So how does everyone think hes going to compare to the others that went before him?

Dont think he will be beating vettle's time anytime soon though

[PiB]

Excellant. He will be fastest - weather permitting of course.

[Park'O]

Suberb!

I have a feeling the interview will be short.

"How was it out there?"

"EEEeeeerrrrrrrr OK"

"And what did you think of the car?"

"st"

[Steamer]

Brill!

should make for an interesting interview too.

You say that like its a bad thing!?!?

[Henry Fiddleton]

Thats should be fun; can imagine JC being a fan of Kimi, yet their attitudes are poles apart (one can not shut up, and one can not be arsed to speak!).

I think he will nail it with his rally experiance.

Isnt Kimi some kind of b'stard love child of The Stig anyway?

[epom]

nope, he doesnt really look like Schumacher...

[Streps]

I'm looking forward to the interview.
Seems a cool guy

Wonder what his car history is like?
and the snowmobiles

[Rich_W]

If he's in the mood for a laugh he can (I'm told) be quite good value. Very dry sense of humour. If he's not, it'll be a disaster.

And I say that as a HUGE fan of his.

He did a 1:44.2

Where does 1.44.2 fit in ? And was it wet

According to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_test_track#K...

One would hope it was wet, which puts in 1.7 secs up on Boris Becker. If it was dry he matched Cole Trickle Tom Cruise.

Cue thousands of "OMG Kimi is teh best" posts..

I thought they did the lap on the day of filming? At least Kevin McCleod did when I went. I also thought they still did the filming the wednesday before the showing, meaning it should be filmed on the 7th if it is showing on the 11th.

Tom Cruise set his time in the Cee apostrophe D though.

(spot the guy who doesn't watch...)

ah, ok they use a different car, scroll down on that link a bit. puts him 0.2 slower than vettel, takes second spot from Rubens by 0.1

Yes, that's out of order.
