but it was Kimi's day, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... I know What I'm Doing." ya gotta love it!
the after race in the drivers lounge said it all, Kimi and Seb talking, joking, back slapping each other and Nando all by himself
Texas will be one hell of a race
That was hilarious!! I about fell out of my chair when I heard Kimi say that, LOL! He just doesn’t seem all that “mirthful” in interviews, I just chalk that up to being focused. Still, it was very funny!
and Seb saying "fukced up" and DC telling the audience that English is his second language so you'll have to excuse him was priceless...
