Wow what an accurate transcipt!

Flying Finn

Very true!

BTW, I'm working with my "Kimi talk" and it's almost there, trust me next time we meet at track, I'l be doing it!

Ever since Hakkinen I've been a huge fan of the minamilistic Finnish style of dialogue! Us "strong, silent (and mumbling) types" must unite!

+1. Truer words have not been spoken. We need look no further than the grid... Trulli, great qualifier, not so great racer, Ralf, Button. You could put Massa in that category.

pole position

He got his ride based on driving abilities not for US Reality TV mindless babbling.....and I am sure Marlboro does not need a voice to be heard if you think he has sponsor obligations.

IMO, both drivers, FA or KR are good but not exceptional "catching the worlds attention "drivers like Senna , Prost or MS. But I bet that KR is a lot more fun to have a beer with than the Spaniard.

Kimi, talks like that because his ***** are too big, so he has to sit on them for the interview , this pressure is too much to bear and answer BS questions .

Alonso's are detachable , so his monologue can be lengthy and clear ....
Lewis's own hasn't dropped yet..

I have spoken to JJ lehto at length , sebring 98 , he is pretty reasonable with the conversation and is one of my favorite drivers , but he is no where near the blast Sandro Nannini is.

I am laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes.

^+1!

+1 One of my pet peeves (although this problem of mine is growing bigger every interview I see) is the drivers that have to mention every friggin sponsor they ever had before they can say anything!

"So Jimmy-Bob, great race, how was car handling during the race?"

"Well Jack, the Castrol Jack-Daniels Sunoco Home Depot Lowes Billy's B-B-Q Kellog's Viagra Boar's Head Ham Cevrolet GM monaco performed very well, and our crew, crew chief, their wives and childen, my family and friends really helped me a lot."

I much rather listen Kimi's interview than those who have to go on and on about their sponsors, team, friends etc.



+1 Regarding J.J. very nice guy and don't mind talking. Another cool Finn, Keke Rosberg is another thing, not because he is rude but seeing him sitting, smoking a huge cigar is kinda intimidating than i.e. J.J.
They once were in a same restaurant and while talking with J.J. was easy & fun, even approaching Keke seemed like it was out of the question...

Oh my.... It only gets "better."

This guy will never be WC or even fight for it. Say what you want about the tire change. If he wants to be WC he should be working with the team constantly to make changes and get the car right. Already he's writing off the season. If I were team principle I'd be writing off the driver and looking for a new one.

Well Q3 is over and kimi had his xtra 50 bhp and was still slower than massa (finn) with massa's engine now 2 q sessions old . hamilton did well, alonso's car looked like it had problems.. massa and hamilton into the ist corner , i can feel the tension already, but to lewis it is just another day as L. hamilton , these guys have their work cut out for them with this Kid.

Not even a drunken Finn would miss the race to the first corner on sunday
Q3 was as intense as i have seen this new format , i miss schumacher so much

Alonso's car?? So if he does well it's his driving and if he does poorly it's the car.....

Can't wait for the race. What do you think the running order is after the first corner?

A.Wayne

Err, ahem , his car stopped on course , the report was the car was not 100%, due to overnite damage ,that's speed's report not mine,

Massa , hamilton , alonso , kimi

Ray S

I'll go Masa, Hamilton, Kimi, Alonso unless there is contact.

There is a ton of pressure on this start. I think they'll all hold.
