KIMI'S CHANCES // IT'S MIRACLE TIME

Fans of Finland's finest take note, Kimi Raikkonen says “it will take a miracle, one that makes lightning strike twice” for him to take the drivers championship. Now before you give up all hope entirely and start cheering for Massa, remember Kimi’s comeback last season. According to Autosport, Raikkonen had this to say in regards to his chances at the title, despite being 21 points behind current leader Hamilton and 20 behind teammate Massa: “This sport can be really hard to digest, you push, you give it all, but it won’t go in the right direction. You don’t have to be Einstein to understand that this is not the right way to fight for the title. It’s not over yet, but now it will take a miracle, one that makes lightning strike twice. I will never forget what happened last year and I want to repeat it again.” Strong words from a man absent from the title fight these last few races, and at a hearty $2 million a race, we think Kimi should step up a bit, rain or shine // 09.19.2008
