His middle name is Matias??

Heres a pic of kimi opening the new TAG Heuer shop in Abu Dhabi yesterday..(Kimi's got his own line of TAG Heuer clothing)

Pic was taken by a guy who lives there and didn't realise that it was happening till late..(hence the rather poor quality camera phone pic)

Wow... he's actually out of uniform!

hahaha, but you can see the red collar of his shirt, under the jacket..

hehehe Yeah.

I was imagining - he shows up in his red shirt, and TAG locate a grey shirt in a frenzy and hand it to him. He throws it on backstage, second before being introduced

Hahaha, just what I was thinking too...

The guy on the left is Raz, (the guy who took the pic) and the guy on the right is Mark Arnall..(kimi's trainer/physio).  Raz had a chat with Mark but he wouldn't be drawn on where Kimi was heading next year.. They say that Mark Arnall is a great bloke...

Is there a new image?

Yeah, can't you see it?

No

I'll post it again!...

I gots nothing

LEaving now, will check in later

Shite, I've posted it twice...OK..

hmmm.... now both images are showing.

Sorry andro!

No worries,Deezee..

Phew, I thought I must have had a problem.. 

must have been the servers, or maybe ImageShack...

Hmm.. yeah, maybe

World's biggest Ferrari store:

I'm gonna steal that counter

Great vid deezee, Raz mentioned that Kimi was at the Ferrari store as well, but he didn't make it there..

A great way to advertise.....

NICE!!

Cept not many would see it up there....

LOL

A few pics from Abu Dhabi... 

Night Lights......

Day lights....

Ferrari World.....

Lookin Down......

Williams.....

Red Bull.....

Ferrari......

There are heaps more pics, but Andro has run out of time..(for now) 

Wow, the night lights are spectacular!

But what's with that Ferrari roof?

No idea, the pics don't come with captions!...I could ask Raz though, as he lives there..the last three pics are his..

ahhhh

Man, he has some access!

Yeah, he sure does..

Speaking of access....

I haven't been able to find a live feed yet

Ok the thing is part of the roof of the Ferrari World theme park, where you can ride in simulators, take driving lessons, ride roller coasters, an interactive museum and a theatre with an Italian-themed play and many other things...It is supposedly one ot the greatest theme parks in the world..(Or it will be when completed)

Me, just watching live timing for a bit..not very exciting..

If you look at the aerial view of Abu Dhabi (above) you can see the red three conered roof of the theme park..

FOUND ONE!! http://www.justin.tv/p2pstation_net216

Yeah, I saw that, which is when I realised it wasn't just a canopy or something.

Wow....next race to attend might be Dubai!

Hamilton
Button
Vettel
Barrichello

Schumi and Massa are there.

Brawn, McLaren and half of Red Bull are the usual suspects...ferrari pathetic, as usual...

One more hour till quali!

Soon now...thanks OneHD

Whooops

Better go put the chai on and do the dishes quickly

Made my Fake F1 list while watching quali - http://twitter.com/dekrazee1/fake-f1

Fake F1 ftw!

Kimi doesn't make it to Q3. Not surprising, but was looking hopeful for a while there

Gosh, it's a gorgeous circuit with the pink skies at sunset

Ah bloody Lewis. Stole a 1,2 from Red Bull

It will be his turn to win the WDC for England next season

Hah!

Oh, which reminds me of something I read. Hang on....

From grandprix.com:
Did you realise that an English driver, in a Mercedes-engined car bearing the number 22, beat a Brazilian to the World Championship by finishing in fifth place in Interlagos - for the second year running?

spooky stuff...

...reminds me...a good Halloween to you

You too

another whinging Finn...it's no wonder the aussies love 'em

I thought the aussies only loved Webby

Him too, though I don't know why. Webby only cares about Australia during one race...he doesn't give a toss during the other sixteen...Too busy living it up in GB/Europe...

* declared weights

Declared weights? What's that? Don't they all get weighed by the stewards?

Dunno...perhaps nobody cares over 690...should be the last time we have to worry about them...

Damn

Not looking forward to no refuelling

Ferrari are

BTW Kovaleinen is now P18...put down 5 spots for a gearbox change...

oops

Almost time for the race. So excited

Muahahahaha

YES!!!! WEBBY DID IT! He hung on!!

Dang nabbit! Kimi ends up being behind Lewis by a point! A POINT!!!

(How did Kimi get to 6th anyways)

Ferrari were pathetic in 2009...It was good to see LdM throw his headphones off in utter disgust on the pit-wall yesterday...

Button and Webber managed to salvage a bit of interest in the final laps, otherwise it was another very boring, overhyped race...pretty lights, giant yachts and rich visitors should not be what F1 is all about...

Yeah... I did lose interest in the middle...

And it would seem so did the cameramen, cos they kept showing the circuit instead of the race

Yes, you're right. There was an awful lot of scenery filmed...

Yeah. It's pretty in parts, but got darn annoying

With no refuelling next year it's gonna get even more boring. Let's hope the new teams cause a bit of carnage...

Well, the hope would be that they all start off on an even footing....

Then again, we could well have a double diffuser-type situation again

What situation was that? You mean someone might think of something quite within the rules and not tell their competitors about any advantage it might bring...what terrible business practice

Well, the hope would be that they all start off on an even footing....

What exactly do you want? Identical cars, weights, fuel loads, tyres, and all driven by Schumi clones???

...and starting at 10 second intervals...

What I want is simple.

Remember that last lap racing? I want that in every race, every lap.

Ok, I'll settle for every two laps

Wow...is that all you want

I do hope all your dreams come true, sweet thing

Fanks

That was a good season for us Button fans, but pretty bad for the one-eyed ferrari nutzo-zealot on here...and I don't mean you dek...

Still can't believe there was only one point in it.

D'oh!

Lewis was better than Kimi...the pointscore shows that...

By one!!

*shaking fist*

I believe he was also a lot better than Kimi, last season

umm... and who's disputing that?

it was an observation not an argument...

Okay

nite

G'afternoon!

did you sneak off to bed before me?

I might have

grrrrrrrrr

What?

Oh, nothing...

Okay
