Massa Defends
Kimi's Drunken
Escapades
Felipe Massa has defended his team mate Kimi Raikkonen amid reports of more drunken antics from the Finn. Kimi was apparently drunk and foolish at a bar, again, but Massa does not believe this to be important. This is what Felipe had to say:

"In a world like ours, where there are famous people, the media can often exaggerate or even make things up."

Really Massa is right, this is not the important aspect of Kimi Raikkonen. Moving on the the important characteristic (his driving abilities) Massa had this to say:

"He has already proved that he is one of the best drivers in formula one. He will be fast and fight for victories, but I hope to be in front of him more often than he is in front of me."

This weekend's Australian Grand Prix will be the first test of Kimi's ability in the Ferrari under race conditions. This will also be the first indication of whether Massa can beat his more experienced team mate. No matter what happens, it will be a very exciting race.
