stuff like this is why im glad kimis staying in f1 for a while longer
PRESS CONFERENCE
Q: Kimi, if we could start with you please. You’ve been generating a few column inches this past week. Can you just talk us through what happened and why you’re on the move next year?
Kimi RÄIKKÖNEN: I guess you know what happened. I don’t know what else you want to know. This is what happened. As we’ve said many times before, it’s not up to me, it’s not my decision in the end. Anything after that is obviously my decision but this is the outcome. At least we have an outcome.
Q: You say it wasn’t your decision to leave Ferrari, but it was your decision to go back to Sauber, so just talk us through why you’re doing that?
KR: Why not.
Q: What is it about the team? On current form there is quite a performance differential between Ferrari and Sauber, so what have you been told…
KR: Yeah, but then there’s a lot of differences between all the cars, you know. If you take other teams, there are not many cars, if you take this year, that are on the same level. That’s how it has always been. I mean, see what happens in the future so…
Q: But, Kimi, what have you been told about the performance? Tell us why you want to go back to Sauber?
KR: Because I want to. Why do you try to make it so complicated? I don’t know anything more than you guys, purely where they have been finishing. Obviously I don’t know what will happen next year, nobody knows what will happen next year when it comes to the speeds of the cars and the teams and obviously we can always guess but we will see what we can do. Obviously I have my reasons and that’s enough for me. I don’t really care what others think and as long as I’m happy with my own reasons, it’s enough for me.
Q: And you’re still passionate about racing? The fire…
KR: No, I’m not actually. Just by pure head games for you guys I happened to sign and I’m going to spend two years there just not being happy.
Well, Kimi, thanks for the insight.
KR: No worries.

You left out the best part.
Q: “Will you help Vettel win the championship this year?”
Kimi: “Well, I can’t drive both cars.”
Around 6:20 in the video.

Just reading all of this has brought me to tears of laughter. I don’t think I can make it through watching the video without ROFLMAO.
...and I really should vacuum first.

Kim i clearly subscribes to the same school of thought as me: ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Trouble is that tends to be most athlete/sports interviews

i think thats coz most people watching are casuals
the questions arent for the fans that really follow the sports... they’re for the masses just watching the game/race/whatever for light entertainment and watercooler talks the following day
damn that sounded snobbish

Nah, its more like the reporters are trying to get juicy details out of the athlete or coach, but nobody gives it to them because they'd get fired. Also they aren't getting anything out of it. Leads to the interviews being really boring.

Yeah they just want kimi to cuss out ferrari or trap him into blaming either sauber's cars or their drivers. If the cars are competitive, its the drivers fault. If they aren't, its the teams
