Entrevista com o campeão
Galerinha, abaixo eu posto uma entrevista feita pelo Corriere della Sera com o Iceman publicada no último dia 3/3. Desculpem não colocar a traduzida, mas às vezes acho que a tradução perde muito do texto.
As partes em vermelho são as respostas que mais gostei!!!! hehehehe
Interview to Kimi, Corriere della Sera 03/03/2008:
"Ferrari, affection, friends. I have all I need to win again "
Raikkonen: "My Italy is my team"
A resounding recovery, almost 20 points gained in last three races: when did you realize that you would have won?
-- Only at the end of the Brazil GP: there were too many unfavorable combinations even in case of my success in that race. But after the victory in China I was confident.
There was a time when he thought about not succeed?
-- Of course, there were more than one. Recovery was not easy and was also linked to factors independent of us.
Life has changed after the title?
-- I wouldn't say. It 'just a little' easier, but it's still my way, I have my family with me, people don't ask me too many questions and they don't ask me more if I win the worldchampionship... (Laugh).
On the eve of the 2007 Brazil GP were you serene or nervous?
-- I was quiet. We knew we were in conditions to conclude with a one-two and that was a good point.
During the qualifying lap for pole position, Hamilton cut you the road clearly. But you were not angry. Maybe is Kimi Raikkonen too good?
-- Well, I am convinced that we should not complain too much. Maybe he could make a less rough manoeuvre, but on one fact on any episode, there may be different views. Finally, when a decision is taken, protesting is not the way to change it.
When Hamilton lost did you put yourself in his shoes?
-- No, although he was unlucky. I shook his hands, then in all honesty, I thought my joy.
Felipe has confessed to talk to the car.
-- (Laugh) And what does Felipe say? ... No, I don't speak with it.
The quality and the fault of Kimi.
- You should ask to other people. Each of us has positive aspects and sides of the character less perfect. I wouldn't say about me, however I just want to be myself.
What does a driver feel when he's dominating the race but a wheel yields, like it happened to you at Nurburgring with McLaren?
-- A feeling of frustation. But if you do this job, you have to consider it.
And it's true that you can make a nap everywhere, even before going on track for a test?
- Yes: if I can do it, it's relaxing.
What have you already understood of Italians and what's still surprising you?
-- My Italy is mainly represented by the team. And by some friends who live in Italy. I don't feel like judging you, at least not now: it would be too soon. But relations with the Italians are positive so far: inside the team, in particular, there is a really nice atmosphere.
What can someone do to become a friend of yours?
-- I have my friends and it's enough. I'm not going to look for other ones.
Kimi the shy.
-- I've always been like this and probably always will be. It's my working way... But it works, then I see no reason to change.
Montezemolo, however, said that in private you are a very funny guy. Are there two Raikkonen?
-- I don't think. The driver and the man are the same person, even if I'm different when I'm working than when I'm with family or friends. They are different situations. Probably everybody change at work than when they are relaxing.
You don't speak so often about your wife Jenni: shyness or privacy desire?
-- I don't see any reasons to talk about my private life.
So, tell us if you conquered her heart or vice versa.
-- I hope it was a mutual thing.
Kimi Raikkonen is a romantic? -- I don't know, Jenni should say it, but I don't need to ask.
Science or religion?
-- Perhaps science, but don't know ...
Which living person do you most admire?
-- Nobody in particular, I have no heroes.
And who you can't bear?
-- I don't know, also because if I don't like a person, I not do anything to stay close.
They give you keys of the world: what do you do?
-- I am not the best person to answer.
Raikkonen is a man of right or left (in politics)?
-- I don't think it makes much difference. More right, though.
Do you like living in an increasingly multiethnic world?
-- This is the way as things turn. I am well, but I can't see many other choices.
And what do you think about gay couples?
-- There is nothing wrong, even though the issue (ironic little smile) doesn't concern me....
Being a winner means...
-- Living good feelings.
Keke Rosberg and Mika Hakkinen, the other two Finnish F1 world champions: who do you prefer?
-- I know both, but more Mika . I would put them on the same level, I can't make differences between two champions.
Do you think you could have been a great rally driver?
-- I'm not sure. Try rally for fun it's different from real races.
Better luxury or simplicity?
-- As a rule, I prefer normal things.
How much do you use cellphone?
--The right level. To talk to my wife and my family, to my friends and to the team.
Is there a madness that you would like to do?
-- Sooner or later I would like to try a basic jump.
You meet Eminem, your singer idol: what do you ask him?
-- I just say him that I like his music.
You meet an alien: do you escape with fear or you try to talk?
-- The problem doesn't exist: I can't imagine to meet someone.
Do you think that each one has a guardian angel?
-- Uhmmm, I would not be so sure that there are angels.
And is it true that you loves Disney cartoons? You feel more like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge?
--I read them when I was a child and I read them even as an adult. But it is exaggerated to say that I am a fanatic one.
Did you play with small cars when you were child?
-- Absolutely.
Someone bets that in Ferrari you will become more popular than Sch.
-- I am not counting if I have more or less supporters. Schumi is an important piece of Ferrari history, it’s logical that he’s always seen in a special way.
About Sch, Massa claims that Michael is one of his best friends. Is he also important for you?
-- I have good relations with Michael, but my best friends are out of the F1.
A season with Jean Todt in a different role.
-- He will be less at races, but it will not change much for us. Ferrari has lived the real news last season.
Describe me Stefano Domenicali.
-- Good and clever.
Between Alonso and Hamilton, who is stronger?
-- Last year, with the same car, they finished on equal points ...
Will you win again this year?
--Certainly I think we will win races, but winning the championship is something completely different. But Ferrari has good chances to repeat.
Beijinhos, Ludy
