Smoking: Kimi hates it (but Jenni does) wuuuw but they always looks so romantic
Tattoo: Black smiling sun on right wrist (summer 2001) which is so so so cute, I’d love too have it but I can’t,,, BUT those tattoo was replaced-since work for Scuderia Ferrari-with such a fire tattoo, I dislike that, a lil bit creepy to me, but he showed us his wild side, he used to be a nice kid in McLaren, Ron trying to protect him and also have a tight rule for his driver-so when he got his ‘freedom’ in Ferrari, he made that tattoo,,,
Yacht: Doesn’t have one, rents- he said in F1 Magazine that it’s such an idiot things if we have a yacht but we just spend it for a week in a year, if I want to use a yacht, I’ll rent which is cheaper-so he saved his money (from his billion money, much more I guess) for a logic reason hahaha I like the way F1 Racing Magz say that
House: Kimi lives in Wollerau, Suisse-his house
Kimi’s Answers to Gone In 60 seconds (by one of F1 Magz):
Williams over Ferrari (I know why he answered that, he did’t gave too much respect for MS, respect but not as much as people in the world gave, but now we see that he goes to Ferrari,,,)
Finland over Britain (of course, he do really love his country,,, beside tax in Finland is lower than in Britain-again he saved his money,,,with logical hehehe)
Dry over Wet (same with me,,, I don’t like wet,,,)
Hot over Cold (same again,,, but it’s that mean, I can’t live in Finland? It’s must be so cold to be there)
Black over White (hihihi same with me again, Kimi, I think we match each other hihihi)
Hotel over Villa (I like both hweehhehehhe)
Casual over Smart
Ron Dennis over Peter Sauber (maybe cuz he spent his time almost with Ron, and Ron also love him so much-well, that time, I don’t know now, but they still respect each other, I like Ron but I think he love Lewis more that he loves Kimi. I also like Peter, however Peter was the 1st person who made Kimi could enter the F1 circus, even a lot of people gave a doubt in Kimi, Peter still believed in Kimi’s talent)
Diamonds over Pearls (I do not really like jewel actually but I think, yes, diamond is more expensive hehehehe)
Vodka over Whisky (of couse, vodka is his fave one)
Photo shoot over Press conference ( of course, he is the iceman!!! Later, he do not really like press activity, even photo shoot, but since he ‘trained’ by McLaren that it is important to be close with press to get sponsor, he looks enjoyed photo shoot, and we can see it in F1 Magz, he is so damn cute,,,!!!!!)
Hakkinen over Rosberg (well Mika is his best friend, and with Keke, they’re different generation hehehe, Keke said he do not know Kimi very well because we’re in defferent era, but he said that he knows Jenni(Kimi’s wife) better than Kimi-lah maksude opo iki?hehhee )
Malaysia over Monaco (what about Indonesia Kimi? Uhm Kimi in his early life ever asked Keke as his manager but because he had Mika and Jenson Button to be handled so Kimi turns to Steve.
