Yesterday, the Autosport magzine released its list of Top Ten Drivers in 2007. F1 racers Kimi Räikkönen, Hamilton and Alonso ranked as the first, second and third place. Moreover, Button from Honda, Webber from the Red Bull and Nick Heidfeld from BMW Sauber were also included on the list, ranking as the sixth, nineth and tenth. Other four drivers were from WRC and IRL.

Kimi Räikkönen,

Carlos, did you imply that there were many excellent F1 drivers who were from Finland? I should admit that it is ture.

I imagine Finns are slightly more crazy than others. If You want to win, take a Finn is only a saying. Last time it was said by Toyota F1 team manager, when he hired Mika Salo to lead Toyota to championship. Well, Salo was fired about half years later, so maybe that´s all about that fairytale.

Anyway, although Finns have succeed well in World Rally Championships, must admit that the real great drivers in F1 heve become elsewhere.

Nice to be a Finn this year, though.

Can you explain to me why Finns are fond of racing?

I think I have no answer to that, Dreamlife.
Finland is a long-distance-country, meaning 1000 kilometers long, about 450 km wide. Only 5 million people here. There are small roads everywhere to learn rally skills without having to be scared of meeting police.

Actually take a Finn came after so many Finns had won so many WRC championships. In F1 Finns are quite new and few.

Kimi is one of the best F1 drivers this time, but he has a long long way to compete about title of Great driver with ex. Senna or Schumacher.

Carlos, Finns might be fond of risking in nature. You see, racing is very exciting and risky and it needs courage and bravery.

Kimi is a great F1 driver and he has a promising future. Maybe, he will surpass Senna or Schumacher.
