Ask Kimi! – Part 2

http://www.lotusf1team.com/Kimi-100-Sebast...-Kimi-Part.html

Essi Kimi:
 Why do you always wear a cap and sunglasses, even when there is no sun?[/b]

KR: I like caps and I like sunglasses. I have very sensitive eyes so I have to protect them with the sunglasses.[/quote]

Noémi Kovács: Have you ever got something special from your fans?
KR: I receive a lot of gifts from fans… they can be really inventive and it makes me smile. They remember my birthday, they send their congratulations and their supporting slogans in Finnish. That’s something special, isn’t it?[/color]




Cindy Idier: 
What will be your revenge against Sebastian Vettel after what he did on the podium? Did you see the pictures?
KR: Yeah I saw that, it was funny. The revenge will come soon enough, I hope! Getting on the first step of the podium would be a good start.





Steve Jones:
 What is your favourite activity outside of Formula 1?
KR: I like a lot of things… all kinds of sports and games where there is an element of competition. Ice Hockey is my current favourite while it’s still time for winter sports.[/color]

QUOTE

Oszter Tamás
: What situation makes you nervous on the race track?
KR: If somebody is doing something really stupid. But luckily right now the grid is very talented!

Sarah Moreau: Can you explain why you always perform so well at Spa?

KR: I really like the track so I guess that helps. I’m looking forward to racing there again and hopefully come home with a good result for the team.
