Dead drunk! For all of you that can’t find the connection between Kimi aka Iceman and drinking, let me just tell you, he’s known to throw wild parties and get totally messed up. To name just a few interesting escapades: throwing a party at home and later that morning his wife found him in bed with another woman, then another time he was so drunk that he fell of a yacht and the last time he and his friends wore gorilla costumes while drinking and riding (if I remember correctly) ski jets. But that doesn’t really matter. It’s just interesting to see Iceman turn into a party animal. As Walter Wolf said, he’s going to sit in the cockpit the next day (after he got totally drunk) and he’s going to drive as he should. Other drivers could never do that.

The most important thing is that he finally won the F1 world championship. He was very close two times so far and he finally made it the third time. The stakes were really against him this time. I kept my fingers crossed for him, but I thought the only chance for him to win was, if McLarens crashed with each other and by that put themselves out of the race or at least end up without any points. But Kimi would still need to end the race at least second to get 8 points, since he was 7 points behind Hamilton. The thing I really like about Kimi is, that he is really pushing it to the end. Always! No tactics. No dirty tricks like Alonso (he really reminds me of Schumacher, but he drove even dirtier) and Hamilton (he was slowing Kimi on last qualifications twice). A few races ago I couldn’t decide between Kimi and Hamilton. But now I finally saw Hamilton for who he really was, besides that he’s more of a safe driver. He’s not really pushing it like Kimi, he’s rather playing it safe. And that was also the reason that he didn’t win the championship. He could have pushed harder a couple of times, but instead he played it safe and finished the race 2nd or 3rd.
