Martin Whitmarsh maintains Kimi Raikkonen for extremely underestimated and explains how close this really the year at McLaren comeback by scraping

(Motor-Total.com) - Kimi Raikkonen always had in Formula 1 a reputation as a thoroughbred racer. For legend Stirling Moss was the Finn even the fastest man in the premier class. But there are critics who have long-standing McLaren driver hold for simple and it has no technical skills let alone the potential to be a team to lead attest.

Wrongly, as McLaren team boss and Raikkonen connoisseur Martin Whitmarsh over says 'Motor Sport': "I'm Kimi fan and have it never made a secret I think it is a underrated drivers - underrated in the sense that everyone knows. how incredibly fast it is, but I think people do not realize is how smart he and how good the technical feedback, is that he can deliver a team. "

The Briton believes that Raikkonen in F1 has not fully exploited its potential: "He has a World Cup win, but I think he would have achieved more. " Whitmarsh makes no secret of the fact that he protege in the previous year to McLaren retrieve wanted many years his: "There was the year before serious negotiations, which were opened by me always. I got it I received and was very much interested I am. Personally agree with Kimi well-come and it would have been an interesting challenge to get him back. "

But what the big comeback with McLaren failed? "Our negotiations were very advanced," said Whitmarsh. "Ultimately he has not come back because I suddenly realized that Jenson could be available. I have made him an offer and Jenson has accepted this challenge, surprisingly. I am very happy about it."

Well, estas histórias sobre as pessoas falando sobre como o Kimi é legal e dedicado e bom piloto só aparecem depois que ele já não está mais na F1. E de verdade, não preciso que o Whitmarsh venha à público dizer algo que eu já sabia.

A verdade, é que mesmo que Whitmarsh tenha toda esta consideração e admiração por Kimi não importa mais, isto não foi o suficiente para que eles (a McLaren, inclusive) quisessem ou fizessem de tudo para ele ficar. Anyway...

Sendo o mais sincera possível, e vocês sabem que eu sou, não consigo acreditar em nenhum respeito, ou admiração, ou nada que alguém de dentro da F1 diga sentir pelo piloto Kimi Räikkönen. São as marcas dos anos de tantas coisas injustas, erradas e maldosas que falaram sobre ele. Dizer o quanto ele era bom e merecia outro título pelo talento que sempre teve, não importa mais!
