Yes, he (Kimi Raikkonen) just wants to drive the car fast and win races. Remember Indianapolis in 2005 when all the Michelin runners failed to compete? Well, I was not convinced he was going to pull into the pits with the rest of them. On the grid he was adamant that he just wanted to go out there and race and we had to make it very clear to him that it wasn’t the case of ‘if’ the tyre would fail, it was actually a question of how many laps before it did. But he didn’t seem bothered by that; he wanted to compete. He just wanted to get on with it and I was genuinely concerned he would take the start.
