Kimi fall asleep during race in Melbourne!

Post

Kimi said:

"We knew that the start was crucial: I gave my all to hold the position I had conquered the day before and I succeeded. Once ahead of the pack after the first turn, things became slightly easier, although I could not communicate with my engineer Chris Dyer. We knew that our rhythm in the race was very competitive: I did not have to go to the limit, but maybe if the radio had worked I would have gone faster. On one occasion - just about ten laps before the end the race - I almost fell asleep! I got distracted, my concentration levels dropped a bit and I blocked the wheels and took turn number 3 slightly too wide: even without radio I knew that they were saying: 'Kimi, wake up!'"

unbelievable.

Sounds more like he's got some serious mental health issue.

Its amazing he's so calm but you can't help thinking that he is trying to phsyc out the competition. 'Winning is so easy its boring' kind of thing.

Why's this in aero chat anyway? should be in general.
