"Raikkonen Calm Despite Poor Run"<- Am I the only one who sees the humor in this title? When has "Mr Ultra Vanilla" not been calm? Grin

LOL, you could replace the words 'poor run' with anything that Kimi has ever done.

"Raikkonen Calm Despite winning the world championship"

"Raikkonen Calm Despite huge adrenalin shot"

End of the day, the reason he is so calm, is because he doesn't care about F1 in general. He's said it numerous times. He enjoys driving fast cars and he's good at it. Add in the fact Ferrari pay him a lot of money and dont require him to take part in most of the sponsor crap he hates so much. It's hard not to be calm.
He doesn't care if he's world champ, just wants to go out and drive the car.

Raikkonen is a Finn. The reason he's so calm is that it's part of the Finnish character. http://psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20070116-000004.html

thing with Kimi is he's actually very wild. He has a history of drunken misdeeds. It's just when he's around the F1 side of his life he goes into that very quiet and Finish like mood.
