Hi Heikki!!! :D

I hope you have a good season with renault.
Anyway, i would like to ask you about finnish drivers...but someone already asked that...so i would like to know how's the routine of a formula 1 driver and what you think about the relationship between the press and formula 1.

Greetings from Brazil!:P

Hello Heikki,

Where would you be happy finnishing this season?

I think behind Button, Schumacher and Raikonnen would be a great result, i.e. 4th

Hi Heikki,

Good luck for 2007 - I think you'll be very competitive and will definitely have the upper hand over Fisichella over the course of the season.

One thing though - what effect, if any, has the change of tyres from Michelin to Bridgestone had on driving the car?

Hi Keikki

I'm really looking forward to reading you column through the coming year!

My question to you is, how did you feel beating Michael Schumacher in the Race of Champions? It was the first time I saw you drive and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end!

Happy new year Heikki!

I am looking forward to the new F1 season and seeing you compete. I have seen you compete in GP2 and Race of Champions and you look impressive. Can I ask please, what is the biggest difference between driving a GP2 car and an F1 car,and how much harder do you think it will be to compete in an F1 season? Best of luck to you smiley

Welcome Heikki to the top of the tree. I have two questions for you: 1) Nordic drivers are represented in rally and F1 in numbers per capita that lead the world. Is one of the reasons that you must cope with ice and snow from the beginning of your road driving career? 2) Do you get the opportunity to advise the media on the correct pronunciation of your name; It seems that your admirable Finnish predecessors did not - or perhaps didn't bother. Good luck from Den at -21* Celsius in Montreal

dont see any other drivers on here doing that!

good on you Heikki, backing you all the way, good luck and have a great season.

Could you see yourself being the best finnish driver everin F1? Do you think your the man to stop Alonso and get up near to Schumachers records???

Moi!!
believe that it's a fantastic idea to be able to read your opinions and sensations on the championship throughout this next year.
Good luck in Melbourne and regards from Spain.
