Kimi is getting funnier...

Check out this interview of Kimi on Autosport www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/57527


"On one occasion - just about ten laps before the end the race - I almost fell asleep! I got distracted, my concentration levels dropped a bit and I locked the wheels and took Turn Three slightly too wide: even without radio I knew that they were saying: 'Kimi, wake up!' "

Maybe lots of Redbull before the race will keep him awake for 90 mins :)

I had read somewhere that Kimi was famous for being a party animal.... but that upon joining Ferrari he was told to cool it down!
He might be having Vodka withdrawals.

Reminds me of driving the front straight and Turn 1/Turn2 at Fontana in a stock 944. :shock: :cry: G@d I miss that car.

Dan, I didn t know you were a party animal.
You mean you also had Vodka withdrawals on Sunday ...
:)

I m sure you will stay awake in the new car this year trying to keep the tail planted.

:cry: :cry: :cry: Sorry to say, I won't make it this year to Fontana. Really sorry. I was hoping the newly found 30 to 40-HP Kinninger located in the Black Pearl would help me keep up with the pack a little better, too. 8)

Oh well, there's always Spring Mountain and Buttonwillow (and with Buttonwillow slated for the cooler month of December, my chances of attending are ... welll let's just say better than good). Two of my favorite tracks. 8)

Y'all behave yourselves at Fontana :wink:
