Q: (Péter Vámosi – Vas Népe) Question to both Finnish drivers. Are you interested in a day competing in the Race of Champions as Team Finland? Mostly the question is for Kimi as you had opportunities with testing Peugeot at World Endurance Racing, NASCAR, whatever, so you have really tried out many cars. And Valtteri, what are you interested in more; to compete in Race of Champions or Stars and Cars?

KR: I’ve been asked to be there many times but I always said that once they go back to how it started with rally cars and then the proper circuit with the two lines, with the gravel and asphalt, I’ll be in – but before that, forget it. It’s not… it’s a show, that’s it.

VB: Yeah, I’d be up for it, I like to drive anything with an engine and at least two wheels, so I’m up for it. I don’t really know much about those competitions, I’ve never really looked into it but I’ve always liked driving so…

SV: …but you need a team-mate and you’ve just lost him…

VB: Better change the competition then…

There are LOADS of other great Finnish drivers out there that could compete alongside Valtteri.

Well, there's a young rally driver that just won his first WRC rally today in only his fourth participation in a WRC car :p

Bottas & Lappi should make a good Team Finland :)

I've never been Kimi's greatest fan, but sometimes he does get it absolutely right.
