and stayed on for the (somewhat premature) Christmas party, which provided him with an easy way of getting to know fellow team members.</p> <p>“It is my first time in Enstone,” said Kimi on the team website. “So it is very nice to see the factory – it feels good. It is a very warm feeling and I’m very relaxed. I haven’t really read the newspapers about all the excitement but it is quite normal, isn’t it? It doesn’t put any more pressure on me. I always try to do my best, so I don’t put myself under pressure. It will be exciting, yes, but no pressure really and we will see how it goes.”</p> <p>“I think we decided that we had to look forward in terms of performance and the key way to see how good a car is, is to have a good driver,” said Genii boss Gerard Lopez. “Kimi has proven in the past that he is among the fastest and in terms of age he’s still in his prime. In terms of motivation from what I have seen and spoken to him, he is probably as motivated as ever.</p> <p>“And the more people question the better it is, because it is going to increase his motivation even more to prove that they are wrong. I’m excited that he is here because I think it’s one of the very important steps in getting the team to where we want it to be – which is one of the top teams in Formula 1…”</p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-facebook-5524" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon" href="https://adamcooperf1.com/2011/12/02/santa-kimi-arrives-at-enstone/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook" ><span>Facebook</span></a></li><li class="share-x"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-x-5524" class="share-x sd-button share-icon" href="https://adamcooperf1.com/2011/12/02/santa-kimi-arrives-at-enstone/?share=x" target="_blank" title="Click to share on X" ><span>X</span></a></li><li class="share-end"></li></ul></div></div></div><div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-11870003-5524-67500c1dc0960' data-src='//widgets.wp.com/likes/index.html?ver=20241204#blog_id=11870003&post_id=5524&origin=adamcooperf1.wordpress.com&obj_id=11870003-5524-67500c1dc0960&domain=adamcooperf1.com' data-name='like-post-frame-11870003-5524-67500c1dc0960' data-title='Like or Reblog'><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height: 55px;'><span class='button'><span>Like</span></span> <span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div> <div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' > <h3 class="jp-relatedposts-headline"><em>Related</em></h3> </div></div> </div> <div class="entry-links"> <p class="comment-number"><a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/2011/12/02/santa-kimi-arrives-at-enstone/#comments">8 Comments</a></p> <p class="entry-categories tagged">Filed under <a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></p> <p class="entry-tags tagged">Tagged as <a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/tag/kimi/" rel="tag">Kimi</a>, <a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/tag/lotus/" rel="tag">Lotus</a>, <a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/tag/lrgp/" rel="tag">LRGP</a>, <a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/tag/raikkonen/" rel="tag">Raikkonen</a><br /></p> </div> </div> <div id="nav-below" class="navigation"> <div class="nav-previous"><a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/2011/12/02/red-bull-out-of-fota-but-still-committed-to-cost-saving/" rel="prev"><span class="meta-nav">←</span> Red Bull out of FOTA but still “committed to cost saving”</a></div> <div class="nav-next"><a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/2011/12/05/mercedes-adds-amg-to-f1-team-name/" rel="next">Mercedes adds AMG to F1 team name <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a></div> </div> <div id="comments"> <h3 id="comments-title" class="comment-head"> 8 responses to “<em>Santa Kimi arrives at Enstone!</em>” </h3> <ol class="comment-list"> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="li-comment-26184"> <div id="comment-26184" class="comment-container"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d14195f4a3391fb1baf1e767c75c64665d57bff075c7d614d335e7ddde653fb9?s=48&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d14195f4a3391fb1baf1e767c75c64665d57bff075c7d614d335e7ddde653fb9?s=48&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d14195f4a3391fb1baf1e767c75c64665d57bff075c7d614d335e7ddde653fb9?s=72&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d14195f4a3391fb1baf1e767c75c64665d57bff075c7d614d335e7ddde653fb9?s=96&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d14195f4a3391fb1baf1e767c75c64665d57bff075c7d614d335e7ddde653fb9?s=144&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/d14195f4a3391fb1baf1e767c75c64665d57bff075c7d614d335e7ddde653fb9?s=192&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-48' height='48' width='48' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <cite class="fn">Peter</cite> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"><a href="https://adamcooperf1.com/2011/12/02/santa-kimi-arrives-at-enstone/#comment-26184"> December 2, 2011 at 8:05 pm</a> </div> <div class="comment-body"><p>Adam, your article on speedtv.com on Kimi’s comeback is the most comprehensive and fair amongst all.

Now if only other journalists have been as insightful as you have. I’m not saying this just because I am a kiminatic… I’m saying this because it was a convenient truth for Ferrari to get rid of Kimi to make way for Alonso. Alonso is also a great driver, but Ferrari did not have to resort to such tactics to make way for their new driver. It was rather tasteless… we shall see … now it’s gonna be a long cold winter waiting for the 2012 season to arrive, sigh…</p> </div> <div class="reply"> <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link"
