The Question: Last year Sochi, this year Mexico, next year Baku in Azerbaijan; three new tracks in three years. Are you looking forward to new tracks or do you regret not returning to the eliminated tracks in the past like Imola, Magny Cours, Istanbul Park or Valencia?
What Kimi said: It’s always the new places that are quite similar, designed by the same guy, so I’m not saying that they’re not good but they are more the same. I enjoy the older, traditional circuits. You maybe didn’t like Magny Cours, I liked it, not many people, quiet, easy. It was one of the best places to go! I liked the older, they looked a bit nicer, a more normal feeling than when we come here and everything is put – in this case – in a more desert area. I prefer there, it’s easier for people to go to – for us. We go wherever the race is. The weekend itself doesn’t change. We have the same people as here, the timetable is more or less (the same) and the same things happen.
What he might have meant to say: It’s always the new places that are quite similar, designed by the same guy, so I’m not saying that they’re not good…. Oh wait, I am actually saying they’re not good. In fact, most of them are rubbish. Malaysia, China, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi yawn. Russia, Mexico… boorrrring. Kimi just want to go Spa. Kimi like Spa. Kimi win at Spa. OK, wake Kimi up when we get to Spa again….Zzzzzzzzz.
