Kimi & Mass-Media

Is Ferrari like you expected it to be when you decided to move there?
''I had no idea at all what kind of team Ferrari would be. I really didn't know anyone there. But it's really good and nice place. How great that I 'came into the house'", Kimi sighs.

Räikkönen has made it clear since the beginning that it was Ferrari where he wanted to be. According to the champion the desicion was made ex-tempore. Nobody recommended Ferrari to him.
'' Really, there was just nobody who would have been familiar to me. I knew nothing. I just decided all by myself where I want to go. For sure I would have had many other places where I could have gone had I wanted to.''
For years Räikkönen's goal has been to win the championship. That has not changed in any way after this first title.
''Of course we head for the championship once again. When the season starts, then we see where we are. A race is always a different thing from testing.''

Räikkönen's main rival is either Hamilton like last year or then Massa his team-mate.
''I know what Massa is doing, 'cause I can see all his data, but anyone else I can't watch but from the outside, and there's no sense in that.''
Is Hamilton now harder than last year?
''I don't know if he's better or not. How could I tell, and what would it change [if I could?''
''He must be good, otherwise he couldn't have done well last year. I guess none realizes it. But I don't believe that in the end he is so different from the others'', Kimi consents to measure his rival who has created so huge stir.
Who you think is your fastest rival?
''Don't ask that. I haven't though about it. I just don't know. If we would put them all into similar cars people wouldn't have to ask stupid question,'' the champion jokes - honest to his style.
