Quote: Bradamante wrote in post #18They said that after the show finished, Kimi spent at least 40 min signing autographs among the fans.
He changed. Always when I saw him on autograph session I had the feeling it´s the worst thing for him to do. Or is it because the home race? I bet the fans loved it.
quote#Kimi7 #ItalianGP "I think if we look now we probably surprised ourselves a little bit. Obviously we expected a strong weekend but we knew this place wasn’t going to be our strongest. In the end the car turned out to pretty good in qualifying conditions, we had many good laps."
"It’s been a while so it’s nice to be here, especially at a home race for us and our best qualifying performance for us this year as a team. We’ll try to give it a good go tomorrow and get a good result not just for ourselves but all our fans and the Ferrari people who are behind us."
"In a way it’s a big surprise that we were this strong and ahead of the Mercedes. People always talk too much about Friday, but it’s a Friday and you focus on long runs and it’s not about the lap times always or what the others are doing. We just improved the car a bit and drove a bit better than yesterday and today in qualifying it worked out for us.
"We’re still not happy with second and third, but I think this was a place where we were expecting it to be a bit more difficult because of the circuit layout, but things have been working well for us.
"We said earlier that we will try to do our best and see where we end up. Obviously we want to at least keep the places that we have, but the main aim is to try to win races. We will do our best and hopefully that will bring us a good result." [via f1i.com]
