Who is the faster driver in terms of pure speed? Kimi Raikkonen or Fernando Alonso

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/NASIRZ%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/NASIRZ%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/NASIRZ%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.jpg[/IMG]kimi-raikkonen-46752.jpg Well i Think that ,its not just the pure speed or the consistency that counts in a driver, rather its the commitment from the driver to the teams. Well both kimi and alonso have been commited to the teams by providing championship points, BUT i surely think that kimi is better than alonso in commitment because i have heard mclaren boss Ron Dennis asking apology for not providing the car expected by kimi in terms of reliability, and again kimi does not lose his attention on thinking previous race failures as alonso did ( he was very nervous after the hydraulic failure in one of his races ).

Finn also has a record of completing 62 perfect laps in Monaco. He has six fastest laps to his record. Even alonso praised KIMI for the shear driving ability. He is hailed as the next senna by most seniour racers and he drives the perfect racing lines with amazing speeds.

All together i think between KIMI VS ALONSO, i would rate Kimi as No.1 Driver, and alonso as No.2 with very close points gap.

Kimi is a fluke, Alonso is way better.

When Kimi is in the "zone", I think he is faster than Alonso. But Alonso is a more steady and reliable driver that is more consistent.

I think when Kimi retires, we will all look back and say Kimi drove his best races in a McLaren.

Alonso is a more complete driver. But Kimi is more exciting and probably quicker on a single lap.
