If experience has no impact on results, we can do a direct comparison:

2001+2002:
Ralf 91 points, Montoya 81 points.

2002:
Coulthard 42 points, Raikkonen 24 points.

You can't possibly say that Raikkonen is better than Coulthard, unless you take their experience and/or age into account.
And you can't possibly say that Montoya is better than Ralf, unless you take their experience into account.

Or let me put it in another way:

Montoya:
2001, first 8 races: 6 points (Williams: 28) = 21%.
2001, last 8 races: 19 points (W:43) = 44%.
2002, first 8 races: 27 points (W: 54) = 50%.
2002, last 8 races: 23 points (W: 35) = 66%.

Excuse me, but in my book points aren't the ideal measurement for driver-quality. And yes, Kimi is a much better driver than DC is.
