Kimi Drunk?

Saturday June 20, 2009

Let's have Mark Webber reach the top three in the qualifying or the race more often than he does. He's good for a bit of entertaining talk, this Australian driver. Today, it was his teammate, Sebastian Vettel, who scored his second pole position of the year and the third of his career. But Webber finished third fastest - behind Rubens Barrichello - and Webber might have had enough speed to take the pole. But he rightly blamed failure to set a faster lap on Kimi Raikkonen, who, in his Ferrari, interrupted Webber's qualifying lap by apparently inadvertently blocking him. Webber's response during the post-qualifying press conference was the high point of the talk.

Kimi was, I don't know, drinking vodka or dreaming or something," Webber said. "I don't know what the hell he was doing. He should have been on the right and he's on the racing line, dreaming, so that wrecked my rhythm into Stowe."
