dat kimi

 

[Dibbz]

omg those kimi quotes have me in stitches.

 

[Shaneus]

"I’m not interested in what people think about me. I’m not Michael Schumacher."

Burn.

PS. I always loved his "I was taking a shit" interview. So wooden, it's hilarious.

Brundle's reaction was gold.

Were pictures of Kimi sleeping with the inflatable rubber dolphin ever released?

I read the story so many times but never saw pictures.

 

[Frawdder]

Cannot wait to get the 2012 season underway and see Kimi back on the track and hopefully back in the press conferences.

Hahahaha

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Hahahaha

So many complaints from irate ITV viewers. Ha!

 

[keit4]

So happy Webber got his race win. Shame it was down to Seb having trouble but still a win is a win. Nice way for him to lead into the winter.

LOL

Trouble = team orders?

BTW, welcome home Kimi.

Actually, in that video he's ecstatic.

New Bernie interview.

Western Europe is finished as a top Formula One racing destination and will soon host only five grand prix races, the sport's supremo Bernie Ecclestone said on Tuesday.

[Sloane]

Well, it was nice to know you, Spa! At least, we'll keep Valencia...

"I think Europe is finished. It will be a good place for tourism but little else. Europe is a thing of the past."

Sigh..
and empty grandstands are a thing of the future

lolbernie

He sure does spout a lot of shit.

 

[Sloane]

He sure does spout a lot of shit.

I wonder if the teams are okay with his BS. I mean, sure, they want the F1 to expand too, but last time I checked all teams that matter are from Europe.

 

[Psychotext]

That cunt needs to retire before he completely ruins the sport.

 

[Adamm]

Too late

 

[navanman]

More bullshit.
All the fans are in Western Europe and races times are oriented to be on or near good times
on European TV schedules.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Yes Kimi is back in F1

Also, fuck you Bernie. Europe is the heart of Formula 1

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Goddamn I love a good Kimi interview. The offseason just got that much more excruciating.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

I'm going to watch season reviews until the new season starts, going to start randomly instead of chronologically. 2005 first.

 

[marvelharvey]

That cunt needs to retire before he completely ruins the sport.

Rumour is, CVC may squeeze him out to be replaced with Stuart Rose (CEO of Marks & Spencer).

 

[Adamm]

This isnt just F1. This is M&S F1

 

[Ark]

Burnie will only be replaced by someone just as evil and ridiculous as he is, the problem is CVC.

 

[Clegg]

Stuart Rose is a very savvy businessman. Did wonders for M&S.

Not too sure how he'd do in F1 but at least he'd be better then Bernie.

Bernies views on women, Hitler and Max Mosley are the stuff of legend.

 

[Staab]

That kimi news couldn't be any awesomer, new favorite team and driver confirmed
Ice creams you better watch out, the man is back!

 

[Dead Man]

More bullshit.

Yes, but the big licensing fees are outside Europe, that's why he loves his Asian night races. Maximum euro TV audience, and maximum license fee. He doesn't have to worry about selling tickets, he already has his money. He is evil, but far from from stupid.

LRGP: Raikkonen & TBA

Status quo at the top. But 2013 should see some changes at Ferrari (Massa leaving), Red Bull (Webber leaving, possibly retiring), Mercedes (Schumacher retiring), McLaren (Hamilton leaving).

 

[navanman]

I would take a gamble on Riccardio replacing Trulli at Caterham with Sutil at Williams next year with Maldonado.

 

[Ark]

I still don't see Hamilton leaving McLaren for anywhere other than another motorsport.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

He'll do something Ayrton always planned on doing; driving for the Prancing Horse.

 

[ANDY_098]

I would take a gamble on Riccardio replacing Trulli at Caterham with Sutil at Williams next year with Maldonado.

Ricciardo to STR is more likely, besides, Trulli is contracted at Caterham until the end of next season.

If Williams decide against Barrichello then I'd imagine Sutil would be their top choice, Sutil has also been in talks with LRGP as well so I would't rule that out. Then again Sutil could still stay at FIF1, though he didn't seem very optimistic after the GP this weekend.

OMG OMGO MGOMGO MGO MGOM OMOGMO GOM GOM GOM GOM GOM GOM G


YESSSSSSSS

OMG I WAS SO BUSY I DIDN'T EVEN CHECK MY RSS FEED..

i kinda feel they will wiggle out of their trulli contract

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

OOOOOOOOHHHH MMMMMMMMYYYYY FUUUCCCKKKINNNNGGG GGGGGGGOOODDDD


I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.. I'M SO HAPPY


*cries*

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

LOL classic Kimi

he watched the last 20 laps of the Brazilian GP to see how things have changed

 

[Sleeplessnights]

i kinda feel they will wiggle out of their trulli contract

Yeah, I'm thinking the same. Maybe put Ricciardo in instead.

Status quo at the top. But 2013 should see some changes at Ferrari (Massa leaving), Red Bull (Webber leaving, possibly retiring), Mercedes (Schumacher retiring), McLaren (Hamilton leaving).

Thanks. But no thanks.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I think F1 expanding is a good thing (India is great, the NJ track looks like it could be great) but getting rid of the classic, great Euro tracks for tracks like Korea/Bahrain is an awful idea if it means Valencia stays when others go.

Silverstone, Monza, Spa, Catalunya, Monaco, Nurburgring are the six from Europe I'd want to be in the calendar every single year personally.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

It's official, Kimi is back next year with Lotus:

Wise words from Kimi

lol I've read those quotes so many times and I still laugh when I read them

Kimi is so boss.

Yes he is..


Iceman is back.. best news of the decade

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Great words from Alesi

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/96582

"Kimi has more natural speed than just about anyone who has ever raced a Grand Prix car, and if he's coming back it's because he wants to do it, he misses F1, and he believes he can do well.

"F1 teams need a driver who will consistently set laptimes that are 100 per cent on the edge," he said. "That is what a driver of Kimi's caliber can do, to dance on the edge and never fall off. From that, the engineers get a baseline.

I expect Kimi will be a very valuable tool indeed. But I don't expect a lot of talking outside the car! I'm sure he hasn't changed a bit."

 

[Xun]

He'll do something Ayrton always planned on doing; driving for the Prancing Horse.

I really don't see him doing that, but who knows?

Like Ark said I don't see him leaving McLaren for a long time.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

I can't wait to see Kimi's new helmet ^_^


I need to stop posting.. I'll go for a run lol

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Last post I promise.. for the next hour at least

 

[NHale]

i kinda feel they will wiggle out of their trulli contract

Tony Fernandes gave an interview yesterday where he said Trulli was under contract "for now". That to me is the death sentence and he will be replaced in a couple of weeks.

 

[Psychotext]

I'm a little creeped out by Myclonic. Can't wait for some of the in race reactions regarding Kimi.

Wouldn't be even slightly suprised, Trulli's looked bored all season...
