Me too! Well, at least if it's a proper winter like the last one...

Yes you did, just didn't realize. There was a fan Q+A with him about two years ago. He was asked what he used to carry in the backpack he constantly has with him. He said some essentials. Notebook was one of them

Thanks for the artickle:)
What's with Ferrari guys nowadays? They didn't get their memo? ;)
Stella stating that with Kimi they didn't need words to communicate is not new, but Massa and Domi seems to appreciate Kimi a lot more since he left. Not to mention what Alo said on Thursday:
http://en.espnf1.com/monaco/motorsport/story/17058.html
"I can understand that there could be a level of pessimism after the show of strength from Red Bull in Barcelona qualifying, but we know that here, having the right set-up can make more of a difference than pure aerodynamic downforce and we already have a good baseline, given that last year, Kimi [Raikkonen in a Ferrari] nearly took pole with a car that was far off the F10 in terms of its potential."

What happened with doesn't communicate, can't develop/setup the car properly? :zz:

Off-Topic: show
The 10 sentences of the Week (May 3)
Published by Leo Turrini Sun, 02/05/2010 - 22:19

Before Barcelona: the top ten phrases of the week. I hope they will be to your liking.

1) The testimony of my informant. There are two drivers in the same team who meet after a tumultuous GP. The least paid say to the highest paid:'The next time you dare to make me look like a fool you will find a wall'. And the highest paid replied:'Try if you dare'.

Musical comment:'But the sky is always bluer'(ZZ Top).
Thanks for that Nikki:)
Turrini might be as biased as we are, but his comments are always interesting to read.
Am I the only one catching myself feeling sorry for Massa? He seems to be more and more desperate and insecure. I bet he misses Kimi too;)

Thanks for all the pictures, guys, it's great to see him there :)

But having seen the pictures of the yacht I never realised before how close together they all are, it's like being a battery hen, OK a battery hen inside a giant mansion of a cage but still.... :lol:

Many Kimi with notebook pics:

There comes something to my mind: Wasn't there a advertisement pic of Kimi wearing a red t-shirt while standing by some table with a notebook? That was probably two or three years ago. I'm sure, I owned that one, but I can't find it! Please, if someone has it, please post it to me! Thanks! :)
