Damn good effort by Kimi in today's race. A big miffed why Grosjean didn't move aside for him as it was clear Kimi was on a tear for a period of time. But in a way it's interesting to see Renault state they are not doing the team orders thing. A great race, but bitter sweet for me as Kimi could have had this win.
Now for the really interesting bit. The live broadcast of ITV right after the race had Kimi chatting with Seb over how he nearly got him, but that he only had one decent chance to pass him. And then seeing Horner relate to Kimi, I was immediately thinking, oh hell yes, Kimi in an RBR for 2013!! Maybe that means Webber to Ferrari perhaps, but if Kimi want's the RBR seat for next year I think it's his for the taking.

You personally love him? 
Well that's one for the tabloids...
Its good to see him back, long way to go in the season but would be great if he could get a win.

Yay, Kimi finally got a haircut. About time too. Been hoping he'd get a short crop and look like his leaner, meaner McLaren days.
As for the race tomorrow, fingers crossed he gets into the top three.

Oh, for georgessake!!!
This isn't a discussion thread anymore! You guys are actually a fanboy club!!!
Sorry, I never thought I would see something like that here. I mean, I am an Alonso fan, but I would never give a crap about his hairdos or his twitter/facebook account. I see it coming...tips on where to get merchandise and such right?
Yeah, I know...what de hell am I doing here and STFU or GTFO, it's ok go on. Not my right to make fun of it but...just couldn't resist it!

I found Kimi's personal Facebook page a few years ago actually when it was for a very short period of time publicly listed in the search results. As for this new Facebook fan page, I think it's great. I just had a look at his personal website. Hadn't been on there in ages, and it's look pretty awesome. Seems to be Kimi's got a good team around him at Lotus and he seems to be happy, though not quite because he hasn't won yet.
Bring on Spa! If Lotus keep up as they have been, he's got to be a favourite for that race.

Did you guys see the info on there being a special Kimi branded version of Space Angry Birds? Apparently it's for real. I havn't been able to get a closer look at his helmet but there's going to be, or already is some branding somewhere on his helmet.

I don't care about his hair (that was funny XD) and I'm not clicking on "Me gusta" (pun wholly intended) until the actual I-don't-give-a-Sh#t Kimi posts something in there XDDD

Kimi returns so what...
I think he's a serious WDC candidate together with Hamilton. They have been a bit unlucky so to speak but they make their cars&tires work more often than others. ALO and VET will need a better car if they want to stay in the fight in the long term.
