I can't believe he has fans. He probably doesn't even care about them.

I'm a fan of his. I love his attitude to the press, he just doesn't care about them. Often uses them to put in some dry humour. I read an interview with him in F1 Racing a while back, it's quite enlightening as to his attitude to things.

His attitude to driving, sure it's probably not the best in terms of high-end racing but I like it. He turns up to race and that's it, everything is surplus to requirements for him.

I'm fully aware that sees same things that I like about him are what others find distasteful, annoying and less than endearing.

That was awesome !!!

What an amazing man indeed. Kudos to him and I hope he goes into WRC in 2011 and maybe help revie taht sport further cause we all know F1 is getting boring as crap now.

And oddly enough Kimi was much happier doing WRC press conferences than I've seen him in the F1 ones.

I am a Fan of him and I like his of track behaviour as much as his driving style.
Maybe even more, he is just that cool.

Indeed! His attitude sometimes reminds me of Monty Python skits. Couldn't be more entertaining.

Its the media who makes him who he is, why put on a twatish attitude towards the media, even in the F1 conferences he's a boring ---. Its part of the reason i cant stand him, first impressions and all that.

I 've never been a fan of Kimi, but I do admire the way he presents himself. I'd much rather have this "who gives a s*$t" attitude than the hypocrisy of genetically programmed media-friendly PC drivers who don't seem to have an opinion of their own..

As for his Rally Finland appearance, he was quite impressive up until retirement, climbing up to 15th position in the overall standings. If he's going to retire from F1 I really wish he considers the WRC.

When I first started watching F1 (2004), Kimi was the guy that I ound myself pulling for. He seemed to be the only one that had any chance against MS, and his attitude was very clear. Ice cold.

I admire people that can be in that bright of a spotlight and not crack in the slightest.

F the media!
