The host asked Kimi what he thought of the Abu Dhabi circuit. Kimi had earlier said that the “First few turns are good but the rest of it is sh*t“. The Finn agreed with his previous comments and said, “ The last part of the circuit is not very good. It’s very twisty there. It was better than I expected so it wasn’t too bad, it was quite wet so I slipped around and got a bit sideways a few times but it was good fun.”
The host then showed the audience a clip of the ‘fun.’
The clip shows Kimi nonchalantly setting a timed lap as if he were going to the market for groceries. The Finnish driver looked visibly bored and even stared out of the window to apparently see a ‘helicopter.’ The clip ends with a classic Kimi one-word answer, ‘oops’ (pity it wasn’t ‘bwoah’). Words can’t do the video justice, you just got to watch it to take it all in.
