At first when I watched the videos of him doing one of the stages around Killeri I think, I was sure he was in a WRC car because the roads seemed so narrow and tight. When I found out he was only in a Super 2000 car, I thought 'what must it be like for Hirvonen and co.?'

Kimi did extremely well though,he definitely has a future in rallying. I think he should only do it after his F1 career has finished, he shouldn't leave F1 for rallying.

I know I give him a hard time, but it's because he's capable of great things like in France 2002, Belgium 2004, Japan 2005 and Australia 2008. We just don't see them often enough, just the odd fastest lap at the end of races. Shame really.

He hasn't won since the Spanish GP of 2008, when if I remember he was leading the championship.

It's amazing really, he's up to 35 fastest laps now.

I thought Kimi actually did pretty well in the last race, if you compare the teams throughout the weekend, then the Ferrari certainly wasn't very fast or particularly good to drive fast. The car looked quite a handful throughout the whole race, it seemed like Kimi was really driving on the edge.

Kimi did really well in the rally, he has only received praises so far, he was fast and he only had four days worth of testing beforehand. He will properly still crash out a few times with his limited experience, but it would be interesting to see what he can do with a bit more experience.
