“What I admire is people who are grounded and resistant to all kinds of whisperings. Kimi Raikkonen, for example. You may like him or not, but he lives his way. He does the things he has identified as worthy for him and he is not trying to be everybodyâ€™s darling. At least he doesnâ€™t give that impression. He is straightforward and honest and he tells you if he has a bad day. Period. He is real. Heâ€™s not political. Heâ€™s never up to something. If he doesnâ€™t want to tell you something he will say so and not hum and haw. He doesnâ€™t beat around the bush, never coming to the point.”

But he is not a man - he is a mushroom!”
