Viram? Era disso que eu estava falando quando ele não continuou na França. Kimi nunca foi de desistir. E fico contente que ele vá continuar o rali, apesar de estar muito cansada e não estar podendo acompanhar como gostaria... mas fico feliz porque mostra que se o WRC fosse somente um passatempo, por que ele se importaria tanto em continuar um rali onde ele não tem mais chance de nada?
