Kimi was just never a good driver for set up, so he ended up using Massa's setup often even when it did not suit him very well just because he could not get his own setup to work any better

Ferrari themselves have admitted to gearing the car towards Massa's preference. Wouldn't they just say that Kimi couldn't set his car up for himself instead of issuing a public apology to Raikkonen for not giving him everything he needed the passed two years?
And Coulthard and Montoya both had different preferences to Raikkonen when he was at McLaren. So he was more than capable of setting up his own car. I don't think a man that holds 35 fastest laps is someone that doesn't know how to set his own car up. He just isn't great with development.
