    "But reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen is not a fan of using simulators to prepare for unfamiliar circuits."

    "To be honest, that's something I don't like," the Finn admitted. "I've always been able to get to know a new race track very fast."

    Now that is an open mind, if there ever was one.

    I would say that resistance to new technology or supplemental methods to learn a new track is more the sign of a closed mind, no?
