    Thanks Alex and GQ! I'm always astounded at the F1 drivers, the things they have to attend during a racing "weekend"(4 days) alone, the media, the fans, practices, team/engineer discussions, qualy, more team/engineerchats, couple more pressconferences, the whole buildup and then finally, that moment, when they are on the grid, doing what they do when the lights go out. Kimi's short sentences, make actual sence, sometimes. The whole shebang is just incredible. Hats off to you out there.
