Coluna do Campeão
Olá pessoal? A coluna de Kimi esta semana veio atrasadinha. Mas deixo aqui para quem quiser ler.
Nada de muito diferente do que já lemos nos noticiários. A única coisa que destaco é o final do texto, quando ele cita o bicampeonato de Toni Vilander, seu amigo de muitos anos, no campeonato GT pela Ferrari, no último domingo. Kimi fala: "Um campeonato é sempre merecido. Você não o vence por acidente."

"Cross the bar" by Kimi Räikkönen
After the summer break everything has gone wrong. We haven't been able to get the result we have been waiting for. I could have won in Spa but otherwise I haven't been able to even fight for the top places. This ain't never easy but it's hard to understand that it can sometimes be this hard. It hasn't been up to my will at least. I ain't no loser.
The season goes on and so be it. 3 races to go. A racer likes to race. My attitude hasn't changed in any way. I fight every time when the lights go out and start pushing.
Last year I got 26 points from the last 3 races. When it starts working you get more points fast.
The WDC goes to the others. I can't help it. I have to be a realist. Next year I'll give it another try. Now I just have to lower the bar back to where it was so that I get the footstep marks put in the right place and can start winning again.
My goals are exactly the same as they were a year ago this time. We try to get both Championships to the same address in Maranello again. It's going to be a tough call and we'll do our best so that the team gets the results they need.
What means is that we get to cross the finish line and get maximum points. We have again new things to our car and we should have a good chance in Fuji to take the first two places.
And the rain doesn't bother either. If it rains, then we'll drive in the rain - just like last season's quali and race in Japan.
Last time we had a great race considering how it started. We had some hassle with the tyre judgments and took the wrong tyres to the start. Still I managed to get up to 3rd place from the last place. It was tough when you didn't see anything but still the race went pretty well.
Fuji is a nice track. It's a challenge to find the right compromises to the setups. In quali you have to get to the top but still there are a few places where you can overtake.
And if it rains again, then the weather itself is the biggest challenge.
We have fixed a few new things so that the tyres would get more warmer in the rain. Time will tell if it's enough to fight for the win if the track is once again wet and cool.
I relaxed after Singapore in Phuket with my friends. I flew to Tokyo in good time. I'm ready and I'm in a good mood.
Toni Vilander won on Sunday the GT-Championship for the second time to Ferrari. Congratulations to Viltsu. The Championship is always earned. You don't win it by accident.
