Kimi Raikkonen: "No Alonso win would be a disappointment"
Speaks exclusively to AS, looking happy and optimistic in his return to Ferrari, the team will be confirming to retirement: "It will be my last team."
Sepang
March 29, 2014 0:50 pm

Kimi Raikkonen does not disappoint, although we find that Iceman is sensitive like a butterfly. The Finnish speaking softly, as if each word will be produced by hundreds of weary Dwarfs inside his throat, short answers, accurate, honest otherwise. Ferrari's world champion in 2007, serving in a booth AS Scuderia in Sepang. All That Jazz ...

In 2009, this same circuit, stunned the world when he went to eat ice cream while the other riders were still in your car as it stopped raining and the qualification match. Will you have a favorite ice cream?

-The ice cream is just ice cream.

At least tell us a meal that you like more.

-I would not say I have a favorite food, I can only say that as much chicken.

-That was with Ferrari, a team returning and with that began in 2007 with pole and victory. Did you expect such a different start in 2014?

-The year 2007 has nothing to do with what we have now, with these cars and these new rules, we knew how he could go. We expected some difficulties, there are many problems in each area, we have to improve, but that's not the only problem.

- What is? The car does not suit your style, they say ...

-Not exactly a car that suits me, it's not exactly what I want. We are doing things to solve it, some parts for my style, but unfortunately we are not solving the problem for now.

- What do you need?

'It's a matter of settings, the configuration of the car. There is much work to do, we have small problems on one side and on the other, let's see if we can put it all together and take a step forward and not be afraid or enter into a state of tension that we need not only be has played a career.

-Therefore, no concern for now.

-No, we do better, win races, but it was not a disaster for Australia, that happens when you score. In addition, people who are working hard progress is assured.

-There were those who said last year he would regret leaving Lotus with a great car in 2013, but this year seems to go wrong.

'I'm happy here.

- What has changed in Ferrari on your first time?

-I see little change, what are the rules have changed and that change has had a major impact on the cars.

- What do you think is the weakest Ferrari?

-There are many small things that can make a big difference. Not one.

-A bit of history, we are in Malaysia where he won his first race in 2003, did a special sentiment?

-No, nothing, is a career like any other.

-Was to be expected. Another fact that might make you think: in 2002 was the youngest grill and now the oldest.

Yes, I read something, the truth is that whenever the opportunity is running well you have, you have to use it. That's already good.

-Someday you will retreat, have you thought what you will do after the F-1?

'When the time comes I'll think, I have not raised anything.

-Alonso, for example, said that Ferrari will be his last team, will be well for you?

'I'm sure it will be my last team now that I'm back. I will not be many years doing this work, then I'll start the second part of my life. I will try to do the best I can.

- How much time do we have to enjoy Kimi on track?

I do not know.

-Let's get back to Alonso, is the strongest partner who has had?

'It's hard to say. Every year is different, every car is different. Sometimes a car is better for the characteristics of a pilot tricky to compare. It is certainly very, very good, yes I can say, but you can not compare or rank in a ranking, you can not do that.

- Spanish is their first opponent this year, the most important, or are Vettel, Hamilton, Rosberg ...?

-Who has won in Australia, is the one with more points and now the man to beat. Rosberg goes first. The Mercedes looks like a strong car, see the next races.

- Fernando he puts more pressure than if I had another partner?

-No, I have always tried to gain my partner. It is normal. I want to do well and I'll be disappointed if I can not beat Alonso, but nothing more. It would be a disappointment, just that.

-They have a good relationship, buddy.

-My relationship with Alonso is good and always has been. Our common goal is to work together to improve things.

-Last year, Fernando said Massa was faster than you when they met as companions.

I do not care what people say.

-Is your current team mate.

I do not care.

-Tough champion. Vettel, four consecutive titles and encounters many problems in the first race.

-As we've had us in the first race, I am convinced that you have a good car and improve.

His German friend says that noise is crap.

He has changed a bit, not much, just a little lower volume.

- Would it make this Formula 1?

-What good would that be more exciting racing, but not so easy to change. You can make different rules, new parts, but the machines are always at the limit. And when you're on the edge better yourself is difficult, but so many years. Now they have made new rules to help us make it better, but it is not so easy.

And now let's change the sport. He spent time in the World Rally Championship, he said that he liked the F-1, are you happier now in the cars?

If not, I would not be happy here.

-There is Robert Kubica, who had a terrible accident.

-Yes, I'm Polish and it is good. Unlike the F-1 in rallying you pay a lot more expensive and any errors if you try to go to the limit at every turn of the way sooner or later something's wrong.

- The F-1 has something to learn from the rally?

-I think there are different sports.

Speaking of incidents, what can you say about the situation of Schumacher?

'It's a very sad story, I hope as soon as possible to recover.

Thank you Kimi

Good-bye.

Malaysian Grand Prix: New F1 weight rules forcing slimmed-down drivers to risk blacking out through dehydration
Mar 28, 2014 22:30 By Byron Young

Jenson Button says bigger drivers are being forced to lose weight 'like jockeys' while Lewis Hamilton can't bring his bling into a race
Grand Prix aces are risking blacking out in their 200mph speed machines just to meet crazy new weight demands, writes Byron Young in Sepang.
The heavier drivers are ­dehydrating before qualifying – despite the soaring cockpit temperatures of 50 degrees here in Sepang – so that their car is light enough to be competitive with smaller rivals.
And ahead of Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix, Jenson Button admitted he feared at the start of the season he would be among them because he weighs 12 stone.
His lightest rival, Felipe Massa at Williams, is just 9st 2lbs, the same weight as the average 11-year-old boy.
The new power units with turbos and hybrid systems are heavier than ­engineers expected, so they have turned to their drivers to slim down.
“It’s hardcore what people are doing,” admitted Hamilton.
“I’m OK but for the really heavy drivers, I can’t imagine how it is for them. There’s a minimum they can physically get to without cutting their arm off.
“You can go into qualifying a little bit dehydrated. I heard someone was doing that, exhausting themselves.
“And then the next day they can drink some more because the race is different. It’s like jockeys do.”
Hamilton is light at around 11st 3lbs but even he removes gold necklaces and his heavy watch for the fractions it could save.
“It’s an IWC watch and weighs about a kilo on its own,” he joked.
“You don’t want drivers being anorexic. It’s OK as long as you don’t get to an unsafe area.”
Button is one of the tallest on the grid at six foot but his ­intensive training regime and McLaren’s canny designers have found the saving elsewhere.
“Some guys are struggling,” he admitted. “I am sure they are dehydrating themselves because that is what I was going to do – go in a sauna, steam room, not drink or eat until after ­qualifying.
" I was going to do it and did all year until now, but it is a shame for the guys who have to do it.
“Luckily now I don’t have a problem with weight at all.
“It’s not right that it should be done. It’s in the regulations so we have to stick to them.
“I thought I would be tight on weight in Melbourne but I was fine so I can really eat now. I can actually eat carbohydrates and I feel better for it.”
Drivers have themselves to blame, though, because the issue was raised mid-way through last season and they made little effort to get the rules changed.
Massa is around three-and-half stone lighter than rivals like Nico ­Hulkenberg and Adrian Sutil, who weigh in at 12st 8lbs.
