He'll also shove photographers that get in his way:

Raikkonen still thinking about his future

Defending Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen is still deciding on how much longer he will be in the sport. As of now, Kimi’s contract with Ferrari goes to 2009 and Kimi has yet to rule out retirement from the sport at that point.

"There has been rumours like that many years," Raikkonen said during Thursday‘s press conference in Montreal. "I always say I have a contract until the end of next year. I haven't made any decision if I'm going to keep going or not. That is the last contract I have and we will see what happens this year and next year."

"I wouldn't stop if I felt I would miss it afterwards. For sure I would find something else to do and maybe that I would enjoy more. I don't know what is going to happen after next year, I haven't made my mind up. Who knows maybe I make my decision this year. I think I will race as long as I enjoy it, it is the right thing for me. It could be in four years' time. It is too early to say,"

Raikkonen also admits that the reason he may be retiring is because he doesn’t enjoy Formula 1 as much use to. "I like the racing and the other stuff is not always the best thing," he said. "Everyone in F1 is here because they love racing and driving, but when there are too many things that you don't enjoy or too many things you don't want it is time to go away. It can be anything. When you find something you don't want to do or don't enjoy... If there are things like that or don't work out anymore. There can be many things apart from racing, then probably it is the best time to go away."

Kimi Raikkonen's Monaco Grand Prix could have been much worse

Apparently there was a bit of a whoopsie made by officials at Monaco last week. We all know that Kimi Raikkonen was penalized for not having his tires properly fitted at the three minute signal. Raikkonen was given a drive through penalty for it early in the race, but with all of the carnage early in the race the penalty didn't hurt him that much. Surprisngly, that penalty wasn't supposed to happen. Instead Raikkonen should had started from the back of the grid or from the pit lane and no that's not my opinion that is what the rules say.

Rule 38.5 in the F1 sporting regulations reads: “When the three minute signal is shown all cars must have their wheels fitted, after this signal wheels may only be removed in the pit lane or on the grid during a race suspension. Any car which does not have all its wheels fully fitted at the three minute signal must start the race from the back of the grid or the pit lane. Under these circumstances a marshal holding a yellow flag will prevent the car (or cars) from leaving the grid until all cars able to do so have left to start the formation lap.”

So there you have it. Now we could sit here and get into one of those "what could have happened" talks if Kimi had to start from the back, but I certinally won't because it would give me a headache, but go ahead conspiracy theroists start your "engines."
