Kimi Raikkonen Race Quotations

When I did some Nascar races this year I noticed that I was increasingly missing the racing side, to race against each other, because in rallying you really race against the clock.

There's always a lot of talk about motivation to race, but nobody really knows what I do or what I think apart from myself, so I don't really care what people think.

I am hoping to have a less dramatic race this year.

It is going to be a nice race for both teams, I think. Last year our car was pretty quick there and I quite like the circuit, so for sure we will try to win the race and hopefully we can win the championship, too, for the team,

I think it was fairly obvious that Christian Klien made a pretty fundamental mistake. I am very disappointed because I had a great car set-up and very good race strategy.

I will try to win the race because we have a quick car. If we get through the first corner without problems, I can have a good race. I have nothing to lose.

I would have won the race but for that,

We had a perfect race and it was unfortunate for the team what happened in the last few laps because we could have had a one-two and we deserved it,

It was a perfect race for the team.

It seems to be always that when we have a bad race we ... we seem to win the next race.

It was disappointing what happened yesterday because the car was good with a good set-up and we started last. It's nice to see we were strong in the race and could have been strong in qualifying.

If Fernando keeps finishing behind us it is not possible to catch him any more, but we will do everything we can as a team to keep fighting and we were very unlucky today. We had a perfect race and it was unfortunate for the team what happened in the last few laps because we could have had a one-two and we deserved it. I was happy with the car but we deserved to have both cars on the podium.

Where I went off, you can get back on the track by going through the support race pitlane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year, I'll make sure it's open again.

You don’t drive races on paper.

Im winning races, Im still challenging for the world championships, the team is fantastic and I have a great relationship with everybody here - so why would I want to even consider changing?
