Kimi and Lotus set to take first 4 GP's ?

Kimi signed my cap & Lotus fleece jacket, no cold shoulder at all. I guess if he needs to be somewhere and you're annoyingly in his way (esp up a stairwell?) who can blame him?

He is usually cool if you say what's up first instead of just shoving stuff in his face and asking for an autograph. I've bumped into him twice last year, and each time I was able to get his autograph.

I'm shooting to get his autograph on my Stilo helmet this year!

 

Do you know Kimi personally? Lol.

I've been watching Kimi since he came into F1 and am a fan of his, but he comes off as a bit of a diva in this. Also, his hardcore fans are beyond annoying. Case in point, they can't accept that he was beaten by Massa and fired to make room for Alonso. It's where most of the Santander conspiracies come from.

 

The whole piece was to promote his "bad boy" image, that much is obvious.

 

How so? If he can cut pits tomorrow I guess it's possible, but it's going to be a challenge. Force India and Mercedes actually looked fast and they seem satisfied with their race pace. Ferrari and RBR both wisely pitted for new inters and that has paid off for them with the top 3 grid positions. We'll see how the actual race plays out though.

Rain, of course, can change everything...

 

You're right.
And

It will rain.

when and who it catches out in tire stops will be the biggest factor in deciding who wins.

 

With a 3 spot grid penalty for blocking Rosberg in qualifying, Kimi starts 10th, so a win looks like quite a long shot. His chances will be even less if it rains, which is pretty likely. If it does stay dry, the fact that Lotus is pretty easy on tires that degraded horribly in practice on a hot day Friday will be an advantage.

 

Well, now that's out of the way...
