BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 I don't know what you call personal attack, I was talking about drivers and only drivers until someone else mentioned Kimi's fans and all I said about fans in true and I don't have to retract from the truth, just read my comments and prove me wrong and I will never post here again. I also checked and did'nt see from your latest postings so maybe Andres is refering to previous post's of yours... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AleHop 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 I very much agree with Andrés. you kimi fans! you are easier to wind up than alonso fans. I never get wind up but I enjoy confrontation a lot especially when talking against Alonso, just watch and you'll see who are the ones that get winded up, give me a couple of races and you'll see them complaining like a Nancy about the treatment they are getting here, they've done before An obvious personal attack? For many months, years maybe, there've been two and only two Alonso fans posting on these forums: Andrés and myself. It's not the first time he does just that and, what's worse, he's proud of it. He's bragging of being in some sort of crusade against Alonso fans here. Feel free to reply, I may not reply back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 lol...quite funny... Kimi Raikkonen is still up to the task of performing at his best in Formula One. That is the claim of Pedro de la Rosa, who in 2006 was the famous Finn’s race teammate at McLaren just before Raikkonen – now 32 – switched to Ferrari and won the world championship. The so-called ‘iceman’ has been out of F1 for two years and on his comeback in Australia last week dropped the ball with a miserable qualifying performance. It has emerged Raikkonen came into the pits to change the tint of his helmet visor, and could not get back out for a crucial final qualifying run. According to Helsingin Sanomat newspaper, Raikkonen described the incident as “a little f*ck up”, and a day later had to be reminded on the radio about the meaning of blue flags. De la Rosa, however – who was a mere spectator in Melbourne after failing to qualify with HRT – said Sunday in Australia was “a fantastic race performance by Kimi”. “Kimi is a phenomenal talent and definitely one of the best drivers I have ever seen,” the Spaniard is quoted by another Finnish newspaper, Turun Sanomat. “Kimi and his team (Lotus) look really competitive. My guess is that they will be the biggest surprise of the season,” added de la Rosa. F1Zone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoolMonkey 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 Funny how various F1 media websites go on about Kimi not knowing what a blue flag is. He knew what a blue flag was, but rather was asking why they were being waved at him, or that's how he perceived it anyway. Turns out they were for the other cars around him. Yet no doubt the story will be reguritated again to make fun of Kimi and how he's not fit to drive in F1 because he doesn't know what a blue flag stands for. Annnnnyyyy minute now....

HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 That's exactly what I was going to say, KM. Anyone listening to the broadcast would have known that when Kimi said "whyamIgettingalltheblueflagswavedatme?Iampassingpeople" that he was clearly saying "My dear chap on the pitwall, can you please refer to the FIA regulations and please inform me on the meaning of these blue flags that are being waved at me? Currently I am unsure of what to do....should I continue passing everyone?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KoolMonkey 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2012 Haha, good to see other people see the light side of things. http://www.planetf1.com/features/7614078/Kimi-s-Quick-Guide-To-F1-Flags So, just in case Kimi is feeling a bit rusty about the flags he might see out on the track - none of which he's taken much notice of over the years - here's a refresher.Blue Flag Meaning: You are about to go a lap down, NOT, you are about to go down on a Lap (or in a lap-dancing club) Yellow Flag Meaning: Think about slowing down. Double Waved Yellow Flags Meaning: Oh, don't bother, it's probably a lot of fuss over nothing i.e. like when Takuma Sato blew engine smoke all over the exit of Eau Rouge and you went steaming through at top speed. Orange Flag Meaning: There's oil or debris on track, or as Takuma once said, "very slippery oily stuffs" Green Flag Meaning: You must drive in an eco-friendly manner from this point on. Red Flag Meaning: Vitaly's gone off somewhere again. Red Light at End of Pitlane Meaning: In about five seconds time Lewis is going to smash into the back of you. Black Flag Meaning: Race Control has been taken over by pirates. (Normally with a number showing how many pirates) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djoz 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2012 To all the Kimi fans out there... I am sure many might have seen this interview of Kimi after he completed his first test at Sauber. Surprising to see him not change a bit over these years. For ppl who think he does not communicate to the engineers or does not know cars. During the course of this interview there is amention of how does he know cars so well. Great interview and it has subtitles. Enjoy the video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
