I wasn't too happy with the third place at the Monaco GP. For sure it was the best result in the last time, but that was nothing new to me and we knew that we could arrive on a place on the top. When the leaders in the Championship are so far ahead in the classification, in the end it's only a victory that counts. Being back on the podium is a nice reward for the whole Team.
The hard work of the last weeks finally bears some fruit, which is really positive for all of us. We know that we're on the right way now: there are still some minor things to be done but sooner or later we will win. We'll show up with further improvements of the F60 in the upcoming races and we hope we can then challenge the leaders even more, in the qualifying and in the race.
The Monaco qualifying is so much more important than on other tracks and we've almost done a perfect job: we missed the pole by 25 thousandsth of a second. Not starting from the first position means that it's very likely you won't win. Furthermore the second position on the grid doesn't help on this track. You start from the dirty side of the track and whenever I found myself in this position I always lost at least one position in the field, because the tyres spin a lot at the start. In fact Rubens overtook me, which was really a shame. If I had managed to stay beind Button I think I could have easily opened a gap. In the end it was difficult to fight for second position and then there was this story at the last pit stop, where we lost a couple of seconds, due to a problem with the right rear wheel. When I took up the race again I was further behind the Brazilian than before.
We brought home both cars and gained some important points. There were many things at Monaco we can be satisfied with.
I'll race in a rally in Italy next Saturday, in the Marca Trevigiana, and I want to thank the Scuderia that they gave me the possibility to take part in such a competition. I really enjoy myself and it will be my first experience on the tarmac after some tests on snow last winter. As I'm coming from the race track it will be interesting to see what I will be able to do behind the wheel of the Fiat Grande Punto S2000 on the roads close to Treviso.

要谈论谈论的就是日记里那段橙色的拉力。Kimi和他的小白,在30号正赛里,很好笑的,退赛了…………
当然好笑是我自己觉得||||| 看完那段他开着小白然后蹦出来几颗小石子然后停在路边连轮胎也飞出来的样子,我实在忍不住不管脸上还孵着面膜笑的前仰后合。
赛后意大利人说他们惊讶于这个胖子一直乐呵呵的,就算退赛还乐呵呵的== 照此情景下去,意大利的朋友们应该会开始喜欢这个傻瓜了吧|||| 就像喜欢傻呵呵的马萨那样喜欢一样傻呵呵的胖子……


30th May 2009 - Rally de Marca: Kimi Damages Car and Retires
A great day of rally on the streets where the most awaited, Kimi Raikkonen, hailed the company as early as the end of the first lap on the special tests. Fatal for him was the impact against a curb with the right rear wheel during the transfer of the first 3 ps, "Castles," which had compromised the structure of Raikkonen's Grande Punto Abarth on the trajectory of the crono storch wheel. The Ferrari driver was not doing anything sensational, but of course only intended to have fun in unusual and paved roads that are new to him, but previously had tested only two snow rally on funds from the parts of his home in Finland. The crowd of fans was consoled tifare to return to the usual heroes of flying, those rallysti "pure and hard" who animated the race until the closing bars in Piazza dei Signori.
Eyewitnesses claim to have seen the Grande Punto Abarth of Raikkonen hit the pavement in a transfer before facing trial this morning. It was likely to have broken the arm of the right rear suspension, compromising the structure of the car which then failed to perform during the time trial at a high speed.
