This will be a good season. There are many questions to be answered:
1) Will the Ferrari be reliable enough for Kimi to win a championship? He has proven that he is fast enough.
2) Will Alonso be able to rally McClaren behind him ala Schumaker & Ferrari? Maybe Alonso is easier on the car, and that will keep them in the hunt.
3) Who really will be the 3rd team in the mix? Renault doesn't have the driver talent. BMW Sauber has Kubica and with a strong car could be there. Williams needs to give Rosberg a better car, and then he has to stop making mistakes. Maybe Honda will get it back togther as Jensen & Rubens can still be quick.

+1 One of the funniest track videos ever produced. Made all the more humorous because it actually happened!

OK guys,
He didn't "almost fall a sleep". He was watching other cars (or hot babes on stands or whatever) but he didn, nor did he say he almost fall a sleep.
Also, that image, while very funny (and true!), it's not Hakkinen next to him.

Yes, formula cars in general can be pretty comfy, even when the seat isnt yours.
I think Kimi saying he almost fell asleep is a cover-up as he was really looking down at the floor adjustment lever.

It's totally possible that the guy will be found to have sleep apnea or narcolepsy. An "inordinate amount" of daytime sleeping is not normal sleep metabolism. Perhaps too much partying, but perhaps not. AS
