Yeah, that was too bad for Kimi Raikkonen, since it was his last race at Ferrai. It's really sad to see him go and let Alonso take his place, but that was whomever's idea, not mine. I personally have added Kobayashi to my favorite drivers list, and I'd probably agree with you that he drives like Michael Schumacher.
At most, I probably considered the race to be a little boring, and having not many exciting parts in it, but that's my opinion.
