Q: Kimi, it is a bit of an irony that after six races the ‘fill-in’ is doing better than the actual star of the team. What do you make out of that?
Kimi Raikkonen:
Ha
Q: …but do you feel like the darling of Ferrari right now?
KR:
No! (laughs)
Q: Very recently Seb (Vettel) said that if he could choose just one team mate it would be you. But Seb is also somebody who hates to be second best so how does he cope with that exactly?
KR:
Nothinghaschanged.
Q: Ferrari started with a mission this season - to challenge for the title. But recently something always seems to happen in races that interrupts that mission. What is the main reason from Kimi Raikkonen’s point of view?
KR: Weareinafight
Q: How much have reliability issues played a part? The new Ferrari engine doesn’t seem to be the real killer…
KR:
Wehadsmallissues-butnomajortroubles.
Q: This year Ferrari wanted to close the gap to Mercedes, but currently they are the ones being threatened - by Red Bull Racing for P2 in the pecking order. Are Ferrari in a defensive situation?
KR:

Q: You speak so strongly about Ferrari winning races so it must be pretty disappointing that Ferrari has not won a single race so far in 2016…
KR:
(Silently stares)
Q: What is that level that you call upon?
KR:
Sexandicecream
Q: Ferrari’s president Sergio Marchionne is putting a lot of pressure on the team. Is that helpful?
KR:
Hekeepstalkingaboutmergers
Q: As Finns, you and Valtteri Bottas can rely on the principle of Sisu (loosely translated as a kind of stoic determination) - but lately Nico Rosberg has also claimed that this Sisu is also propelling his career…
KR:
SisuisjustaFinnishcandy...
Q: No driver triggers as many rumours about his F1 future as you - and it’s been the same now for years. Isn’t that tiresome for you?
KR: Idon’tcare
Q: …but haven’t you been surprised that suddenly Nico Rosberg has appeared in the picture, with rumours that he might change Mercedes silver for Ferrari red?
KR:
AsIsaid...
Q: But Formula One is still what you want to do?
KR:
Iwouldnotbehereotherwise.
Q: Is there a feeling of still having unfinished business in F1? You are the last Ferrari world champion so definitely no unfinished business here…
KR:
Istilltohavebusinesshere.
Q: So let’s find out what has to happen for Kimi Raikkonen to call 2016 a good season
KR:
win
Q: If you could pick one race from all the races to come that you would love to win, which one would you pick?
KR: Itdoesn’tmatter

I’m glad to see Kimi doing well this year. Been almost a decade since he was champ, and he’s pretty much proven he’s still competitive.
