Kimi's interviews are the best. I watched one today that was done back in 2016 called My Awkward Interview With Kimi Raikkonen. If you haven't seen it check it out on youtube. He seemed to actually enjoy it. Lol.

Unfortunately, you've gotten into F1 when it is nothing more than a politically correct sanitary pad.

You need to go back a decade or three to really appreciate F1.

Watch Schumacher vs Hill, Prost vs Senna to see real racing when the driver was the difference.

But that said, good to see someone recognise that racing is more than just turning left on a track. Right hand turns do exist.

Yeah sports in general are infected with political correctness, power grabs and other stupidity. As Jags fans we see first hand how the NFL and sports media loves to hate our team.

The final lap in the final race of the 2021 F1 season caused quite a stir and a lot of people have a lot of different opinions about it. I don't know enough about the sport yet to really understand what happened and why certain decisions were made but on the face of it I was glad to see someone challenge Hamilton and unseat him. Whether it was a legitimate win we'll never know but I'll take it. I do know ending a season on a safety car lap is lame as heck so I think it was the right call for that reason alone.

I think Hamilton and Toto Wolff are just mad because they were finally beaten. Max Verstappen is a heck of a driver and Checo was a solid wingman. Most of the Mercedes fans think F1 decided a new team needed to win and saw the opportunity when the crash happened and manipulated things to make it so. Regardless, I was happy to see Carlos Sainz podium.

I have been looking at some of the older races. Evidently Kimi came in around the time Mika Haikkonnen (sp) was leaving the sport and they both raced against/with Schumacher. Fernando Alonso has been around for a long time. It's crazy to think he and Kimi are considered old for Formula One but that's how sport is.

Did you know Kimi is the reason Red Bull has an F1 team? I watched a video that explained it and he seems to have has the butterfly effect in F1 for some time. And he doesn't care one bit about it. Lol.
