Kimi who?

So you may be wondering why I have named this post Kimi who? The reason for this is because certain sections of the media in my opinion appeared to completely overlook the fact that Kimi Raikkonen won the GrandPrix.

I was watching Sky News last night, and in the headlines at the top of the hour it was Sebastian Vettel who came first in the headline's as he closes in on his third title in three year's and then came the news that Kimi Raikkonen had won the GrandPrix.

I was listening to the BBC Sports news on BBC Radio 1 at 10.30 this morning and when it came to Formula One there was no mention about Kimi winning it was all about the fact that Vettel had come from the pitlane at the start to finish third in the race.

Now I'm not denying the fact that Vettel drove well yesterday, however and it is a major however I want to point out firstly he was helped by the fact that there were two safety car periods during the race, secondly he is driving arguably the fastest car on the F1 grid this season so of course he was going to come through the field. Thirdly his team-mate Mark Webber who was ahead of him was ordered to 'box, box box' to allow Vettel through. Before he pitted Mark was told not to challenge his team mate if he was in a position to pass the Australian and when Mark ignored the order he was told to pit.

Another thing that I found appalling was the fact that during the podium celebration's after the race Vettel swore live on TV. Now I know what you're thinking, that's petty, however I would like to point out the fact that Formula One has a global television audience that includes millions of young children who many would look up to Sebastian Vettel as their role model and to hear their hero swear live on television is in my opinion extremely bad however that is only my opinion.

It is well known that I am not a fan of Vettel, he may be a great driver, however I believe that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for him to use the language he did. David Coulthard, who was conducting the post race podium interviews apologized for Vettel's language however Vettel just grinned and said nothing. DC even went on to say that the driver's were speaking in their second language however in my opinion that is no excuse.

When you look at the Lotus team, Kimi took the name's first win since the 1987 American GrandPrix.

Race winner Kimi Raikkonen also swore however his was nowhere near as bad as Vettel's and he
