Kimi is looking a bit embarrassed what did you do Kimi?
quoteSilence, I'm talking Cold and of few words? yes, but this time the Ferrari driver told us all about him. From school ("I hated it" ) returning to Maranello ("A nice story" ) From the love for children ("I hope to have too" ) to disinterest in politics ("But once I have even voted" ) And at the end of all this talk returns to himself "The time to hang out in peace I always find"

To me, the part about Interlagos 2007 is the most interesting part of this interview. If I understood that right, this is the first time (I think it is?) that Kimi directly said that he overtook Massa during the pit stops fair and square, because he was just faster and not because Massa gave him that win. Massa has always been saying how he let Kimi win there, how he gave him that win and the F1 media were saying the same thing. But I always thought that that is BS, lap times don't lie. In a way I can understand why Massa would say that but I never understood why the so called F1 experts would see it like that

Indeed, that is very true. I am glad Kimi has finally spoken the truth about the subject.
I read the summary in Italian, there he says: even if I haven't managed to pass him (during pit stop) he would have let me pass. So it's kind of confusing
Does anyone has the complete original version in Italian? I would love to read it so I can solve a few doubts.

yes, that's right. the translation is wrong there. here is the original version
My Italian is not so good, but It's a lot better than a google translation. Let me read it and I'll let you know...
OK, lets see... he says: great memories. The story you all know it, there I won the World Championship with Ferrari. "A great race against Felipe (Massa), I passed him at the pit-stop. But even if I haven't managed to do it, he would have let me pass in front. He pushed as hard as he could, it wasn't granted. But the car was going pretty well and I made it. When I crossed the line, it was a great moment, true, but not that different to other races I've won during my career. Later it was great, but time was needed. It gets to you little by little, under the skin, but the first feeling is that of relief, you feel relieved because it's the end of a long season, you feel above all relaxed, but you don't immediately realize what you have done. But a great day indeed."
