The media did hurt his PR-image starting from 2008, that's when he was sort of written out of Ferrari and F1, in the media.
Lopez listened to people who bought all that was said about Kimi and he thought he made a smart move when getting a contract with Kimi where he didn't have to pay much. They had thought out that if they promise bonuses to Kimi if he scores over 100 points, then they wouldn't have to pay any bonuses, since Lopez said in an interview that he was told that Kimi would be this bla bla bla who is unmotivated and has lost his skill etc.
Kimi scored over 200 points and Grosjean could have stayed home every race and still Lotus would have been 4th in WCC-standings.
So in a way all the bashing in the media worked for Kimi, not so well for Lotus though
It was great to see him back on the track again!

Just read from a Finnish newspaper that Kimi and his wife have separated. How that affects his performance remains to be seen...
“Leave me alone!”

I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that it will not hinder him at all. In fact I don't think it will make one iota of difference.
May the forza be with you

Well put Koz, you guys know I'm just having a little sport. Beckham you say? ailor:
What about Kimi? I'll just say I'm damn glad he is back in F1. Here is a pic I took of him going into turn 15 at the Circuit of the Americas. Someday I may get around to cropping these pics I took at the race but I don't know when if at all.
May the forza be with you

Nice to see you here Wolfie!!
I´m very much looking forward to the season hoping that Kimi will do well.
Kimi and Jennis separation, it was in the cards for a long time sadly. Here´s hope that they find there way back to each other.
