As long as he keeps finishing outside of the top 8 each race, I don't care what he sounds like.

Agree. That video is doctored. I think Kimi has laughed* a few times on camera, a real improvement from Mika H

That's exactly WHY a lot of people like Kimi... myself included. He isn't a buddy buddy charismatic celebrity. He doesn't give the other drivers bro-hugs after every race. He reminds me of the drivers from days past.

"You give Kimi car, Kimi drive fast"


That's it. He's simple, and I'm a fan.

Exactly. He isn't my favorite driver on the grid, but I have a ton of respect for him just being himself. Too bad he can't do anything for car development.
