Default World's fastest gorilla! (open wheel racing content)

OK, little quiz from a last weekend speedboat poker run:

Who is the (light brown) Gorilla?

Nope.

First hint:

The guy in the light brown gorilla suit arguably is the world fastest...

You guys should've know since it was me asking!

There was a speedboat poker run in Finland last weekend. Kimi's team did the whole "race" with Gorilla outfits. They didn't finish on top of the charts but they did win the best outfit gategory!

Gotta love the guy, with all the "corporate puppet" attitude that's required nowadays in F1, I like to see someone acting more like the "good ol' days" drivers did and being not so serious all the time.

I thought the poker run was in Miami. Thus the JPM guess. Finland looks warm and sunny.

Johnny Mo was at Indy finishing second in the Brickyard.

As for Kimi, he does seem to have fun away from the track more than any other driver...now is that a Lapin Kulta in his hand?!?
