Why I love Kimi Raikonnen....
4 Nov 2012 03:19 pmCan I just record how much I love Kimi Raikonnen. S2C - if you are reading this and don't want to know why, as it would be a spoiler for the result of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, read no further....

Firstly when the people on the team radio try to give him car information, and just how he should proceed now that he is in the lead, he says "Go away and stop bothering me - I know what I am doing here!" Followed, when they were discussing making sure he kept all four tyres equal whilst behind the safety car, by "Yes, yes, yes, I know all about having four tyres...."
Then he has just been asked for his feelings as he stood on the podium for the first time since he came back to F1 after 2 years rallying... "Not much really. Last time I was here I was given shit for not smiling enough - probably still not smiling enough for you."
DC tried again only to get "OK I'm happy, but it's nothing to jump around about. I'm just happy for the team." DC gave up trying to get wild enthusiasm after that.
