Wrong way Kimi!

[vintly]

Loved it when Kimi tried using the back streets of Interlagos to get back on the track after going wide. He said:

“Where I went off you can get back on the track by going through the support race pit lane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year I'll make sure it's open again…"

In my book Kimi you can do whatever you like.

I would love to have heard from inside the helmet when he realised the gate was shut.

   I would too, - I'm sure it wasn't "Oh bother I'll have to turn round".

That is the first thing that came in my mind, what he was telling to the Crew..

"Open the gate" I guess

"Recalculating!"

[John S]

Can't lay claim to this quote, but it sure has a ring of truth about it.  

"Kimi heard an Ice-cream van and chased it down a culdesac before thinking of rejoining the race."  

[Scott]

On chat I suggested he was making a shortcut through the paddock.  I hadn't remembered him doing that one before though.

It would have been more fun if he'd given up, parked it, and gone for an ice cream.  Caterham would have scored their first point, and Lotus didn't really need a tenth place to finish their season off.

Then it would not have been the Kimi we know. He doesn't understand these complex number games, all he knows is racing..
