    I think he's stated in the last few years that he'll drive until he doesn't want to, so as stated above, if some team has offered him millions to drive the last few years I don't blame him for doing it. The championship year, beating a now 7 time and 2 time world champions by 1 point each, just an awesome story!

    Good article. Unfortunately, I will always think, Kimi, together with Alonso was the biggest What IFs in F1.

    Kimi should have at least been a double WDC. Not One. Just like Alonso...at minimum, a 4 time WDC.

    I didn't know it was for sale for that long.

    Shaking my head as to why he would sell it. He must have his reasons.

    I think severe lack of use, really...He's always involved with the kids, and living in switzerland especially driving the F12 TDF in the manner required, there's not many ways to lose your license quicker. He (used to?) drive about in a Roll Royce Wraith a lot but Minttu seems partial to their Urus now.

    I align 100% with Kimi’s comments in Autosport.com that F1 is “full of bull ****” “much more than is seen from outside.”

    We all know it, but would prefer not to believe it.

    I remember commenting during the Spa rain delays that the best thing F1 could do would be to grab 20 karts and send the drivers out on the karting track. We'd not only have seen some incredible driving, but also have seen the drivers having tremendous fun.

    The article states the race at WGI is in Aug and then says October, but the NASCAR website has the race on August 21st. This just might be the year I go watch a NASCAR race for this reason!!

    I usually watch the Glen, Mid Ohio and Road America races. Road America
    is always must-see.

    I’m going to the Nashville race next month (my first ever NASCAR) courtesy of a sponsor. I have no idea what to expect, but was told to bring headphones! Now I have an extra mission to try and score an invite to WGI!!

    He is not smiling at or for the camera. The stewardess is about to hand him his ice cream and vodka.:cool:

    Lovely to see him ripping around VIR - there is always something special in seeing “the pros” at a track you know.
