Easy-going Räikkönen aims already to Nationwide

Turun Sanomat 20.5 2011 23:20:13

When Kimi Räikkönen's practice went badly in F1 it immediately showed on his face.

On Friday Räikkönen's practice session in World Camping Truck -serie's debut offered a disappointment, but the 31-year old Finn surprised the American media by giving them a 15 minute long interview in a very easy-going and good mood.

Räikkönen went to Nascar-adventure to have fun in new challenges and as an experienced racer he knows that one never learns anything new just by snapping fingers.

Räikkönen was asked about his plans of continuing in Nascar.

– Rally is this year's thing but when I had the time and the opportunity, I went to see what Nascar really is about. If I suck then I doubt I'll be coming back. Hopefully the qualification and race goes better than the practice.

– I don't have any specific plans. This race and next weekend here. After that we will see what the future brings along. Hopefully I would get soon to a Sprint Cup -race. They look nice. I always try to do my best when I'm racing, Räikkönen said.

Next weekend only the two biggest classes in Nascar race on Charlotte's oval, therefore Räikkönen aims at the least for a Nationwide -race next Saturday.

Kyle Busch announced in his own press conference that he can't offer Räikkönen a Nationwide- or Sprint Cup -car.

No plans about next year

Räikkönen's reputation as Ferrari's F1-WDC is known in America. But they have no impresson over why Kimi left F1.

– There were many reasons why I quit. But I haven't said that it's final. At the moment I don't miss F1. I have wanted to do many different things and I have got great opportunities to try rally and now Nascar. I have never said that I could not go back to F1. I have no plans about what I will do next year, Räikkönen said.

Then how big is the Nascar-challenge and how much has Kyle Busch been able to help the rookie?

– Switching from F1 to rally was a huge change. From rally to Nascar it isn't as difficult. I learn all the time and this is only my first time when I drive with other cars at the same time on the track. The practice went badly and of course it would have been good to get more laps but we have to go with what we have.

Then which one is nicer - to drive a WRC-car or a Nascar-truck?

– They are both completely different. In Nascar there are a few curves with little differences but in rally you drive on snow, gravel and tarmac so that each corner changes all the time. You can't compare them, but I can say that the feeling that comes from driving them is pretty much the same.

– Of course it helps here when in rally it's normal that the car goes into a slide. Therefore you don't panic with the Nascar-cars either.

– The atmosphere is easy-going - just like in rally. They think differently in F1 and they want to do it in their own way, Räikkönen said.

Busch helped as much as he could

Kyle Busch came by to hear what Räikkönen's and team manager Rick Ren's feelings were after the practice.

What kind of an impression does the American star have of Räikkönen?

– Kimi impressed in tests but now the practice didn't go as we expected. We had a different tyre than we had on a couple earlier occasions on this track and it caused Kimi problems in setups. The car was too loose.

Räikkönen said that the relationship with Busch has worked out just as he had expected.

– The team is good and it's good to work with them. They try and help as much as they can but it's difficult to come and tell a racer how he should drive. You can try and teach him but usually the end result is bad, Räikkönen said.

Kyle Busch didn't admit that he expected more from Kimi Räikkönen in Charlotte's Truck-practice, but the team owner didn't look very pleased after he had a meeting with the Finnish driver when the second practice session had ended.

– Kimi made a big impression on tests in Gresham and Rockingham. He drove really well. Now we had to get him on a racing track and it didn't help at all that we use different tyres than we used during the last couple of times, Busch said to Turun Sanomat.

What does Busch expect from Räikkönen in Friday night's race?

– That he drives all laps, Busch said.

Räikkönen himself didn't hide that the practice laps didn't go the way he wished. Actually only the last lap went well when the team got something right in the car.

– Hopefully the qualification and race goes better. One has to know where to put the car on this track in order to find the best driving lines. That knowledge comes only after laps and experience.

– There wasn't as much traffic as I expected. So I didn't get to learn that either. The car didn't behave the way I wanted, Räikkönen complained.

Raikkonen enjoys solid Truck debut

"Actually it was more fun than I expected, the racing," said Raikkonen. "You'd rather be higher up [in the order] but [considering] how it felt this morning in practice I'm pretty pleased how it felt in the race. For sure there's still a lot to learn and improve but I think we didn't have any major issues so it was okay."

"На самом деле гонка была даже более веселой, чем я ожидал" - сказал Райкконен. "Можно было быть и выше, но сравнивая с тем, как я чувствовал машину в практике, я очень доволен, как я чувствовал ее в гонке. Есть еще много чему учиться и много чего улучшить, но у нас не было больших проблем, так что все хорошо".

100% ему понравилось

А вы говорите нафига нужен этот Наскар, 30 страниц пока я спал, когда последний раз такое было, Лайв есть Лайв, это не гонки со временем в Ралли с вглядыванием в циферки.

Лёша, мы на каждом ралли в полтора раза больше пишем))

Выделенное предложение несколько удивляет. Я что-то пропустил? Вроде как до конца года Наскара больше не планировалось.

ну здрасте.. Смотрим внимательно прессконференцию : бормочет,потом "it's this weekend and hopefully next weekend", бормочет...Ну не следующий уикенд.. но рядом)

Former Formula One star Kimi Raikkonen struggles in Truck Series practice, not sure about NASCAR plans

CONCORD, N.C. – Former Formula One champion Kimi Raikkonen doesn’t know how long his NASCAR experiment will last, but he hopes it goes better than his first couple of hours of practice.

Raikkonen was 30th in both Camping World Truck Series practices Friday morning at Charlotte Motor Speedway as he was more than six mph off the pace of the leaders.

He scraped the wall with both his right front fender and his right rear quarter panel of the Kyle Busch Motorsports truck as he fought a loose truck most of the practice for the N.C. Education Lottery on Friday night.

“I’m still learning,” Raikkonen said Friday following practice. “I haven’t driven once [here]; it was my first time today here. It wasn’t a very good day but we have to start from somewhere and improve.

“Hopefully in qualifying and the race we can do a bit better. … We’ll try to survive and do the best we can.”

Raikkonen currently is running full time in the World Rally Championship in his second year away from Formula One. He tentatively had planned to run three to five races with KBM but indicated he might try to run the Nationwide Series race next week.

“I am here this weekend and hopefully next week, I’m in here and after that, there’s no really big plans yet,” said Raikkonen, not giving any indication of the team he would compete for next week. “Hopefully I can get to run some Cup races. That would be nice. … I will try to do the best now and see what happens.”

The 32-year-old Finnish driver has had three days of testing to prepare for the Charlotte race but had not been on a track bigger than 1 mile in length.

“I wanted to see how a stock car feels – if I really suck here, there’s probably no reason to come back,” Raikkonen said. “Hopefully it goes better than today. I don’t know yet. We go day by day and see how it goes. What comes in the future, it comes. I have no plans for next year and it’s too early to think about.”

Raikkonen said he wasn’t sure what to expect in the race or what his future holds.

“I don’t really know – I don’t have any plans for next year for anything that I do,” Raikkonen said. “I’ll see how it is. I didn’t really have any expectations when I came here. It’s a bit like when I went to Rally. I didn’t have any expectations. I wanted to see how it is.

“It is the same story here. It is a different sort of racing than we have in Europe. It’s very popular here. It may look easy, but it’s not too easy to find that last bit to be fast. We’ll see how it goes.”

He said the transition from Formula One, where he won the championship in 2007, to Rally cars was a little tougher, but he hasn’t competed in traffic.

“The handling of the car was not what I wanted, … it will be interesting to see how I do in the race,” Raikkonen said. “It will be the first time you have some cars beside you and you can go overtake some guys. … Hopefully it goes smoothly.”

Kyle Busch, his team owner, said he had issues in practice along with Raikkonen.

“Kimi took to it OK,” Busch said. “We’re a little disappointed that we’re not higher up on the speed charts with him. We feel like that’s more maybe our area than his area.

“I know he knows how to drive a car. We’ve seen it. Hopefully we can get him a little bit better where he can run all the laps tonight and have a good experience.”

Kimi Raikkonen Makes NASCAR Debut For Kyle Busch Motorsports

May 20 2:33p

by Jay W. Pennell

Former Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen made his NASCAR debut Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, taking the wheel of the No. 15 truck for Kyle Busch Motorsports. Running 30th in both practice sessions, Raikkonen was unhappy with the day's progress but knew there would be a major learning curve in NASCAR.

“Since I stopped in Formula 1, my interests have always been in many different motorsports,” Raikkonen said. “I want to try different things and this wasn’t the first time that I have been offered to come here. I had a good time to come and see how it is and learn and try to get better in it. That’s really the only reason that I came. I was interested to see how it is and how it feels and how it is racing in NASCAR.”

Making his debut this weekend in Charlotte, Raikkonen said he had no further plans set in place, but hopes to get a chance to run some Sprint Cup Series races if all goes well.

“I don’t have big plans – I don’t have any plans for next year or anything of what I do,” he said. “I see how it is because I didn’t have any expectations when I came here. It’s a bit like when I went to rally (cars) – I didn’t have much expectation, I wanted to see how it is.

"It’s the same story here. For sure, it’s a different sport. Different type of racing than what we have in Europe. It’s very popular here and maybe it looks easy, but it’s not so easy to be fast. We’ll see how it goes and what the future will bring. We go step-by-step and see what happens.”

Friday’s practice sessions reinforced that sentiment, as he struggled to find a handle on the No. 15 truck.

“Wasn’t very good day, but we have to start from somewhere,” Raikkonen said. “Improve hopefully in qualifying and in the race we can do a bit better. Of course there’s a lot of things to know what you want from the car. It looks quite similar, the circuits here, but it’s not. You have to learn all the best things on every circuit and what you can do and the best lines. That really comes with the knowledge and experience. We try to survive through the day and try to do the best that we can and hopefully we are much more smarter and we know more things after that.

“I hoped to have a little bit more during the practice, but the handling of the car was not what I wanted and at the end it was a bit better. I’m still not happy, but it would be nice to still have some more practice. It is what it is and it will be interesting to see how it goes in the race because that is really the first time now that you have some cars beside you and you can go and overtake some guys. It is a different thing once we go all together in the start and the first laps. We have to learn it and hopefully it goes smoothly.”

Throughout the days two practice sessions, Raikkonen was able to talk things over with team owner Kyle Busch between track time.

“Expectations for Kimi tonight are pretty simple,” Busch said. “Just try to get him to run all the laps, try to get him to gain some experience, get him out there around some other trucks. Try to drive the truck a little harder and get a feel for it. Feel the loose, feel the tight. Apparently we’ve already given him both of those, but to be able to get him to feel that in traffic and race around some other guys and see if he can’t make his way forward. Essentially, just try to complete all the laps and get experience.”

Running rally cars in Europe, Raikkonen is making NASCAR attempts as it fits into his schedule.

“I have always planned to do the rally this year so this is really when I have time, but the NASCAR I wanted to see how it is, how it feels, how I do here,” he said. “So I mean if I completely suck here, there’s probably no reason to come back, but hopefully it goes better than today. I mean, I don’t know yet. Like I said, we go day-by-day and see how it goes and what comes in the future it comes. Like I said, I have no plans for next year so it’s too early to think about it.”

Indicating his plans are to run this weekend and next weekend, Raikonnen left the door open for a Nationwide Series start as the Camping World Truck Series has the weekend off. Busch said his team would be unable to field Raikkonen in the Nationwide Series race next week as his team does not have a Nationwide license and his crew members are not licensed to work in the Nationwide Series, “so it would have to be with somebody else.”

Ответственно заявляю, что это неправда Столько в ралли не писали.

Кими поздравляю с отличным дебютом! Кимофилов с возрождением забытый эмоций

(сдается мне, что голосовалку Наскар/ралли делать смысла уже нет )

Райкконен: я получил больше удовольствия, чем ожидал

Чемпион мира Формулы-1 2007 года, гонщик WRC Кими Райкконен, комментируя свой дебют в NASCAR Truck Series, заявил, что его ожидания оправдались.

"Гонка был очень интересной, я получил новый опыт, но единственный минусом я могу назвать слишком уж большое число жёлтых флагов. Только ты начинаешь чувствовать автомобиль и понимаешь, как можно ехать быстрее, тут же гонка нейтрализуется, а на рестарте приходится вновь искать cвой темп. В начале гонки я ударился от отбойник, а потом приложил машину об стену ещё раз, но гораздо сильнее — думал, что на этом заезд для меня закончен, но до пит-стопа всё было хорошо. Мы повысили давление в шинах, чтобы компенсировать проблемы с поврежёднной стороной машины и управляемость вернулась на прежний уровень. С каждым кругом мне удавалось прибавлять.

Я получил больше удовольствия, чем ожидал. Я рад возможности попробовать себя в гонке. Мне есть ещё чему учиться и в чём совершенствовать своё мастерство, но очень хорошо, что даже в дебютной гонке у меня не возникло проблем и я смог добраться до финиша", — цитирует Райкконена Autosport.

Я вот поспал с 6 до 9 и на полусвежую голову подумал: "А ведь наверняка наш Кими будет всем голову морочить со своими конкретными планами на будущее до последнего момента. Ох, чувствую, ждут нас веселенькие деньки еще".
