Se il Nostro campione si vuole divertire cambiando ruoli e nomi ? non è un grave problema . Siamo qui per visionare i risultati in WRC ..il resto ? non è così interessante .

Kimi is a Finn like I am. Kimi might be monotonius but that's how we Finns are. Not very open minded. But why is he driving then? He loves the sport but hates everything around it. The sad thing in sports nowadays (actually in every sport)is that it is all business. No room for individuals. Sponsors want machines who can make big profits. Big profits for them, that is. So what if James Hunt smoked two packets of cigarettes a day, drank a lot and dated beautiful girls? He was a person one of a kind, compared eg. to Michael Schumacher (who is a great champion, no doubt of that). That time it was possible but not now. Sad. I want to admire a person not only his achievements. regards to you anyway, lee So what would you prefer? Only statistic and no enthusiasm, feelings shown or tabloid headlines? Hi Suzy,

I understand Kimi and now (2009) he is a World Champion also. Kimi is a Finn like I am. Kimi might be monotonius but that’s how we Finns are. Not very open minded. But why is he driving then? He loves the sport but hates everything around it.

So what would you prefer? Only statistic and no enthusiasm, feelings shown or tabloid headlines?

Kimi (and fans of his Hunt-admiration) may find it cool to be his own man and do what he wants but maybe that's why he hasn't won a title yet? He sure does have the talent and maybe with a bit more dedication he would be more successful. OK, he says he doesn't mind if he doesn't win a title, for him the main thing is to enjoy himself. I wish he would re-think this attitude. I mean he is paid a lot to care a bit more if he will win a title or not. The team expects him to care, even if that means sometimes you have to make sacrifices and doesn't enjoy yourself so much. I'm sure Schumacher didn't always enjoy himself and it wasn't all just fun for him. There is a saying that in sports the one wins who wants it the most. Maybe the problem with Kimi that he doesn't want it enough? Partying, enjoying himself is more important for him than success? As I said, you may find it cool and those more dedicated, hard-working drivers "boring" but I think it's kind of betraying your team, the people who work hard for you, when you don't give everything you could. And one more thing: Kimi may admire Hunt and maybe wants to be like him but I find the comparation a bit laughable, to be honest when I think of Kimi's monotonous, boring speach etc. The fact he likes partying won't make him a "new Hunt".

There's a lot more to his life than what we see. Then again, that's true of most F1 drivers nowadays. We hear of the occasional fun drivers like Kimi, Montoya, or even Schumi has!
