It is not the car or team that matters, it is the driver alongwith the car/team. Raikonnen is no match for the driving abilities and brains of Schumi. I do not think Kimi can beat Schumacher

If Michael retires, it'll be a big loss for Ferrari not just because of his driving ability, but also of his engineering input/feedback and team building ability. I don't see Kimi playing a role like that at McLaren, and I don't think he would be capable of that at Ferrari anytime soon.
It'll probably take a while for Kimi to get used to the car, and therefore Michael will be leading points-wise in the early part of the season...which means Kimi will have no choice but play the second fiddle for the rest of the season.
I just wonder...will Kimi be blowing up Ferrari engines like he has done with Mercedes? Ferrari engine blowing up??!! Unthinkable!!

Well, wait til Monza to see what Shumacher does (he's announcing either retirement or another year at Ferrari). Personally it would be a mistake for Ferrari to have both there, it would end up like Prost/Mansell in 1990 (inner turmoil) or Senna/Prost at McLaren (internal combustion!) Ferrari survive on team orders, always have done. Hypothetically if they by some miracle let them both off the leash I'm sitting on the fence and saying it'll be 50-50, Shumachers experience & talent and Raikkonens speed will probably even themselves out... And if Ferrari keep their reliability (which even the diehard fans of other teams have got to admit is pretty damn good) Alonso, Button & Co won't get a look in and back to boring f1 (ok, even MORE boring f1). Personally, if Schumacher retires, there is going to be one hell of a gap to fill and I don't see anyone to fill it yet.

I think no..And in F1 Istanbul race, Kimi Raikonnen couldn't continue to the race at the beginning of it. Schumacher is the third. I think Schumacher has more experience and he is better then Kimi.

Yes he can. He is a cool driver with courage. Unfortunately the McLaren Mercedes is a bit weak and slow for him. I wish to see him with tifosi colors. And perhaps if Schumi is still there (a reputation goes from the horses mouth (Bernie) is that Schumi will quit at the end of this season) he may be motivated. I prefer Massa and Kimi in Ferrari.

HELL Y-E-S !!!
Kimi is a blazing fast driver and he'll take on Micheal well. Look at Felipe, who's seriously improved since he moved to Ferrari and he beat Micheal at Istanbul.
Now, Felipe or Kimi, who's faster. Obviously its Kimi.
Now imagine Kimi in a Ferrari and compare what he'll do compared to Felipe. And Felipe is competing favourably with Micheal. Kimi will dust Micheal for sure.

That's going to be imposible.
Only way Kimi goes to Ferrari is when Michael retires.

Yes... I love Schumi but he's not invincible... U never really have to wonder how damaging Raikonnen could be with the right machinery!!!

Yup, Schumi would be getting old and Raikonnen would be nearing his peak unless of course of divine intervention (team orders of course)
