Obviously there is something true. Even if Arrivabene didn't say Kimi's name in that interview at the end of race, he was clearly referring to him when he said "we have lost a podium". Kimi has always been a big topic for the media in the years. Being a Ferrari driver put him even more in the spotlight. You can't imagine how many comments the articles about him have here on the webpages. He always becomes a topic of debate among fans. Sometimes rumors are untrue, but he can't ignore them. He has already lost his seat at Ferrari once. Mistake or engine failure, his pace didn't convince completely last sunday. He has to be "perfect" on Saturday and on Sunday if he wants a break from critics.
Here the Sky interview in Monaco, extended version: https://www.facebook.com/263743060319498...17985158228613/ Some answers are "new" and there are more relax parts between Kimi and Valsecchi. It's so good to see him chatting friendly.

yeah but it's less harsh than to say "he has lost the podium". because they have lost a podium, that's a fact. Next race Kimi has to be close to Seb in quali and then we will see in the race but I really don't think we need to worry about his pace, it was fine in the races before.
It seems all this happiness in Kimi's F1 carreer this year, was to good to be true.
Lucky you who saw him win a Championship, for me, the thought of watching that it's almost gone now...
The only thing that doesn't let me lose hope, is the memory of Kimi leaving F1 in 2009, then watching him shovel snow, changing his own tyres, burning his ass inside a NASCAR pick-up truck and then watching him win 2 more GPs...
priceless.
...still, what a wonderful rollercoaster ride it has been.
I´m not ready to write and think over his obituary I hope for min. another year. He is very fast in the races. At one point the bad luck must be over. #Kimi2016
Grazie Tania, it has a lot more sense viewing it complete. Although it's even harder to understand Valsecchi's English than Kimi's... But we get the idea
