The different rally-stress suits Räikkönen
Turun Sanomat 27.4 2010 22:09:44
Kimi Räikkönen is undergoing a rally-break, when the next race in his calender is only at the end of May in Portugal.
Räikkönen switched from F1 to rally when he wanted less stress and more driving. The decision was supported also with Ferrari offering him full salary if he doesn't race in F1-level this year.
What's the difference in stress then?
- It comes pretty much differently. If the F1-world would go a few decades backwards in time then it would be the same as in rally now. Everything is pro-business in rally also and everything is done as well as possible. But it is a little bit more laid-back style and of course the surroundings are different.
- In rally you don't spend time at the pit stop but in the car in the middle of the forest, when you drive all the stages through two times. In service in the pit area we are only 30-45 minutes per day.
- And in rally there is not so much people as in F1. There is only the people you need, Räikkönen describes.
Jyväskylä main race
Finland's WRC-rally is of course Räikkönen's main race this season. Jyväskylä is the only rally, which he drove already last year.
- Even then I didn't get experience from the closing day. At least I saw the stages. Hopefully by then I have enough experience that I can drive a little bit faster and catch the top to some extent.
- It's the same as if now we would drive again the rallies we have driven so far. It would be a lot easier when you have driven them once before. I believe it somewhat helps.
- I aim all the time to the top. Otherwise there wouldn't be any point in driving. We knew already in the beginning that the others go pretty fast but the most important thing is that I can improve slowly myself. When you succeed in one stage then that in itself increases confidence.
The scale hasn't leaned yet
Räikkönen's career continues next year in either rally or back in F1. Kimi denies that the decision scale would be leaning towards rally when he has gained 14 WRC-points in the last two races.
- It hasn't turned in any direction and I have no hurry to make decisions. I have to see what is possible and what is the most interesting thing in the end - the thing which I enjoy and like doing the most. We will see it somewhere in a further point this year, Räikkönen said.

Kimi Räikkönen will surely get cell phone using Finns on a good mood with his light field humor in telephone operator DNA's commercial campaign starting on May Day eve.
-I must say that it was worth the switch. Now my phone bills are so small that there's something left for me as well, Räikkönen – one of the world's most well paid athletes – says to the camera in the commercial.
DNA's sales and marketing director Erik Sylvestersson and the advertising agency SEK came up with the playful rhymes for Räikkönen, who for once obviously enjoyed himself in the commercials filmed in Barcelona.
-The day of filming was pretty easy even though that kind of stuff has never been close to my heart. Everyone was helpful and everything was well organized. We were done in half an hour whereas in F1 a 30 minute thing could take a couple of hours when no-one knew what should be done.
