How Rossi highlights Raikkonen's shortcomings

While Valentino Rossi continues to fight through adversity to remain a MotoGP title candidate, Kimi Raikkonen appears more and more of a hanger-on in Formula 1. The difference between the two veterans is stark

They are both popular within their chosen profession, especially Rossi. And, being born in 1979, they are very much in the twilight of their careers.
