    The moments before the race can be tense for drivers and teams, as they fight off the attention of guests, media, photographers and hangers-on who find their way onto the grid. And Raikkonen was certainly unimpressed when a snapper knocked over some of his stuff – so he let his feelings known by pushing the fellow over.

    It was no surprise therefore to have heard over the weekend that Raikkonen would have loved to have lived in the days of cowboys and Indians. In a thoroughly entertaining interview in paddock newspaper The Red Bulletin, Raikkonen was asked where he would go to if he had a time machine.

    "If you're talking about racing then a time that was more fun, like the 1970s. I could have enjoyed it. And before that, maybe the Wild West."

    I love this guy! :)

    BTW: Got a copy of the Red Bulletin from Saturday at the Canadian GP. They got some awesome stories in there. As well as innuendo, rumors and gossip. Great mag!

    It is produced over the racing weekend by the Red Bull team, hence the name. It replaces the official press releases everybody else uses, but it goes far beyond that: They pick up on all kinds of stories around the paddock. The magazine is a freebie, but it ain't easy getting your hands on one. I found "my" copy in a VIP tent at the Canadian GP where some noble friend invited me.

    The nugget in the Saturday edition: A little stab at Ralfie and his sexual orientation. ;) Which was really quite unexpected, given that he left the scene a while ago and despite having married one of the hottest chicks on the planet.
