Video: Is Kimi already tired of rallying?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Checked out Kimi Räikkönen’s new website and looked around at a few videos of him. Found some kind of trailer for his website that was quite funny, where Kimi is laying in a sofa in the end and saying with a huuuge Finnish accent: “You wanna see more? Go and check out my website, kimiraikkonen.com”. It made me smile, so why not share it? :)

Besides that, there are now quite a few clips flourishing of his tests with Citroen. His first test in France is available on the website, or in this YouTube video:

Here are also some new stuff from Kimi’s tests in Finland this week:

Thanks to Iceman Media, KimiF1st and MadCowYuuko for the clips. I guess more will follow, but the best way if you wanna keep track of everything is to do a YouTube search yourself…

Hirvonen wins Monte as expected – Ogier out just before the penultimate stage

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Hirvonen’s IRC appearance in Rally Monte Carlo ended up with a win – just as one would expect if the new Ford Fiesta Super2000 delivered without problems. It obviously did, so Hirvonen showed by leading the rally from the first to the last stage that it is a difference – no matter how small or big it might be – between WRC and IRC. Also it was really a flying start for the Fiesta – and it will certainly be interesting to see if the difference Hirvonen managed to held is just because of his skills or also because of the car. A new hint will be given in Rally Sweden in a few weeks, where Andreas Mikkelsen, Martin Prokop, Bernardo Sousa and Janne Tuohino will drive the car.

Sebastien Ogier was 2nd placed going into the last loop, but on his way to the penultimate special stage his car broke down and he had to retire. This gave Juho Hänninen the 2nd place after a solid but not stunning drive throughout the weekend, where many people removed themselves from the chance of winning by making mistakes, including Meeke, Sarrazin, and others.

The standings after SS15 – and most probably the final results – are:

1. Hirvonen / Lehtinen, 4h32min 58.5s
2. Hänninen / Markula, +1min 51.4s
3. Vouilloz / Veillas, +3min 19.1s
4. Sarrazin / Renucci, +7min 25.5s
5. Kopecky / Stary, +8min 48.7s
6. Wilks / Pugh, +9min 24.5s
7. Magalhaes / Magalhaes, +9min 45.4s
8. Vigion / Prevot, +13min 33.5s
