The end of the F1 road is “more closer than the beginning!” but will that then be the last time he is seen in the F1 sphere?
Kimi: “I don’t know. Probably… [it] depends. Obviously I will never do any commentating or anything, that’s for sure. But you never know what happens. I’ve never been shy of dirtying my hands & fixing something myself. And if I had more time I would like to do it more, but with racing and doing F1 I was busy and then now with a family it doesn’t really feel right that I go home and go for 5h fixing something on my own! For me, F1 has never been the most important thing in my life. It’s for sure taking the most of the time in my life. When I come to races, I think all the time the things that should ‘this or that’ improve here or there. It’s like never-ending story. I’ve never been a big fan of the other stuff, but the racing and the trialling part, always. I liked it enough at least to want to keep going and I guess it’s the feeling of going racing and trying to do the best that you can. When we were kids, we had a lot of freedom to use the welding machines and all kind of things. Our parents let us do a lot of things – sometimes destroy my mum’s bike and take parts from it, and they were not too happy!
“If there’s some work, obviously I’d try to keep coming to the track for sure. My kids are both interested in the sport and if they want to come one day, we should come. But I wouldn’t say that I’m desperate to come because I do try to enjoy them with other things than that.”- Kimi concluded.
