[Edge To Life]

а почему не единичка на болиде?

Потому что в сезоне 2007 единичка была у временно безработного.

Комментарий Кими после вчерашних тестов:

"Если бы я должен был водить тут ту же машину, что и в Бразилии, я бы вероятно остался в отпуске. Но с множеством электронных новинок пришлось быть тут. И да, признаю, что я счастлив быть опять за рулем."

"Наконец-то никто не спрашивает, когда я стану чемпионом. Сейчас я концентрируюсь на том, чтобы стать двукратным."

О ТК: "Меня развернуло во втором повороте. Сейчас проще потерять машину, особенно когда ты давишь на газ выходя из поворота. Это похоже на мой дебют в Заубер в 2000, но тогда 10-ти цилиндровый двигатель сильно помогал, поскольку можно было играть с передачами, и сила нарастала постепенно. Сейчас, с V8, это намного более жестко. Но, в конце концов, пилотировать с новой электроникой весело."

Кими не будет тестировать слики.

Вечером он полетит в Хельсинки на ужин к президенту. В пятницу Кими полетит на гала-вечер в Монако получать трофей от ФИА, а в Субботу он будет праздновать Рождество с Командой в Маранелло.

Ну вот - закрутилось...

Отличное интервью с Кими (4 декабря), но, к сожалению, у меня абсолютно нет времени его перевести.

--------------

Q: ''Kimi, welcome back to work. It's something different returning to work as a worldchampion, isn't it ?

Raikkonen: ''It's definately a nice feeling. But winning the title hasn't changed my life. It is what I wanted, what I had always desired to become when I started driving. I've tried it for many years, I've come very close to it twice. At the end it came to me.''

Q: It's a very special championship.

Raikkonen: ''Special because it was a really unexpected one. In fact, at some stage we looked beaten. We've overcome our difficulties and we've done it. It's true, finishing first like that has a different taste to it.''

Q: Some people say that on the night after becoming worldchampion, you've celebrated in a rather, how do you say it.... obstreperous fashion...

Raikkonen: ''Hehe...we've had a nice party and that was all.''

Q: But the story didn't even end there. How did you experience the 'fuel case' that could have cost you the title ?

Raikkonen: ''I wasn't worried. It's a mood I always try to avoid getting in. Let's say I was rather confident. There were no reasons to change the result in Brasil. It's true that you're never certain of anything. This year really a whole lot of things happened.''

Q: So...?

Raikkonen: ''So I was at home waiting for news to come out, without much distress. Domenicali called me up to tell me everything was fineell. At the end it's what I had expected. At that point I've started to fully feel worldchampion.''

Q: And you say nothing has changed ?

Raikkonen: ''I haven't changed. My life hasn't changed. I can understand that some people look at me in a different way now. The worldtitle perhaps changed things for others, not for me. Let's put it like this: I've reached a goal that I've been striving for for a long time.''

Q: To get to the point, you've given up driving for a team that seemed to be made for you, McLaren, and you've gone to a team that apperantly wouldn't have suited you, Ferrari.

Raikkonen: ''And I'm happy that the worldtitle has come here (at Ferrari). At Ferrari I feel very well, and I've left McLaren because they had some problems, that seems obvious to me.''

Q: Problems similar to those experienced by Alonso and Hamilton this year ?

Raikkonen: ''I don't feel like getting into this diatribe at all. What happened at McLaren (this year) doesn't interest me, honestly. I was in a situation that I didn't like much. There were things not strictly related to the races. It were rather things to do with my behaviour, with the way I spent my spare time. I've always been very clear: I want to live my life !''

Q: How would you have felt in Alonso's place ?

Raikkonen: ''Not even bad, I'd say. I've always looked to the relationship with my teammates with great ease.''

Q: And if he finds a seat at Ferrari in 2009 ?

Raikkonen: ''No problem. I won't change my way of life, or that of driving. It would be interesting to compete against each other in the same car. But I don't know when and if it will happen. Perhaps it takes a very long time.''

Q: Was you relationship with Dennis very tense ?

Raikkonen: ''Oh, we've had some discussions. But no e-mail contact.''

Q: In short, at Ferrari you feel a lot better...

Raikkonen: ''Definately. I'm happy with the team, I'm satisfied about the relationship with the engineers and with all the rest of it. I don't see any reason to move anywhere else. This team is simply it for me. I don't know if this will be my last contract, but I want Ferrari to be my last team.''

Q: Are you already thinking about retiring ?

Raikkonen: ''Not at all. My horizon goes as far as 2009, when my contract with Ferrari comes to an end. I don't restrain myself with any limits. I don't know for how many more years I will drive.''

Q: But surely you know how many more worldtitles you want to win. Hamilton has said he wants seven.

Raikkonen: ''I've always said that I didn't want to retire as long as I hadn't won one. This objective has been reached. Now I want other titles, as many as possible. To start off with the next.''

Q: And if you don't make it next year ?

Raikkonen: ''Then I'll try again in 2009. I definately haven't run out of fuel for the moment.''

Q: Let's talk about the championship once more, the one you just won. How did Hamilton loose out on it ?

Raikkonen: ''Simple. He made a number of mistakes. His car was very reliable and he's done silly things at the wrong moments. It happened.''

Q: In his debut year with McLaren do you think he collapsed under the weight of this very hard season...

Raikkonen: ''I don't know if it's relevant to talk about him being a rookie. I think that finding yourself in a certain situation and in a team in which the psychological pressure is always high, he has had his share in going the wrong way at the decisive moment.''

Q: Are these Hamilton's woes and Raikkonen's merits ?

Raikkonen: ''I've won more races. In racing that's how it works.''

Q: But there's something not right. You've won the title in a way people should still be remembering it after a long time. Instead, we're always talking about Hamilton the rising star, about Schumacher who won't come back racing, or perhaps he does, about Alonso who still hasn't found a new team. Isn't that strange to you ?

Raikkonen: ''That seems very nice to me. In that way the others are always in the spotlights and I live a quiet and amusing life. You know what ? I'm worldchampion and no-one will take that away from me. The only thing that interests me is the trophee that belongs to the worldchampion and that I'm going to collect in Monaco on Friday. I gladly let the others have other rewards, those like the driver of the year and that kind of thing.''

Q: Do you not feel the best driver having won the title ?

Raikkonen: ''Coming from the presumption that Formula 1 drivers are the best in the world, that means I'm one of the best 22 and that already means a lot to me.''

Q: Thursday you will take part in the celebrations of Finlands' independance, Friday you'll go to Monaco and on Saterday you'll go to Maranello for Ferrari's Christmas party. What do you think you'll enjoy most ?

Raikkonen: ''The feast on Saturday, the least official one. There are a lot of kids. I like kids.

Q: Once you chose a pseudonim for taking part in an ice race. You chose James Hunt. Why ?

Raikkonen: ''It's a character I've always liked. He was a worldchampion and lived in a way I liked. He was a different driver to all the others I'd known. But Formula 1 as a whole was probably different in the '70's.''

Q: You're a universial character too now, a worldchampion, eventhough you're still not driving with the number 1 on the car. Feelings about that ?

Raikkonen: ''The number isn't all that important eventhough I'll like it more when I see the 1 on my car. I've won the title and I count on winning it again next year. But I'm perfectly aware that will be very difficult.

Q: Is it more or less difficult to drive without traction control ?

Raikkonen: ''From that point of view, it will be fun. When I've sat in the car it felt as if I had returned to 2000 when I tested the Sauber at Mugello without electronic aids. I've had the impression of being younger, not bad.''

Q: How will the driving style change in the race ?

Raikkonen: ''Essentially, you'll need to be more concentrated. Every small distraction could lead to a decisive mistake. It won't be that easy.''

Q: Schumacher now has a much more active rol in the team compared to the last months. Did your relationship with him change ?

Raikkonen: ''Not at all. I continu to have an absolute friendly, I'd say normal, relationship with Michael. We're not great friends in a way that you call each other regularly or go out together on evenings. But that doesn't mean anything. It's the same with Felipe.''

Q: But it was wise of the team not to let you two test together.

Raikkonen: ''Yes, for a number of good reasons. First of all there's no temptation to push very hard just for the sake of it. And then a lot of useless talk is avoided.''

Q: Can I ask you a comment on an alleged love story in the papers about you and an Italian girl.

Raikkonen: ''Of course you can ask that and of course I won't respond to it.''
