"Condolences" by Janne Palomäki

Condolences

Making these stories is not the pleasant side in this job. The death of a close person is an extremely painful matter for each and everyone and asking about them isn't professionally rewarding.

I was 27-years old when my father died only a few weeks after he turned 55 years.

Matti Räikkönen was 56 when he passed away.

I don't claim that I would know how Kimi Räikkönen feels at the moment. I don't claim that I can estimate how long it takes for him before he is ready to return to the negotiation-table. I don't think anyone can say that he should do anything else than what he is doing right now.

Mourn.

Everything else is secondary. I'm sure Kimi gave a lot of joy and happiness to his father. Maybe he can seek some comfort from the fact that their relationship remained close until the end.

We can only take part in Räikkönen-family's mourning.

And give them peace.

Com certeza, em um caso como este, tudo é secundário! Talvez esta seja a hora de Kimi parar e começar sua própria família, e curtir o automobilismo só de vez em quando, quando tiver vontade. Não por temporadas e temporadas inteiras, viajando tanto, ficando tanto tempo longe da família. Talvez seja a hora de viver mesmo!
