Coluna de Kimi Räikkönen

Olá pessoal? Segue para vocês a coluna de Kimi sobre Mônaco. Kimi não ficou satisfeito com o resultado pois sabia que poderia ter conseguido mais. Disse que estar de volta ao pódio foi um prêmio para todo o time, o que prova que depois de tanto trabalho duro os resultados estão começando a aparecer.

Ele disse também que sabe que a Scuderia voltará a vencer e que na Turquia novas atualizações serão colocadas no carro.

O Iceman finaliza agradecendo à equipe pela oportunidade de correr em mais um rally, no próximo sábado, o Marca Trevigiana, perto da cidade de Treviso, ao volante do Fiat Grande Punto S2000 e pela primeira vez no asfalto.

Ai...já estou ansiosa...meu sábado vai ser muito bom!!! Farei a cobertura completa do evento, podem ter certeza!!! Adoro quando Kimi participa de rally, ele se diverte de lá e eu daqui!!!

"The podium rewards the team" by Kimi Räikkönen

I wasn't too happy with the third place at the Monaco GP. For sure it was the best result in the last time, but that was nothing new to me and we knew that we could arrive on a place on the top. When the leaders in the Championship are so far ahead in the classification, in the end it's only a victory that counts. Being back on the podium is a nice reward for the whole Team.

The hard work of the last weeks finally bears some fruit, which is really positive for all of us. We know that we're on the right way now: there are still some minor things to be done but sooner or later we will win. We'll show up with further improvements of the F60 in the upcoming races and we hope we can then challenge the leaders even more, in the qualifying and in the race.

The Monaco qualifying is so much more important than on other tracks and we've almost done a perfect job: we missed the pole by 25 thousandsth of a second. Not starting from the first position means that it's very likely you won't win. Furthermore the second position on the grid doesn't help on this track. You start from the dirty side of the track and whenever I found myself in this position I always lost at least one position in the field, because the tyres spin a lot at the start. In fact Rubens overtook me, which was really a shame. If I had manaaged to stay beind Button I think I could have easily opened a gap. In the end it was difficult to fight for second position and then there was this story at the last pit stop, where we lost a couple of seconds, due to a problem with the right rear wheel. When I took up the race again I was further behind the Brazilian than before.

We brought home both cars and gained some important points. There were many things at Monaco we can be satisfied with.

I'll race in a rally in Italy next Saturday, in the Marca Trevigiana, and I want to thank the Scuderia that they gave me the possibility to take part in such a competition. I really enjoy myself and it will be my first experience on the tarmac after some tests on snow last winter. As I'm coeing from the race track it will be intersting to see what I will be able to do behind the wheel of the Fiat Grande Punto S2000 on the roads close to Treviso.
