Kimis Minder ??

[Dunit]

I notice every time some one try to talk to Kimi he has the same Ferrari guy lurking on his shoulder.Are they concerned he may let something slip or give another Brazilian GP Quip?
Have not seen this with any other driver.

Probably a PR spokesperson to keep Kimi on the straight and narrow. Ferrari do not want him to say something too stupid.

It's just Luca Colajanni Ferrari's PR man.

.

"whatever you do kimi, dont mention bargeboards or traction control......"

[sstein]

All the drivers have these people from the team who are there when they talk to the media, I guess it's just a way for the team to keep an eye on what they say. You see the same person in all of Buttons shots as well.

A bit ironic that Ferrari impose a minder on Raikkonen, who supposedly joined Ferrari so that he could be a "free spirit".
Also ironic that they've given Raikkonen a minder to ensure that he doesn't say the wrong thing, when he doesn't say anything anyway.

It's standard practice across the paddock
Though u might of noticed that Red Bull's PR girl is a bit slow on her feet

"I'm gonna kick three colours of s**t out of the little b*****d!"

Would of been PR phrased

"I fully respect my fellow F1 drivers but i'm still going kick three colours of s**t out of the little b******d - where's my red bull"

Louise Goodman is Jensen's Honda Racing PR person?

I’m not one of DC’s biggest fans but loved an interview he gave when he had just joined RBR where he said words to the effect of “So long as I don’t say the Red Bull tastes like sh’t I can do and say pretty much what I like.”

I think so that is a good point

[heebeegeetee]

They're running a book at Ferrari on how many times he says "I think so" and "for sure".

I think Ferrari always have someone with the driver in interviews(usually recording too), Shuey used to always have a lady with a dictaphone just over his shoulder too.
