Yeah it was a riot. Kimi goes to turn it off and you can see the guy get scared.

Kimi was totally respectful when speaking with the guy. The test ride was great. The interviewer was pretty scared and he is a Finn used to fast driving.

I loved the part where he asks Kimi about the German guy with the lap record at that Ferrari test track (Schmacher). Kimi said yeah if it was dry we could try to beat it.

The US has 309 million people vice 303 million. We have added 28 million since 2000 or over 5 times the size of Finland.

Yes, that’s true. I can barely pronounce some of the rally car drivers’ names (a lot of Finns amongst the race car world). Like Estonian and Hungarian, Finnish is a Uralic language according to Asta, my friend’s wife. Most European languages are considered Indo-European.
