The trouble with the rat-race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.

Last question could be taken differently

Rallying is a form of racing =/

May not be against others on track, but against others on the clock.

I like him, his sense of humour is refreshing and not so PC like the rest. I like the rally driver part as F1 drivers generally don't have much respect for the mud.

Anyway if he doesn't like loosing he could be interesting to watch.

Well Tomba and I were pretty close to Heikki at Zolder last year (he even allowed me to take a picture with him in the pits as he was on his way to his trailer after the F1demo) and he seems so lovely!
I will be cheering for him and I hope that he'll have a great rookie season in F1!

Ps:...a guy that likes to cook...seems very very handy :wink:
(Especially as his speciality is Italian mmmmm)
