Well, Kimi is A.F.F. (Again my Favorite Finn).
He's got the Ferrari period out of his system and looks like he's come back stronger mentally and physically. I've given some critiism to Kimi in the past because he can lose motivation and he's not too good at putting in the testing which was such a big part of the old F1. Now he doesn't need to worry about testing and can just jump in a car, he looks great. He was sharper in his racing and pushed as hard as he could.
Well done Kimi.
Indeed, after this quite incredible drive from midfield to second it looks like he has never been away. I thought before the season that these current regulations with fragile tyres suit him as in 2005, when there was big emphasis on tyre conservation, he was quite impressive. Perhaps this drive resembled some of Kimi's own drives in 2005, after he had started from midfield after an engine penalty on those days?Quote:

Agree, I have been very impressed with him this year, even when he finished second he was disappointed, so he is obviously looking for race winsQuote:

I think, will be very difficult for him.
Kimi, what a great comeback. I´m so glad that you finally gave us a win last sunday.
Now I´m hoping for another one in Austin :D
Yes, I would be very happy if he wins another race :)
