Coluna do campeão

Olá galerinha? Estou aqui para postar o novo texto do campeão do mundo. Sua coluna de hoje leva o título de "Hora de melhorar". Resuminho básico para vocês...

Nesta semana Kimi falou sobre as dificuldades enfrentadas na Hungria, mas que no final tudo acabou até bem, depois de ter largado em 6º. Comentou que estava conseguindo tirar vantagem de Glock no final, mas tiveram um problema mecânico e diminuíram o ritmo. Além disso, ele afirmou que precisa de um carro para lutar pelas primeiras posições para poder brigar pelo título, e também mencionou o problema enfrentado por Felipe, dizendo: "Meu companheiro teve uma corrida muito forte. Que mostra o real potencial que tínhamos. Infelizmente para Felipe e para o time ele teve que parar na parte final da corrida. Esta é a parte ruim das corridas. Eu tive minha parcela disso algumas vezes, quando alguma coisa quebrava enquanto eu liderava e controlava a corrida."

O finlandês também deu parabéns ao seu compatriota Heikki pela vitória, comentou que vai ser muito bom este período de férias para descansar com os amigos e a família e disse que está ansioso pelo GP de Valência, pois gosta muito de conhecer novos lugares, já que desde a época em que era garoto, no kart, conseguia aprender os circuitos muito rápido.

"Time to improve" - By Kimi Räikkönen

We've been racing for six months and it feels good to relax for a little bit, recharge batteries and go on fighting in two weeks' time again. Our position in the championship is not that bad. Obviously we can improve - and we will. That is the target, for sure.
Overall the Hungarian weekend was a disappointing experience for me. But - after all - the result was pretty much ok. Whenever we are able to narrow the lead, it's always good. You cannot do any better.
There is no reason to deny that a few last races have not gone the way like I wanted to. Every time something strange has happened. Obviously the car has not been fitting me the best possible way. We have tried to find a nice compromise, but it has not worked out. The main goal right now is the get the things sorted out for the next race in Valencia.
The qualifying in Hungary hurt us again. I could not keep the car on the road. There is nobody else to blame for that. But it's obvious that you cannot win the championship if you start every time from the sixth place in the grid. You can be one second quicker than anybody else, but if you start from the sixth at Hockenheim or Hungaroring, you cannot use that speed at all.
Now I was stuck behind Alonso. He had a good car for the last sector and that would have been the only place to try to overtake him. Once again I learnt that it's impossible to overtake in Hungary.
After the last pitstop I could go by my own and we went eight tenths quicker already in my outlap. The car felt nice. It was good to drive, but it was much too late to fight for the victory. We caught Glock in the end, but then we had a mechanical issue and had to slow down.
My team mate had a real strong race. That shows the real potential we had. Unfortunate thing for Felipe and for the team that he had to stop in the final stages of the race.That's the nasty part of the racing. I have had my share of that a couple of times, when something had broken while leading and controlling the race. Ferrari has been leading the constructors' championship almost the whole year. That shows how things are. We still have the best car and a lot of potential, too.
Congratulations to Heikki Kovalainen, who won first time a Grand Prix. He has had his share of a bad luck. It was his turn to be in the sunny side of the street this time.I've got also more points than the guys who were in front of me in the championship. After all that gave a good feeling to start this short holiday. I just enjoy the Finnish summer, although the forecast is not promising the best of the weathers. It's always nice to chill out with the friends and the family. There cannot be a better place for me right now.
The next race will be Valencia and a new street circuit. I always like it very much to go the new places. Since I was a small kid with a smallest Go Kart I've always learnt new circuits very quickly.
It was hot in Hungary and obviously it will be hot in Valencia, too. Like we say in the race, the hot weather suits well for our car.

Beijinhos, Ludy
