I think all reports at this point in the season need a serious pinch of salt.

They are hardly going to say "we're a bit disappointed considering how much we are paying him but hopefully he will be a bit better".

Possibly a Lotus video, but quite interesting nonetheless.

He actually seemed genuinely happy to be there.

Good stuff.

I wonder whether rallying will have changed his driving style, he always had fantastic car control.

I think the first wet race might be quite interesting.

Who cares? He wont see the season out as he wont be winning or fighting for podium places & the whinging little tool will not be happy chasing his own arse all afternoon.

He got bored at Ferrari in a potentially championship winning car & he got bored in the WRC in, yet again, a potential championship winning car so how is he going to cope with running, at best, in midfield all year?

Simple answer is that he wont cope with it, he will start moaning & then he will quit. Just like he has done before.

Waste of time giving him the drive to be honest.

IMO.

Open forum - he should be allowed too. I like Kimi, I think his sulky demeanour with the press is fine. Don't have a problem with it. However, his attention span isn't renowned, and frankly he'd stand as much chance of being competitive this year riding an inflatable dolphin with a bottle of voddie in one hand.

I hope he has a great year, but I understand where the other post was coming from...

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing him run with other cars around him, it's been a while since he did that. If he can get some motivation going he's capable of dragging the car round faster than it wants to go. I think he might give some of the other 'mid field' teams a shock. I also think that being in a team that's not right up at the sharp end will reduce the pressure on him and he might just flourish.

As far as seeing him wringing the neck of that car, remember it's on ultra hard demo tyres, so it's moving a lot more than normal. Having said that, he's obviously not holding back, which is good to see.

He's still no Vettel when it comes to talking to the press, is he?

Looked like he had fun, so far so good, I'm looking forward to his return to the grid.

His point is valid, and perfectly reasonable. Do you just want prople to clap their hands like little schoolgirls or something? confused
