Kimi Raikkonen Q&A

"It wasn't normal, because suddenly the steering wheel was in my hands, and I didn't have anything to do any more. I was just wondering where I was going to end up!"



"No, it just happened suddenly when I was accelerating up the hill. It was just came off completely into my hands, and then the car just started to pull to the left."



"I tried to put it back, but it went left straight away, and then it was too late already. Maybe one metre before I went out of the circuit I stepped on the brakes, and it slowed the car, and turned it round a bit. The nose touched on the wall, and that's why I was a bit lucky."



"Yes for sure I could have been in sixth place. I was a bit unlucky, but one day it will happen."



"Yeah, for sure it was the best one so far. Let's hope we can keep it up like this. It wasn't really a difficult track to learn. For me it was a pretty normal circuit, not very special."



"It doesn't really make any difference."



"Of course quite a bit, because you're learning all the time, and you get more confidence. It's quite a bit easier now, because you know what's going on."



"It's just easier. There's nothing really special that you didn't know, you just get more confident and you can push harder."



"It's quicker than what I used to drive, but I had quite a bit of testing - I did 5000km before the season, so I was pretty ready."



"Not really, because you learn F1 only when you're racing in it. You can't learn before."



"I don't know. For sure it's not going to make any harm if you a couple of years somewhere else, but if you have a chance, I'm sure anyone would take it and go straight into F1."
