Driving alongside Kimi Raikkonen - after Melbourne F1 GP

As I was driving out of the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit after the race, none other than World Champion Kimi Raikkonen drives out next to me in his Ferrari. As giggly school boys crossed with paparazzi we would later drive behind him as we were unknowingly going to the same destination - Crown Casino. He was with his trainer Mark Arnal.

[MadGez]

Shoulda overtaken him.I could hear it now, "Yeah, well i overtook kimi raikkonen once."

[Woffin]

Nah thats not Kimi, where's the ice cream? :P

[GetitOnJeff]

@Guireles2007 how so? I am a total F1 fan, but the NASCAR drivers: fly their private jets to the nearest airport, helicopter to the infield, work at the track, and in their "brand center", Then hop to their $1,000,000 motor-coach, in their private golf cart, there they can sleep, rest, spend time with their family. Some non corporate time. advantages: driver is never stuck in traffic, always available to the team if needed, food and water is brought according to each drivers tastes.

@hotmercedes Don't ever compare a Nascar driver with an F1, they are not in the same level of driving capabilities; although as it turns out, Kimi has gotten infected with the "Montoya Syndrome"= bad taste in career moves...

[thebossisheretostay]

i thought you had to be in an F1car to drive along side Kimi ha

[FrozenBlaze]

Had you raced him there, you could have bragged to your friends:

"Yeah, I once raced Kimi Räikkönen and won. Yes, we both raced but he crashed suddenly... He seems to like sudden crashes."

[juicio70]

driven and rx8??

[Snookenas]

@hotmercedes Haha, wow.. Whats your point?

[wahaya2]

This is the sort of stuff that drove Kimi up the wall.

Can't say I wouldn't have done exactly the same though =P

[hotmercedes]

@MadGez Oh guess im used to the IRL NASCAR and other American series, they all have those Huge buses like the F1 teams have but they are kept inside the track for the drivers to sleep hang out with their families etc.
