    Kimi is a man of few words... and few emotions... and few facial expressions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,994 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Hahahaha! 'Come on Kimi, let's see you smile' :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,940 ✭✭✭✭skipper_G


    Vettel was pretty gracious there, it pains me to admit it but I have a grudging respect for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,991 ✭✭✭Mike Litoris


    Kimi is deadly! "Just get me the f?ck out of here"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,026 ✭✭✭H3llR4iser


    Mmm...zero overtakes race if I haven't missed some in the middle of the group? Although this track is quite cr@p anyway (as most of the new ones are).

    Great for Bottas, I have a feeling this win is mostly his own doing, he's always been on fire on this track - Mercedes wasn't really anywhere in Sochi, the car was nervous with the rear end all over the place.

    Good point Bottas. He won that race on the restart!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,994 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Bottas has the look of a kid who has to sit down and talk to their weird uncle at family occasions about him - this is the best podium in ages :D

    Eddie :" and we'll go see toto later ?"
    Bottas: " Eddie cop on to ****, you'll get me in trouble."

    I am happy for Bottas, even if I am supporting Vettel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,991 ✭✭✭Mike Litoris


    Bahaha, Kimi just fecked off at the end there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,994 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Bahaha, Kimi just fecked off at the end there!

    And Vettel telling Bottas to stay and enjoy it. Going to be a great post race press conference!

    Good to see somebody Irish involved in the f1 podium. Considering how quiet the Finns are the interviews were pretty good

    Well it's probably getting close to his public interaction limit for the day.

    You really have to love the way Kimi doesn't give a s!?t about media interaction.

    I'd say his idea of heaven would be showing up on Friday, and spending the weekend driving the car in absolute silence. No media, no engineers, just bliss.

    Felipe having none of the questions about vettel.

    Lol, Eddie..."I'm an irish prick"

    Toto struggling to explain Lewis's lack of pace on both channels! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,263 ✭✭✭robyntmorton

    Nobody denied it either!

    Ms


    Delighted for Bottas winning. He drove like a champion and never let the pressure from Vettel get to him. Lewis not there at all this weekend. Vettel done well but just not fast enough today to get back past Bottas.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Super race for Force India again. 4 DOUBLE POINTS finishes in a row baby. Do you like it?!

    Yeah, really like that driver pairing.

    On another surprising note a McLaren actually finished a race.

    Oh and so did Stroll, finished P11


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,026 ✭✭✭H3llR4iser


    Last few laps of the race, backmarkers to negotiate with, temperatures to keep an eye on, tire wear to manage, your direct opponent breathing down your neck waiting for an opportunity to pounce, the smallest mistake could cost you everything.

    Bottas: "There wasn't much going on, nice and quiet like home".

    You gotta love the Finnish :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,709 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    Stroll beat two cars, the Saubers no less.

    This too shall pass.

    Just rewatching the Massa incident there, nothing in it at all imo.
