IceMan, who is extremely cool and never cracks under pressure, isn't simply true. And Hamilton managed those last laps simply better, however hard Kimi tried.

Finally, Alonso (who has often been suggested to become a future Ferrari driver) would have surely managed those last laps differently. He would have brought those secure 8 points home or gone for wets (like he actually did from P3 before the last lap).
