RAIKKONEN: ‘I WILL DRIVE FOR FERRARI ONE DAY’

Tuesday July 10th, 2001
Rookie Kimi Raikkonen believes he will drive for the Ferrari team once he gets more experience in Formula One racing.

The 21-year old Finn, driving for the Sauber team in his debut season, has only competed in ten Grands Prix so far in 2001, but after some impressive performances at the wheel of the Ferrari-powered C20 car, Raikkonen believes he will drive for the historic Ferrari team in the future.

“I’m convinced that one day I’ll drive for Ferrari,” Raikkonen told Motorsport News. “A bit more experience and I’ll get there. Everyone in Formula One wants to drive for them, but for me it’s an ambition. Like winning the World Championship.”

Raikkonen, who moved straight from Formula Renault to Formula One, has scored seven points this year, having finished twice in fourth place and once in sixth in his debut race in Australia.

But as he gets older he needs to engage his brain for abit longer before he engages his mouth.

Bernie isn't doing anything that looks stupid in public (see Max). Bernie has built the right connections and environment that creates the perfect playground for the rich. In conclusion, Bernie isn't going anywhere. F1 isn’t losing any followers. Bernie isn’t doing anything that looks stupid in public (see Max).

I'll agree that the tension for the race win was over after Rosberg and Vettel blundered into their penalties. Still, Button and his fight with Vettel and his humiliation of (the yet again inconsistently performing Barrichello) was pretty entertaining to watch.

Vatanen is a head taller than Ecclestone so he probably never saw him. What was maybe weirdest of all was that he was in such a rush to get through the crowd to shake hands with ... Jean Todt.
