So hopefully Massa has "some problems" for the rest of the season.







Sorry :innocent:

Raikkonen: "Victory is the only objective"

Singapore, 24th September - The most important thing is to win again. The situation in the Championship is what it is and it doesn't depend anymore only on my results, but of my competitors' results. In theory it's not over yet, but I don't have it under control anymore.

Last year, in the second part of the season, we had a great set up for the car and I was able to win many races. It was much more difficult this year. Especially as far as the tyre temperature is concerned. When the temperature is right, the car is very competitive. We'll give it our best at Singapore, so that we can fight for the win, which still remains the main objective. We have to give it all in these four races and then we'll see what's going to happen. I've said it many times: victory is the only objective, the essence of motor racing. I'm not just here for driving, but I want to win.

Monza was a bad weekend for me, but afterwards we had a good test session at Mugello. The car had a very good set up in the last two races on the dry track and we've tested some new solutions, which will improve the performance. Last week I spent a day with the simulator at the CRF (Fiat Research Centre) at Turin, where I got an idea of the track, where we're going to race at the weekend.

I arrived at Singapore today, after one day at Abu Dhabi, where I took part in some promotional events with our partners Mubadala and Etihad Airways. I can't wait to get back on the track, because I love new challenges: since we've known the Championship's race calendar, I've been waiting for 28th September. Of course when I think of the results I had this year on street circuits, I shouldn't be too optimistic, but I still like to race on this kind of track: it's pure emotion, when you find the right set up for the single-seater and race between the walls. I don't think that it will be a big problem that we race at night. They've done it already with motorbikes and it was a great experience. I'm someone who likes to sleep late. My body will adapt perfectly fine to this unusual time of day.

In the end it's not important when the race starts. When you put on your helmet and go out to the starting grid, you've such a high adrenaline level, that you forget everything else and you just think about giving it everything for the whole race.

They say that it rains every evening at Singapore. This shouldn't worry us too much, because everybody will race under the same condition. I think that we'll have the possibility to win in the four outstanding races and I will give it my all to make it and to help the Team to reach its goals.

Yesterday Kimi was at Tag Heuer Singapore for a promo event and one girl from the Official Kimi Räikkönen forum was lucky enough to see him very close. She shared her pics and some thoughts and her opinion about Kimi.

He looks absolutely cool,
and of cos, HANDSOME! *jaws drop*

He is simply charming; not as media shy as i thought he will be. Not really giving one word answers to the questions asked. He actually talked quite a bit; but maybe he was with someone familiar (the one seated next to him is the CEO of Tag Hauer SA).

He answered straight to the points and looked you (rather the reporters asking the questions) straight in the eyes. How i wished I was the reporter then.

I think only one camera man or lighting crew manage to sneak next to him to take a photo (sneaky one). And how i wish i was the soundman also, get to touch his collar / chest to put on his mike

I was and is still on a high after seeing him so close in person. And he is actually quite tall, and unbelieveably handsome.
:wub: :wub: :wub: I'm envy with green...............:yes:

Eddie Jordan discounts anti-Hamilton conspiracy (He has right IMO :yes:)

Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan has called for calm amid anti-McLaren conspiracy theories involving Lewis Hamilton's championship challenge.

The Bus Stop chicane controversy breathed new life into claims that the FIA favours Ferrari, particularly when McLaren and Hamilton are involved.

But Irishman Jordan, who left Formula One after he sold his eponymous team four years ago, believes critique of F1's governing FIA does not need to be so hysterical.

While admitting that Hamilton was "hard done by" to be penalised at Spa-Francorchamps earlier this month, Jordan told Setanta: "It has to be borne in mind that this is the fifth time that he's (had) some form of penalty this year and, being perfectly honest, all previous four were clear-cut cases against him."

"If I was his team boss, I'd call him aside and say: 'Lewis, you're the best person in the car. Be very calm, be confident in your own ability but you don't need to do things you don't have to do'."


Jordan says he does not subscribe to the anti-Hamilton conspiracy theories.

"If you take the situation where he blocked somebody (in qualifying), it was clear. He paid the penalty. If you don't turn up on time, you pay the fine. In Montreal, he ran into the back of Raikkonen going through a red light, so that was clear too," he said.

"We must not get carried away with 'They have it in for us'. It's the easiest form of defeat in my view. We must make sure we are not circumventing rules to make sure he wins it."

"He is great but he needs to take a little bit of stock now and again and bring a little bit of humility to his form,"
Jordan added.
 
OMG!!!! Hanna!!! Prepare yourself!!!! You'll faint.... (I just picked myself from the floor and now share this amazingly, breath-takingly beautiful extra cute-gorgeous pic of Kimi from yesterday...)

wow, I'm really happy that you feel the same....:cheeky:

I'm glad that you are honest... I feel the exact same way about Kimi. They are 2 different type of men with Michael though. Both are sexy and gorgeous in their type IMO.
 
LOOOL doesn't Heikki look like an OWL here???? :lmao: :toofunny:

I've collected some funny quotes from the pilots. They are way tooooo funny!!! :lmao:

After Mika Häkkinen won the world championship: I try to behave arrogantly but I just don't succeed...

In a German Tv show the interviewer asked Michael Schumacher: I was wondering what the hell a man can do during sex with such huge chin?
Michael's answer: The huge chin isn't a problem but a big nose... :)

Lewis Hamilton's answer whether he used to meet Kimi in a hotel's bar or not: I don't drink any alcohol, but if I were to visit a hotel's bar I'd find him there definitely.

Bernie Ecclestone: I like to travel to Japan. Everybody is as little as I am. :hysterical:

David Coulthard about Mika's retirement: I have had Mika as a team-mate for longer time than I dated so long with any of my girlfriends. Isn't it strange? :D

Schumi: It is not a coincidence that they call F1 a circus. The only question left is: where are the monkeys? :cheeky:

David Coulthard's funny statement about Juan-Pablo Montoya: He's so cute, so little like a sweet Teddy bear.

Flavio Briatore: I do not dream about drivers but only about women.

One banner for Eddie Irvine during the Spain GP in 2002: Eddie, I'm pregnant!

Kimi: A perfect lap? Better than sex... :wub:

Ricardo Zonta about his first overtake in F1: The best was when I managed to overtake Schumacher. It was extremely easy! Then I realised that it was his in-lap... :D

Lewis Hamilton to the question that would he like to congratulate to Nick Heidfeld for his 32nd birthday: Really? Is he that old?

Alex Wurz about all of his 3 children was born earlier than expected: All the 3 jumped at the start but they didn't get any penalties. :hysterical:

Gerhard Berger about why Kubica is so motivated: He knows it really well that if he's slow then immiediately has to go back to Poland to drive a tractor.

Giancarlo Fisichella whether he would miss Fernando Alonso or not: Why on Earth? He is not my girlfriend!

Michael Schumacher about in what kind of thing his brother is better than him: In the crossword game.

David Coulthard about how is it like to drive in Malaysia: It's like you do some physical jerks in the sauna. And I can't think about anything else but sex, that you can do in sauna. :cheeky: (So is it the main thing why Finns like sauna that much??? :blush:)

Schumi about does he like to have sex before races: Yeah, it's good for me. By choice I could do it the whole night. But, about the quality you should ask my wife. :D
 
^Woow the track loos amazing! I can't wait for SUnday......!!!!!!!
 
The first practice session is over, the results don't show the true potential... Because Kimi was .400 faster in his last flying lap than Hamster but he went to the pits after making a small mistake in the final turn.
Anyways, it's looking good so far. Let's pray that this form remains (or he could even improve).:angel:

and the circuit looks extremely beautiful from bird's eye! :yes::yes::yes::yes:

I don't know. :unsure: It seems at 1st practice they were faster, it's true for Kimi. I don't have his quote yet regarding the 2 sessions but I've heard from someone that he said they tried something else during the 2nd session and it wasn't that good and they didn't have time to change it. I hope it's true.

Cool pic! Looks like they are having a great time and the mood is looking friendly and calm! Keep it up guys!:)

Edit:
Here it is:
Ferrarin Kimi Räikköstä ei perjantain harjoituksissa haitannut lainkaan se, että Singaporen F1-radalla ajetaan auringonvalon sijaan keinovalossa.
- Ei se oikeastaan erilaista ole. Valot ovat sen verran hyvät, ettei sitä edes huomaa, Kimi totesi MTV3:lle.
Räikkönen oli ensimmäisen harjoituksen kolmas, muttei ehtinyt ajamaan harjoituksen loppuhetkillä aloittamaansa nopeinta kierrostaan maaliin asti.
- Auto oli ihan hyvä. En saanut nopeaa kierrosta ajettua loppuun, kun loppui sessio kesken, Kimi totesi avausharjoituksesta.
Toisessa harjoituksessa Räikkönen ei päässyt ajamaan parhaassa iskussa olevalla autolla jääden seitsemänneksi.
- Halusin kokeilla auton etupäässä yhtä uutta juttua, joka toimi testeissä, mutta ei se täällä toiminut. Meillä ei ollut sitten aikaa vaihtaa sitä, koska se kestää niin kauan, joten toinen harjoitus meni vähän ajeluksi, Kimi totesi.
Räikkönen uskoo vahvaan viikonloppuun.
- Uskon, että meillä on hyvä auto. Aamu oli sen verran hyvä, että meillä on hyvä lähtökohta huomenna. Laitetaan auto takaisin samanlaiseksi kuin se oli ensimmäisessä harjoituksessa, Räikkönen suunnitteli.



I translated it with Google for myself, and he said that really. :)

without words! :cheeky:
 
Felipe and Ferrari on pole in Singapore by a wide margin.

Hamilton is very lucky once again. If Alonso's car didn't have troubles then Hamilton would be starting 11th on the grid for the race, as he would not have even made it into the final qualifying session.

Kimi starts 3rd. I really hoping he manages to pass Hamilton into the first corner, otherwise it looks like this is going to be hard track to pass on.

Go Ferrari !

Yeah, maybe.. I felt bad because Alonso had to quit, he was doing so good!

I love the track very much! It's amazingly beautiful and the cars, wow! The yare so shiny and look soooo cool on the dark and bright lights...

Kimi was doing pretty good, I hope that he gets to pass Hamilton in the start, too.. I have a good feeling :)

I wished Heikki would've been a bit higher, too. He did so good on the first sessions..
 
I'm so pissed off at the Renault motor... hadn't there been a failure Hamster would have not made it into the Q3!!!!!!!!:doh::doh: He was lucky... But that would have been the 1st luck for Kimi for such a long time.

Anyway nothing surprising for me. It happened the way I expected. Massa extra light, Kimi heavier. I have to admit though that Massa drove a stunning lap...:yes: Hamster messed up Q2...:cheeky:

Have you seen the interviews? Kimi looked sad... :(and red :D (poor baby, the heat and the humidity...). All the drivers has been complaining about the physical challenge, and Kimi says that there isn't any physical challenge. That's our Kimi... :)

If he can pass Hamster at the start (since Hamster will start from the dirty side) then it's ok because Massa is much lighter (I think 1 or 2 laps), he can pass him during 1st or 2nd pit stops. But would the Ferrari team let Kimi win it....? That's the question. :unsure:

I have to admit that the Ferrari is the most beautiful car by night. OMG! It was so shiny with that beautiful red helmet...:cheeky:

That will be one tough and very long race. Our commentators said it could be almost 2 hours compared to the 1 hour 30 minutes race time... It can be because Spa is 44 laps and one lap is about 1,44, this race is 61 laps long with the same lap time. And if there would be safety car period(s) they even could stop it at 2 hours... That'll be a very exciting race, I prepare myself with tranquillizers... :cheeky:
 
Just interesting little fact that i heard this week: you know there was the school shooting this week, and on internet there are always moving the bits, on that day there were such many that the news jumped to 2nd place on the list when were most bits moving. The first place is for a day when Kimi won the championship. IMO just shows how important that was for us, if even this kind of tragic news can't beat it.. if you understood anything I'm explaining.. :innocent:

Also there was a poll which asked who would people want more likely to see winning the championship, Massa or Hamilton. 77% answered Massa , most comments about Hamilton were that he shouldn't win because of his cocky behaviour and attitude.. I'm so happy that other Finns think like that too :D
 
^^^I understood what you tried to explain.... wow, :eek:

I understand the Finnish people's opinion regarding this question, too.

I like this Kimi smile!!! *drools* :wub:
vpntzgcvcuoxdnxqwgd.jpg


Kimi, could you do this favor to me that you'll win the race and you put this same smile on your face during tomorrow's press conference? Thanx in advance...:cheeky:
 
I have to admit that the Ferrari is the most beautiful car by night. OMG! It was so shiny with that beautiful red helmet...:cheeky:

i do not write in this topic, but i saw some parts of todays qualifying and i first thought, that the red cars are new, or somehow different...then later realized that they look diff and shiny coz of the night and lights, yeah, they were really beautiful! :punk:
 
I think both Raikonen and Hamilton are sexy buggers, Raikonen cause of the eyes and Hamilton cause he looks like Mike a little, and i really dont think Hamilton is cocky just gets very competitive on the track. Gah my ultimate sexy men list that i do not know the people involved, Hamilton, Raikonen, Jonny Depp, i think Bill Kaulitz is cute, and of course MJ.

OMG! :eek: :bugeyed Don't say that Hamilton reminds you of MJ....... noooo.....:no: (his eyes are beautiful though, I have to admit.)

Kimi is how he is, the sexiest Scandinavian guy I've ever seen.:wub: Most definitely because of his eyes, his cheeky smile and cute baby face.

So I agree with you on Kimi, Johnny Depp and MJ (I don't know who Bill Kaulitz is. :unsure:)

@ Ági: yeah, the cars looked totally different under those lights. They were so shiny. It seemed to me as if the Ferrari had a darker red color.:)

Kimi - again - pulled one funny (scary) face... watch, I can't stop laughing at it... :lmao:

Hanna have you noticed how much quicker Heikki is compared to Lewis in qualifying? In Q3 the team has to fuel him very heavy otherwise he could beat McLaren's Golden Boy... :( and they just keep saying there's no team order... hahaha

kerbs at Turn 10 :eek:

2893610100_d138e7095c_o.jpg
 
^ eww on the kerb :puke: :D

YES I have noticed how quick Heikki is. If only they would let him drive with less fuel, NO ONEcould beat him... but Kimi.

Oh Dear you made a mistake saying that here :lol:

Me and Kinga can't stand Hamilton, he really does not remind us of MJ!! :D
