    In an otherwise dissapointing season for Kimi, he has one thing to be happy about - the DHL Fastest Lap Award. Kimi already has 10 fastest laps this season.

    Also, one more fastest lap in the final three races and he breaks Michael Schumacher's single season record.

    He's been a great help in my fantasy league due to the fast laps -- but I would really prefer he finish the race higher in the points. It's frustrating to see him score the fastest lap 4 laps from the end in 7th position.

    I was thinking the same thing. Kind of a hollow award when you can't finish a race lately.

    To DHL it does. To me, it doesn't-not under the current points system. It should be 1 WDC point for pole, 1 point for fastest lap, and for Ferrari, 1 point if they don't f#$k up a pit stop....

    the thing is, it's totaly different if Kimi actually deserved that award. i don't think the last 10 races, he's been driving like how a champion should drive. too much of mistakes, then just a shrug, and say 'i was giving it all'.

    i just think he's just lost motivation after his exhaust parted company with him in France.

    Okay, this is getting on my nerves:

    You can lose a war, or loose the hounds of war.

    There's an important difference between loser women and looser women. ;)
    You don't want to lose women, but you might want two loose women.
    (Or Toulouse women, if vous parle francais. :p)

    Just remember:
    L0se (zero)
    LOOse (use your imagination :p)

    If you try to leave the pits before the fuel rig is loose, you can lose the race.

    When Kimi crashes out of a race, he might be a loser.
    After a few drinks is when Kimi gets looser. :D

    (Bars: where loose women get tight. :D)

    I wonder if DHL is really happy to be connected with Kimi. A quick package...that does not arrive.

    Aha, thanks.

    Since English is not my native language, I'd say that was loosed, err, lost in translation. :)
