Coluna do Campeão
Segue para vocês a última coluna de Kimi Räikkönen. Lendo este texto ainda fico frustrada com tudo o que aconteceu, infelizmente sou diferente de Kimi, não consegui digerir o que Hamilton fez, e a punição dele na França não me alivia também. Kubica não teria ganho fácil se Kimi estivesse na pista, pelo menos um pouco mais de dificuldade teria. O finlandês estava extremamente mais rápido que o polonês até o safety car causado por Sutil (ironias do destino...). Mas tudo bem, a vida segue, Kimi é campeão, competente e vai dar a volta por cima. Ano passado nesta mesma altura do campeonato ele estava com um desvantagem de 20 pontos para o Massa, este ano são só 3. Foi na França que ele começou sua recuperação, e por mais que queiram vê-lo como carta fora do baralho, ele não está. Kimi parece bobo, mas de bobo ele não tem nada!
Go Kimi!!!
A Bitter Surprise - 11.06.08 - www.kimiraikkonen.com
It was a bitter disappointment and surprise we had in Canada. I can't believe, that somebody can hit you when you stand in the red light side by side with another car. I can't believe he did not see the red light, and, more than that, the two stationary cars.
For my part, I think Hamilton deserved his penalty. He loses ten places on the grid at the next race in France, and at least, that's not going to make things any easier for him.
Obviously, we lost a good result in Canada. Before the pitstop I felt that the car was very strong in speed. We could have won the race, or in the worst case, come second.
On Saturday we had difficulties in qualifying because of the breaking surface of the track, and then, for a while the beginning of the race. The left front tyre started to grain, but as soon as we got the front tyres working well we went very fast.
We got the fastest lap time before the safety car, then we had a great pitstop and put our car out in the front. I was ready to fight and try to beat Kubica after the red light but that never happened. Instead came Hamilton, and our race was over.
I was not angry, just disappointed, surprised and frustrated all at the same time. He knows there was a red light. Accidents happen, but not with two stopped cars.
Now seven races have past and we have had two bad results in a row. It is something nobody could have predicted. Obviousl our position is not that strong anymore but its not the end of the world for us. We have not lost that much.
We are fourth in the championship. It's the same position as last year and like then, there's a long season ahead of us.
It was good for that Kubica won in Canada. Congratulations to him for taking the maximum points. For us, it was better that he got the ten points and not my main rivals, who are now just three points ahead of me.
The BMWs have always been there and have always scored points. When something has gone wrong for us, they managed to take a nice lead. I'm not too worried about that, but obviously, if they keep scoring each time then it will be hard to catch them up in the championship.
But we have a very good feeling with the car. We will win soon again. Now we go to the circuits where we should be strong from since the very beginning of the weekend.
Monaco and Canada are far away in the past for me. Since coming out the car after the crash in Canada, I put it all behind and I have been just focusing on France. We won thee last year and will do our very best to win there again.
Beijinhos, Ludy
Go Kimi!!!

Kimi/Massa/Kubica no pódio! Hamilton não vai ter vida fácil não, largando na melhor posição que seria em décimo se for pole, vai pegar "ossos duros" a frente para ultrapassar, como Alonso...hehehe. Kovalainen ta fora porque vai ter que abrir para o Rei Luisinho, ou faz isso ou é RUA! Acredito que Hamilton chegue em um quarto ou quinto lugar(vai perder muito tempo ate chegar no lider),so uma super-largada salva sua corrida! Vai correr riscos se quiser algo como um pódio,so que é aí que mora o perigo!
