Interesting read on F1 when TC was legal and Kimi needed experience at Monaco.

"Kimi arrived at Monaco in just that situation in 2001, unlike most other F1 drivers. His teammate, Nick Heidfeld, raced there in F3, F3000 and in F1 with the Prost GP team a year earlier. So he knew his way around. The bottom line is that Kimi had to get to know the track. And quickly."

Well of course he wouldn't need it, he knows what he's doing and would probably prefer to just be left alone.

Wow that is mindboggling!

I love how Kimi's only quote throughout the whole article is.... "OK".

Holy crap. Kimi is a monster.

"You do know that the V10 power of this car is really brutal. With no traction control you could easily give it too much power and spin out into the harbor"

"Okay."

I love this guy. An absolutely capable racing driver.

“I asked him after the race ‘what do you think? Your first ever GP and in the points?’, and he looked to me without any expression in his face and replied ‘another 5 to beat’”, concludes Jacky.

Thats Kimi!
