Well there isn’t much to tell the grandchildrenabout my races in Germany. Although something’s gone more or less wrong
everytime it doesn’t mean that I don’t dig these tracks – especially
Nürburgring.
It should never be down to luck but in some weird way it feels like luck never travels with me there.
The last time two years ago with Ferrari we got pole but then in the
start water started coming and things got complicated. In the final
game we would have got a good result with our strategy but even then
something broke in my car.
My hands are now crossed up to the elbows that this time everything falls in place and we would get a good result.
The team has been grinding away for two weeks again and we should have
new blocks in the car to give us more speed. In Silverstone we didn’t
quite hit the right spot with our improvements. Let’s hope that we are
now more competitive.
At least the track should suit our car better than Silverstone did.
Still it doesn’t change the fact that a good car in Nürburgring means
a lot if you want to make it there. On Friday we will get an impression
of our chances. Won’t promise anything beforehand.
Of course the podium would be a positive thing and a signal that we
have caught up with the others. I mean we haven’t got anything more
than one prize from the whole season. You have to be a realist. The
goal is to do our best every time. Nine races left, I’m sure a lot
still happens and I have a strong belief that we are making progress
all the time.
The break did me good. It was cool to enjoy Finland’s summer. I played
tennis and spent time at my wife’s brothers birthday. And I decided to
participate in Jyväskylä’s rally. We already drove a test on gravel and
try to drive some more until we start making notes.
I’m grateful to Ferrari when the permission to drive this rally came.
When the team has no tests it’s cool when you have time to do something
else. Rally is only fun for me. For sure I’ll be going fast there too.

In China, we believe "When misfortune reaches the limit, good fortune is at hand. "It’s not a good year for Kimi. Maybe he will get some good luck in Germany this time…who knows :DGo Kimi!!!!

I was so pleased when I heard he was participating in the rally. I can’t wait to see him speeding along them roads in Finland. Anyway, about the German GP. I don’t want to become too positive, only to be dissapointed after the race- like Kimi said we -need to be realistic. Hopefully this circuit will be better-suited to the F60, because the Nürburgring has slower corners, like at Monaco.I really hope that the new parts allow Ferrari to close the performance gap to Brawn and Redbull, but the thing is, most teams have new parts to improve their performance, which means Ferrari need to have made a huge jump to get where they want to be.But, I will be supporting Kimi all the way.. GOOO KIMI !!
