"Formula 1 needs more Räikkönen"

According to Nelson Piquet junior they would need more characters like Kimi Räikkönen in F1

- F1 has changed from sport into business. It's better for the sponsors to hire a robot who does his work and goes home and doesn't show up in any photos drinking, Piquet said to UOL Esporte.

- For the sake of the sport and the audience it would be a good thing to get a different character like Räikkönen there. Everybody knew he liked drinking and he didn't care about it, Piquet continued.

Piquet told that he is a good friend with Räikkönen's manager and that he also enjoyed being in Kimi's company even though many have wondered over it.

- Sometimes you can see from people's expressions that "I don't believe this, he is boring and always expressionless". Yet he is funny and enjoys going out, Piquet told.

Piquet critisises Lewis Hamilton. The men knew each other already from GP2.

- I never had anything against him but he was a more closed person, in some way even weird. He comes from a different culture. I have always got along better with other Brazilians, Piquet told.
