Originally stumbled upon this news whilst perusing
the "Minnie Ha-Ha" (Minneapolis) Star's Motorsports section and have
to say while I'm not overly shocked, nevertheless I'm majorly bummed thee
'Kimster won't be racing in Austin, Texas this coming weekend... Nor the season
finale at Interlagos, as Kimi's decided to have back surgery instead pronto -
in order to fully prepare for his forthcoming Ferrari contract...
Hmm? Surely this has nothing to do with the
normally media-shy Monosyllabic Finn's recent tirade of NOT being paid one
single Euro this season for services rendered at Lotus, right? As astutely Adam
Cooper points out that if Raikkonen finishes outside of the Top-3 finishers,
then he'll be free to skip the Post-season mandatory appearance in Paris, not
to mention perhaps this was part of Lotus's recent announcement of their
respective settlement?
Or perhaps instead la Scuderia's way of getting
the 'Iceman suitably "chilled" for a potential forthcoming winter's
Pirelli tyre test, eh? As Kimi's already been to Maranello for a 2014 seat
fitting where allegedly NOBODY's told Kimi to get out of the FUCKING way, yet;
Hya! Hmm? Wonder what Raikkonen would say if he's told that Fernando's Faster
than him?
