I'll just get to the crux of this post.....Kimi qualified sixth for tomorrow's Turkish GP. C'mon and give me a big woohoo!
So considering in the last race he was second on the grid, it may appear like a setback but all things considered, it is progress. Monaco has always been an anomaly in terms of actual development progress so the real barometer of the Ferrari comeback should come tomorrow on an actual race circuit. And for Kimi to out qualify his teammate on what is Felipe's supposed untouchable track speaks volumes of Kimi's own progress this season. I think the return of slicks is really enhancing his driving style.
Ok, just excited to actually go racing (haha, I'm so deluded) tomorrow. Hope all is good and goes well. Off now. Crossing fingers and actual praying will occur for Kimi to get another podium :D
UPDATE:
Looking good for Kimi, just saw the fuel weight distributions for the grid and he has the heaviest fuel load out of the top 8 drivers. This basically means that he can stay out longer than the rest of the field and possibly jump a few positions if he can get in a coupla lightning quick in-laps before he pits. And if the car behaves. Here's hoping he can make a KERS aided jump up the grid at the start and run a podium finishing race! Best of luck Kims and here's a kiss for good luck (yes, yes, delusional, no need to point it out, am well aware of the fact :P). MUAHS!
