They talked about his visit to the school on Wednesday. The journalist
said he was positively surprised by Kimi since he looked very happy to
be there and was smiling and laughing most of the time. He even took
time to answer most of the questions of the kids. The kids were very impressed
and kept asking "how do you go so fast?" At the beginning, they
welcomed him saying "welcome Kimi" in Finnish. All in all, the
journalist said it was a great event and that everyone was happy about
the day.
F1: I’m Not Under Pressure, Says Raikkonen
Written by: Adam Cooper, RACER Magazine
Kimi Raikkonen insists he’s not feeling any pressure, despite dropping back in the battle for the championship.
Following his retirement in Spain and eighth place in Monaco he has fallen 15 points behind the McLaren drivers.
“Why should I?”, he said in Montreal on Thursday. “I just try to do the best what I can with the team, and if we cannot do it, we cannot. We always try the best, and there’s no point to really take the pressure. There are always people who don’t like what you do or the think that you should do better things than you can do. I do my own way.
“It’s still too early. We need one bad race more and it can be a disaster, or it can swing the opposite way, the other guys can have a bad race, and it turns out to be good.” 
He said that five races into the season, he is feeling more comfortable in his new home.
“With the team I think so, but with the car, it’s not as we had hoped. I think in Monaco already it was much better and I was pretty happy with the car, but we didn’t get the results we were expecting because of my mistake, but I was much more happy and also in the last tests, so I think we’re getting there, to where we want to be.”
Kimi said that he expects the car to be more competitive than it was in Monaco.
“I think we should have a good chance here, we have a good package. It’s always difficult to say before the weekend, so tomorrow we will see how the car works and how we get everything running. But I’m pretty hopeful that we can have a strong weekend.
“Monaco has always been a special place for them [McLaren], when I was in the team even when the car wasn’t that good we always seemed to be strong there. So it wasn’t a surprise for me that they were going to be strong there. I think here is a much more normal place.
“Last year the circuit started to break down during the race, so hopefully they have fixed the surface 
and we can have a proper race, and not really avoiding the sand and all the pieces of dust.”
He admitted that the pre-Monaco test at Paul Ricard had given the team confidence in its Montreal aero setup.
“It’s not the same, but I think it’s as close as any other circuit can get to here. We had a good test, and the car was pretty strong there. It’s a different place, different time, different time and different country, so it can be completely in a wrong way, but I think what they know from years before, it should be OK. Like I said, we’ll see tomorrow what happens."
There you go then. Kimi isn’t exactly in any huge pressure or ‘pain’ as Ron Dennis suggested (below). Kimi knows what he’s talking about and he knows exactly what he has to do. And why don’t we just let him do his job? (I refer to the amount of criticism and scrutiny from other people towards Kimi.) Okay, we’ve gathered nearly a month ago that Kimi isn’t finding his potential since Australia, so bloody what? No need to hear it a thousand times and I’m sure Kimi is fed up with it, so, I guess he has more reason to start performing as soon as possible!
Dennis feeling sorry for Raikkonen
McLaren boss Ron Dennis has said he is getting no pleasure from seeing Kimi Raikkonen endure a difficult start to the season with Ferrari.
Although Raikkonen is one of the main threats to McLaren’s hopes of winning the world championship this year, Dennis has said he still wishes the Finn was having a better time.
Raikkonen has dropped 15 points behind joint championship leaders Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton after retiring from the Spanish Grand Prix and crashing in qualifying at Monaco.
"Drivers who have previously driven for our team are just that," Dennis was quoted as saying by the Press Association ahead of this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.
"Without exception I would say everyone of them is still a friend, even Juan Pablo [Montoya] who sought a career in America and there was a difficult end to the relationship. But it was not one that was painful enough to damage the friendship.
"In the end Kimi is a friend, and I’ve seen him struggle with his problems. I see him as a friend and not a competitor, and I don’t spend any time thinking about ‘what ifs’.
"All the guys that have driven for McLaren have given their best, and we’ve tried to give them their opportunity. But the past is the past, the future is the future, and now is now. "The reality is I don’t spend any time thinking about it, other than seeing a friend in pain gives me no pleasure at all."
I guess it’s a good thing that Ron wishes Kimi wasn’t having a rough time, at Ferrari this year. We all don’t like to see it, considering the tough times he’s had already. However, I wouldn’t say Kimi is ‘in pain’, well I hope he isn’t. He’s just struggling with finding his way with his car and maybe the relationship with Ferrari and it’s staff isn’t perfect but that’s life in F1. Alonso also didn’t have a perfect relationship with Briatore at Renault and Kimi and Ron did face their trials towards the end of their partnership, with the media pressure and all. But, is Kimi in pain? Metaphorically speaking, maybe. Of course it hurts him when he isn’t winning, let alone making mistakes which make life harder for him. I wouldn’t use the word pain, though. Deeply dissatisfied certainly! But I’m sure he’s feeling optimistic for the Canandian GP this weekend, and seeing those kids at the school in Montreal makes anyone smile. Definatly no point thinking too much into things, just focus and work hard, that’s all. So chin up and Keep Flying Kimi!
