PODIUM Year on year Kimi has been voted the most popular driver in Formula One and you have your fans here. Kimi Raikkonen: Yeah, I’m very happy that I have here support but whatever country they come from I’m very happy to have the. Unfortunately we could only give third place but we try next time more so. We have to talk about the podium and the lock-out on the front row. We weren’t sure how it would wind up and both of you are on the podium. It shows a great sign for the future of this season and the championship and the excitement of it? KR: Yeah, I think I have had a little bit of a rough start to the season. Far from ideal but this weekend for sure has been a step forward. We have been more happy with how things have been running but we still only finished third. We lost out at the start and then not a lot happened after that. We keep trying and keep improving and I’m sure we’ll get there, but it’s all about… all the small details have to be exactly there and then you will get the first place. The four or five of us are very close most of the time, so it’s the small differences that make a big difference in the end.
