Great news :D . But I do have to agree that he came across as 'not even bovvvered' in his last season in F1.

Didn't he always? Nobody knows if that was really the case but what I do know is that Finnish has what you call a "flat" intonation and that comes across quite strongly in the way Kimi speaks English. Couple that with a closed personality not uncommon to a Finnish male and the guy may appear dull and uninterested from a foreigner's perspective even if he isn't.Quote:

I don't think he ever sounded or looked motivated or even showed a lot of over-the-top celebration after winning important races throughout his career, whether it be his first ever victory, his amazing last-lap victory at Suzuka 2005 or his first ever victory for Ferrari or even his championship winning race in Brazil 2007.Quote:

Kimi has always been low key and did his job on the race track, that was to drive really fast when motivated, not beat his chest or show his finger to the camera or slather the camera with a wet kiss. He has a lot of fans who like him for that. :)

7 WDC and 91 wins doesn't equate to a successful wardrobe either then :p :
He lost his Mojo, I agree, but I think he was understandable unenthusiastic. Lets hope that he's found it again.Quote:

I know these are bad times with the recession and all, but he doesn't have to buy second-hand clothes from the circus or Boy George to save money either. :pQuote:

Doesn't seem unmotivated to me, this is from Spa 2009. Must be the KERS though, with that you can pass without motivation.
