^ I kinda figured that would happen... didn't think it would have been that soon though. Good to see he was so close to Sordo's time after the first stage. Can't wait for the WRC season to kick off.

Go Kimi!

 

At least he is pushing hard, something he stopped doing in F1

 

give him a credit. Maybe next year he will be a real threat in WRC. Not like Ken.... Also at least he is Finn.
That is my forecast

 

I think he will score points this season, maybe not a lot, but he will score

 

Agreed. Nothing more boring that watch a driver being bored.

 

He did pretty well after Philipe got hurt in a crappy car. Just ask Fischicella.

 

That just proved that F1 can still be fun for him, he just needs motivation.

 

Here is an update on the Artic rally http://www.rallybuzz.com/arctic-rally-2010-results/


Kimi did very well for hitting a tree, his times keep improving. It will be nice to see his improvements all year. And of course props to Sordo for winning the event.

 

Going to have to get used to seeing Kimi crashing. If he makes it to the finish of events it will be down the order, and very sadly, behind MAthew Wilson (slowest'factory' driver in WRC).

He'll be good on tarmac, but I expect him to crash more than finish in 2010.

 

If he finishes a Tarmac race behind Wilson, i will probably cry a little bit

 

Here is another article about the Arctic rally http://www.rallybuzz.com/raikkonen-a...y-2010-report/

 

Did anyone else notice that Kimi seems to be more vocal than when he was in F1. Back then it was impossible to get a full sentence out of him

 

He was trying to learn english when he raced for Sauber.

McLaren doesnt like their drivers to talk unless they duplicate what Ron Dennis says.

Ferrari didnt want him to open his mouth at all as he's not PC in the way that the Italian overlords wanted him to be. (do you ever hear anything out of Massa's mouth that isnt "we are great, I love everybody, especially when we're loosing cause we have the prancing pony on our cars!!! Woot Woot!!!! Love ya' boys!")


So this could just be a case of apples to oranges comparison.

 

Or Ron Dennis agrees with what Kimi says
