Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Interesting F1 Observation

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Actually, I've always been a big Kimi fan.  Just *love* those
interviews.

However, I've been disappointed by the Kimi performance.  Seems
he lacks motivation.  Hmmm...    Maybe is spending too much time
researching that new condo in the Swiss Alps?  Whatever....

Tires (tyres??)?  I dunno.  I still think it is a motivation thing.  I've
seen this a million times over in other areas.....   Guy gets big contract,
loses interest.  Golf, hedge funds, basketball.  F1??  Whatever his
specialty is, he loses interest.

Hans.
