First WRC points for Raikkonen

 

Former Formula One champion Kimi Raikkonen says he achieved all he set out to in the Jordan Rally, and believes the experience gained will stand him in good stead on the next round in Turkey.

 

Raikkonen?s debut WRC season with the Citroen Junior Team got off to a shaky start in Sweden when he drove into a snow bank, and got worse on the next round in Mexico when he rolled his C4 WRC off the road. But in Jordan, only his eighth-ever rally, a largely mistake-free performance netted him a top ten result.

 

Eighth place was Raikkonen? best finish in the World Rally Championship, and secured him his first drivers? championship points.

 

The 339 competitive kilometres of the Jordan Rally was the longest time that the former Grand Prix champion has ever spent in a rally car on gravel, and now he is looking forward to more action in Turkey at the end of the month.

 

"From the beginning my goal was to get to the end of the rally and I'm really pleased that we've been able to do that even though the conditions were difficult," said Raikkonen. "As the stages went on I've learned more and more, and my confidence has grown bigger as well. We came to Jordan with very little experience of the car on gravel and now we've practically doubled it. I'm getting to know the car better now, but the important thing as well is that I've really enjoyed these three days. We're making progress, which is why we are here, and hopefully this will continue on the next round in Turkey."

 

Kimi's co-driver Kaj Lindstrom also enjoyed his first visit to the Jordan Rally, scoring his first points as a co-driver since finishing third with the legendary four-time World Champion Tommi Makinen on the 2003 Rally Great Britain.

 

"It's been a very good event for us," added Kaj. "Kimi's speed has been really impressive for someone who has hardly been driving any rallies at all: he's already doing the same sort of times as people with much more experience. The key to this event was just making sure that we got to the end with no mistakes - and this is only the start. We're going to be seeing a lot more of Kimi in the future..."

Grande R?ikk?nen :woot: !

 

Il talento ce l'ha dovunque vada, peccato solo sia un tipo da piede pesante e basta, fatto che nella Formula 1 attuale non ? sufficente. Sapete per caso quale sia stata l'ultima volta che un pilota ha fatto punti in carriera in ambedue le categorie?

[The-Flying-Finn 4631]

Non saprei, ma forse pochi sono stati licenziati e deportati nel mondiale rally

 

 

 

E' arrivato ottavo, quindi non si pu? neanche dire che con il vecchio punteggio non avrebbe preso punti

WRC Pirelli driver blog - Kimi Raikkonen

 

Blog three: Wednesday 7 April. 0900hrs.

 

"Looking back on it now, I think I would have been quite surprised if somebody had told me before the season that the first drivers' points I would score would come in Jordan. Of all the rallies I did so far it was the most difficult, but still I ended up with four points for finishing eighth.

 

Rallying seems to be one of these sports where the more you learn, the less you know. What I mean is that just when you think you have one problem solved, you realise how much further you have to go.

 

But actually, this is exactly how I imagined it would be. I never expected to come in and be straight into the front, just as I wouldn't expect somebody like Sebastien Loeb to come into Formula One and be straight at the front. Most drivers are naturally impatient - you want everything, now. But when you start something from the beginning, you have to control that impulse.

 

I'm actually enjoying the process of learning all over again; it's like my early days in Formula One. It's not that Formula One got boring for me, but you get very used to something if you do it for long enough, and rallying has given me a great change of scene at a time when I needed it.

 

As for the future...who knows? I'm not even thinking about it. At some point in the year, maybe halfway through it, I'll have to start thinking about what to do next, but until then there's no point in worrying about it. Let's just say that for the moment I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. Rallying has always been a dream of mine since I was a kid, and now I get the chance to live my dream. How many people can say that? Motor sport is so pressured and commercial all the time, that it's easy to forget the reason why you started to do it in the first place; because it's the most fun you can have. This year is all about that for me.

 

I have a bit of time off now before the Rally of Turkey, which I think should be a slightly more straightforward event for us than Jordan. From what I hear the surfaces there should be more consistent, which will help me a lot, although the temperatures are going to be the same - or maybe even hotter. Although I sweat quite a lot that's never really bothered me: I mostly don't notice it. This ice man doesn't melt...

Sono strane le parole di Kimi....Che torni veramente in f1 il prossimo anno??

[The-Flying-Finn 4631]

Non torna pi?. Non ci sono i presupposti. Se trover? una macchina (WRC) anche per l'anno prossimo far? un'altra stagione. E' li che gira la questione.
