    Todt defends Raikkonen's new tattoo

    Friday, April 6th 2007, 11:31 GMT



    Ferrari team principal Jean Todt said on Friday he would readily dump a sponsor who was unhappy with his driver Kimi Raikkonen's new tattoo.

    The Finn got the tattoo on his right arm after he won his debut race for the Italian Formula One team in Australia last month.

    When asked if he approved, Todt said he was fine with it as long as his driver was happy.

    "I read about it. Of course, it was not part of the agenda, but the most important thing is our people," Todt told a news conference after Friday's free practice at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

    "So, if Kimi is happy to put a tattoo on his face, it's okay. If he asks me my opinion, I'd say better put it somewhere else so it is not so disruptive or cause problems for the future.

    "There are lots of things, smiling or not smiling but I don't care. If a sponsor would complain about the tattoo, I would prefer to change the sponsor to keep him happy."

    As Todt said, it's better to change the sponsors then. This is the 21st century.

    yep, today it's more original not to have a tattoo than to have one.

    I am not so keen men having tattoos but better than ear rings, I guess. What this tells us how much JT preciates Kimis's talent.Better chemistry in Ferrari than in Ron Dennis's kingdom or in Sauber.

    I heard an interview a while ago where a celebrity (cant remember who, may have been Ricky Gervais) was asked what kept him awake at night......

    he answered "Well, you know all those teen/20 something girls who get tattoos on the small of their back - well, thinking about what they will all look like when they are 80!"

    This is a late April Fool, yes? :

    Tattoos aren't something a boss can possibly have a say either way in anyhow - I've no idea how this made the news
