We don't know the fuel levels etc. but according to Mika Salo who was at the trackside, Kimi was on the limit and up to speed straight away. That's pretty good for a guy who's been rallying and having fun the last couple of years.Quote:

Then the real set-up stuff can begin.
Long gone are the days of bolting on a new part, going out and blitzing a lap to see if it goes quicker, simply because the simulators are now so accurate!
either way he went quick and that is good for the media around him, his own personal state of mind and sends out a good message to sponsors etc. I dont thin we will know the true pace of cars until Saturday Qualy first race.
This was an epic Sunday afternon for me. What a drive Kimi, from 11 to almost 1 place.
And congratulations to Lotus, the car is almost as fast as The Red Bull now.
Kimi is back for real!!
I too was very happy to see Kimi do so well. I think he made it clear last race he was back for real, but they simply had a strategy that killed the tires.
I hope Lotus can keep the car strong, as it would be nice to see more of Kimi on the podium.
Well, at the moment this partnership seems to be working out fine. Car is good and Kimi is driving consistently to deliver points and if the opportunity arises, even more.
have nothing against Seb or RBR but I was cheering on the Kimster today
Congrat's to Kimi and all of his fans. :beer:
Was I imagining things, or was Kimi down-right talkative in the post race interview? ;)
Think he was as he use to, but it showed that he was a bit disappointed.Quote:
