After the summer break everything has gone wrong. We haven’t been able
to get the result we have been waiting for. I could have won in Spa but
otherwise I haven’t been able to even fight for the top places.
This ain’t never easy but it’s hard to understand that it can
sometimes be this hard. It hasn’t been up to my will at least. I ain’t
no loser.
The season goes on and so be it. 3 races to go. A racer likes to
race. My attitude hasn’t changed in any way. I fight every time when
the lights go out and start pushing.
Last year I got 26 points from the last 3 races. When it starts working you get more points fast.
The WDC goes to the others. I can’t help it. I have to be a
realist. Next year I’ll give it another try. Now I just have to lower
the bar back to where it was so that I get the footstep marks put in
the right place and can start winning again.
My goals are exactly the same as they were a year ago this time. We
try to get both Championships to the same address in Maranello again.
It’s going to be a tough call and we’ll do our best so that the team
gets the results they need.
What means is that we get to cross the finish line and get maximum
points. We have again new things to our car and we should have a good
chance in Fuji to take the first two places.
And the rain doesn’t bother either. If it rains, then we’ll drive in the rain – just like last season’s quali and race in Japan.
Last time we had a great race considering how it started. We had
some hassle with the tyre judgments and took the wrong tyres to the
start. Still I managed to get up to 3rd place from the last place. It
was tough when you didn’t see anything but still the race went pretty
well.
Fuji is a nice track. It’s a challenge to find the right
compromises to the setups. In quali you have to get to the top but
still there are a few places where you can overtake.
And if it rains again, then the weather itself is the biggest challenge.
We have fixed a few new things so that the tyres would get more
warmer in the rain. Time will tell if it’s enough to fight for the win
if the track is once again wet and cool.
I relaxed after Singapore in Phuket with my friends. I flew to Tokyo in good time. I’m ready and I’m in a good mood.
Toni Vilander won on Sunday the GT-Championship for the second time
to Ferrari. Congratulations to Viltsu. The Championship is always
earned. You don’t win it by accident.
Thisarrived a little later than usual but here it is! And a big thanks to
Nicole for the translation from Finnish, Kimi’s mother tongue. Kimi
sounds as confident as ever, despite admitting the 2008 championship
defeat. Keep Flying!
FUCK ISRAEL 
Yes, he sounds upbeat as usual…..and he just wants to achieve the best for the team, that´s nice, that´s sportsmanship…"try to get the championships to the same address in Maranello again" ;pI´m cool with him accepting that the championship is over for him (even though I keep hoping!), but I don´t know, I´m relaxed about it because I know he tried his very best; maybe this "odd numbered year" wasn´t meant to be, and next year with everything new he´ll make a fresh start and will try to win again. ;)Keep flying Kimi – Keep flying Evenstar!!!
