Maranello, 17 January –The first three “official” days of Kimi Raikkonen’s second stint with the Prancing Horse proved useful for him to familiarise himself with the technical aspects that go to make up part of a driver’s job wherever he is. In addition, it was also a chance for him to re-immerse himself in the special atmosphere only to be found at Ferrari, in a factory where dream cars are built and which has racing in its DNA. We also made the most of it here at www.ferrari.com to have a long chat with Kimi in the captivating atmosphere of the cockpit of a Ferrari FF as he drove it around the hills above Maranello. The interview we offer you here is split into various themes. We can enter Kimi’s world as he pulls a face, smiles and looks quizzical. It’s clear that the affection of the Ferrari fans is something special, which cannot be found anywhere else, just one more plus point that could make the difference. - See more at: http://formula1.ferrari.com/news/kimis-w...h.949iCjyS.dpuf

Yeah I ve got to agree with that. Personally I will never quite trust Ferrari, and I haven't seen anything up to date that would make me change my mind quickly.
It is amusing to see Kimi with Santander team gear, I wonder how they feel about Ferrari signing Kimi again. lol
Dont know where did Kimi say all this, but if so, its great!
quote Kimi 'excited' for Spagnolo challenge
Sunday 19th January 2014
Kimi Raikkonen is not expecting any issues when he teams up with new race engineer Antonio Spagnolo this season.
Returning to Ferrari after a four-year absence, Raikkonen will be working alongside a new race engineer.
However, the Finn, who famously told his Lotus engineer "leave me alone, I know what I'm doing" on his way to victory in 2012 Abu Dhabi GP, reckons it will be a good fit.
"We worked two years with him with data, he was the data engineer for me," said the 2007 World Champion.
"I know him from that time already so basically it wasn't too difficult and I've seen him at some races and we spoke to each other in the paddock last year.
"For him also it's a bit of a new challenge but he knows the systems and has a lot of experience.
"I think it should be fine.
"Obviously we have to start from somewhere and build things together but I don't see any problems or why it wouldn't be good.

Oh, just watched it again. At the end he did say "All new and exciting".
yeah, I was surprised. I think in another video he said exciting a second time.
It's definitely a different Kimi. I'm not sure if it's his age, or if he's really that glad to be back. Or what I'm hoping.. It's both. I think age has given him perspective. And as reluctant as I was to "give in" to Kimi returning to Ferrari, it's quite clear to my eyes he feels like he is "home."
Turrini's article really hinted at exactly that (at least for my understanding)..
