Cool Kimi Ignores Tyre Menace

Recommended Posts

Kimi Raikkonen is taking a typically cool approach to Michelin's Indy F1 tyre debacle. McLaren's Finn, desperate to further close the gap to championship leader Fernando Alonso, vowed not to worry about a Ralf Schumacher-like failure on the flat out oval banking.

"I think they'll be ok," the 25-year-old said after snaring a front row look at the first corner in qualifying. "Maybe we need to be careful but I will still go as fast as I can. It's a little bit difficult. Michelin is telling us what they think should be done but we want to go out and win the race."

Pole sitter Jarno Trulli, meanwhile - at the wheel of the offending Toyota, accused of running dangerously low tyre pressures on Friday - admitted to not feeling totally confident with the car. "I don't know what will happen," he acknowledged. "I don't think it's our car, it's not set up and it's not pressure -- it's something else."
