You missed the "right 130 opens up" before the jump?

Nothing says batsh@t crazy like a big jump at high speed, in the snow, between two rows of big trees. I love it.

Last season, he was on record saying that the only way he would race in F1 again, is if his contract allowed him to drive WRC as well....
WRC is what he wants to do with his life now.

Very true. They are making a decision some time in mid (F1) season and Red Bull with Vettel as his team mate would be the team but based on Kimi's comments, he doesn't want back a bit.
Of course this WRC season won't be very successful since he has no experience but he truly is enjoying what he's doing and the atmosphere, less politics etc. in WRC of course suits him much better than F1 world, I think racing in US would be the same for him as it's much more laid back here.
Some pics, does it look like something you'd enjoy? I think so!
