RALLYING KEEPS KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN BUSY NOW

Iltalehti 17.4.2010
1. Kimi Räikkönen, does rally taste like men's business after three WRC-rallies?
- Of course it tastes. It's really difficult and I still have a lot to learn.

2. Has driving a rally-car already given you big feelings? Can it even be compared to sex?
- Haha, it has nothing to do with that. It is a really difficult and interesting genre though.

3. Did your fist WRC-points in Jordan create screams of joy?
- Not really. Jordan was the most difficult race I have ever experienced in motorsport. And it wasn't exactly any speedy spectacle.

4. How important would it be for you to get on the podium?
- It's one goal. Of course it doesn't happen other than driving a lot but it's like that in every genre - you have to practise. You can't come into rally to just hang around.

5. Have the mistakes you had in the beginning of the season come from overtrying?
- In Sweden yes but in Mexico we lost our spoiler from the rear just before we rolled. I have rolled cars before too so I didn't have time to get scared. There were no mistakes in noting but I have to improve my listening.

6. Are you still shy to use the gas pedal when circumstances are so new and strange?
- Sometimes I get shy if the note is complete and I have a blind hill ahead of me. I have no problems as long as I see the road. I'll get more confidence through experience.

7. What things have changed from the time you started your F1-career at 20 years?
- Of course many things have changed in life and the genre has changed too but mainly my life is about the same as it was back then. I still do the same things.

9. When is it time to start a family?
- Now is not the best time because I'm still so busy. But of course the time of kids come someday.
