If I were to venture a guess, I'd say Kimi is tired of the circus that is F1.

He is one person I could see waking up one day and saying "I'm done" and just walking away..........easy Sir A. Wayne, don't hit the Alonso Speed Dial button on your phone just yet.

I agree, but did he lose his humanity along with his patience for the circus? Maybe it's just that I'm a parent, but I can't imagine any scenario where I would keep walking.

Maybe that woman shouldnt let her kid run wild through a crowd of people?

If you want to get technical, the woman's arm and folder knocked the kid down. And then she continued running after Kimi looking for an autograph leaving her kid lying on the ground. Great parent.

It's sort of a deceptive video and I don't think it was appropriate for whoever took it to post it all over the web to make it look like Kimi has started beating up little kids, lol. I don't think he could see the kid until well after the kid got knocked over (under the clip board she shoved in his face), also it was more the mother that took the kid out with the clip board. In hindsight he probably should have gone back up and made sure they were okay, but the mother was still in his face until he pointed back, like hey you just knocked over your kid. hmmmm..... this is starting to sound familiar



I personally do think he's sick of F1, and has been for a while. I think he likes the racing, and the level of competition, but not all the BS that goes along with it. I think he'd be happy to leave, but he'd still take up some other form of motorsport, like Rallying, Sportcars, DTM, etc.

That's a fairly minor situation. The mother was more at fault by trying to get the autograph. Watch the vid carefully. Kimi tells her (and then points) to her kid.

In all fairness to Kimi, I think what the lady was holding in her hand was blocking his view of the child. I do not think he even noticed what happened

Yes, but the truly important question is WWAD....What Would Alonso Do?

early85944

He would blame everyone and everything around him

I though one of the comments under the video was pretty funny (context, after silverstone)-

"Massa would have knocked the little girl over but he slipped on a puddle... "

fast_freddy

You sure about that? Massa's smaller than the little girl, he would have bounced right off her.

MTosi

Or we could find out this whole thing was a misunderstanding between team mates, and that the little kid who got knocked over actually was Massa....

Sean F

i think kimi should be docked 10 positions on the grid

Kind of looks to me link the Mother knocked her own kid over and wasn't the least bit concerned.

MiniDHinkle

Exactly what I thought.
