Saturday in Spa - On Track with Kimi

Saturday in Spa - On Track with Kimi

Promoted one position to P3 after a penalty for Pastor [Maldonado], Kimi will start tomorrow’s Belgian Grand Prix from the clean side of the track and with pole sitter Jenson Button firmly in his sights… 

KIMI, P3 ON THE GRID FOR TOMORROW’S RACE; ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THAT?

We’d like to be nearer the front but the most important thing right now is that we’ve qualified ahead of the guys we’re fighting in the Championship which is positive. If we can get more points than them that will be the first step and we’ll see where we go from there.

GIVE US YOUR VIEW ON QUALIFYING?

It hasn’t been the easiest day. The car was ok but it just doesn’t look like we have the speed of some of the other teams. The final part of qualifying was not so great; for some reason I was getting quite a lot of understeer but I think we did more or less the best we could.

ARE YOU CONFIDENT THAT THE PACE IS THERE IN THE CAR TO IMPROVE ON YOUR GRID POSITION?

The gap to the guys in front was quite big in Q3 so we’ve got some work to do overnight to find those last few tenths, but the race will be a different story so let’s see what happens. FINALLY, HOW ARE YOU

FEELING AHEAD OF TOMORROW’S RACE?

We’ve seem mixed up grids many times this year but the race is what matters and we’ve seen some good battles this season with people starting out of position. We’ll just have to see how things to tomorrow.

Pois é, como havia prometido, agora é hora de comentar um pouquinho mais sobre o desempenho de Räikkönen hoje no treino.

Como disse no "Pitacos", achei que daria até para ficar com uma segunda colocação, mas o fato é que, ainda que a punição de Maldonado não tivesse acontecido, estar entre os cinco primeiros é sempre bom na Bélgica.

Acredito que Kimi vai fazer uma boa corrida. E vai atacar logo de cara. Na verdade, acho que precisa, porque embora não veja o Button assim tão favorito, apesar da pole, se Kimi conseguir superar pelo menos Koba e ficar pertinho de Button, a luta poderá ser mais justa.

Já estava esperançosa (embora tensa...rsrsrs) por Spa. Agora estou mais ainda e realmente, desta vez, a luta pela vitória será real. E que ela possa vir. Mas caso não dê para vencer, gostaria que ele pelo menos pudesse subir ao pódio. #LudynaTorcida
