Would Kimi be an unappealing champion?

He's good if you need to tune your guitar while he's talking: B-Flat

Kimi can be as Dull as the grey sky on a dreary day during the post race conference, as long as the racing is exciting, isn't that what matters?

Though I imagine, they put a pole up, and a few strippers in that interview room, and I'm sure Kimi would come to life... :)

No!! It is not only you!!
I am continually amazed at fans pre-occupation with what I like to refer to the tabloid aspect of sport!
This guy is going to be a monster of a driver at Ferrari! Let him, as all other athletes speak with their performance.
Unless there is a big quality drop-off at Ferrari, Kimi stands an excellent chance too really smoke the field(definately not a sure thing)
If Kimi wins in a reserved social posture, I will find it apealing!
End of Story!!

I think this tabloid focus is due to a combination of factors. First, the British love their tabloids. Second, the season has not started.

The cult of personality has reached epic proportions here so it doesn't surprise me, I am sure we are not the only country like it.

Yes though The Brit's are famous for their Tabloid Papers, I believe this is a world-wide culture! I can't speak for other countries, in the good old U.S. of A. It is a national obsession! At least in Britain (and probably other European Nations) these rags are known for what they are, tabloid rags. We have tabloid fish wraps here as well. (In fact so numerous It boggles the mind) but I've always thought that there bunk about famous personalities, Elvis sightings, and close encounters with aliens were only consumed by bored house-wives!
I don't want to be a stick in the mud! Also I really don't have a problem with the personal misadventures of the drivers being discussed in these types of forums! I can just choose not to participate in those threads! I just take issue when the line gets blurred! I participate in this forum for opinion as well as information. I watch the news for current events. It seems more and more I turn on the local news and the stories are about TV reporters! Or updating current so called reality based TV show events. The weather report is” reality based”! Reports of world events are "reality based” Reality based television is nothing of the sort! They are just a way to get advertising dollars without having to pay real actors!
But I digress (It does feel really good to vent. I must say!) I guess I really just have a symantical objection to the way "appealing" is proposed, and approached in this thread. It's all in fun, and I'm not trying to dump on any individuals in this forum. I'm just so jacked up about the up coming season, I wish I could go to sleep tonight, wake up at 4:30am and turn on the pre race show for round one----Peace------- The "Taz"

Indeed, Ian, it used to be you and Turkmenistan, but after the death of President Saparmurat Niyazov on December 21, I'm afraid it's now only you. :( :p :

There's still that North Korean bloke.
