    Kimi does speak some Italian.  Not very much and it's quite funny to hear him talking it.  You should go to the well known video site (something to do with a tube!) and look for interviews where he has spoken some Italian, he looks dead embarrassed bless him. Embarrassed

    This thread made me think of this bit in the F1 magazine ages ago about drivers hidden talents and how some of them can ride unicycles, do magic etc etc. 

    Now i'm intrigued - who rides a unicycle and who does magic?  Can you remember?

    I just had a look through my magazines and I found it for you.

    Fernando Alonso - Magician.  He was taught by his granddad and according to this he han do a pretty neat impersonation of Kimi Raikkonen.  I would love to hear that Big Smile

    Nico Rosberg - Unicyclist.  Apparently Nico can also juggle while doing it.  Multi talented eh!

    Timo Glock - Scaffolder.  When he was in F3 he worked for his family's scaffolding company.

    Adrian Sutil - Classical Pianist.  His mother is a professional pianist and his dad was the former principal viola in the Munich Philaharmonic Orchestra.

    Lewis Hamilton - Guitarist and black belt in karate.

    Heikki Kovalainen - Helicopter pilot.

    Ha ha I would love to see that impersonation too, wonder if he can do anyone else!

    I remember ITV did a feature on Adrian Sutil and they showed him playing classical piano - very nice too!

    Back to languages, I suppose Felipe speaks Portuguese, English and, remembering that little barney between him and Alonso last year, Italian!

    Thanks for that!  What a talented bunch they are!  I think they had Sutil playing the piano on one of the F! progs and he was brilliant!

    .

     Heikki Kovalainen - Helicopter pilot.

    I am not sure if Heikki could be a Helicopter pilot. They asked him once, "if he didn't do racing what would he like to be?" he replied a Helicopter or a normal plane pilot.

    If he is a helicopter pilot, It will be hardwork for him to keep his license, due to his busy schedule. Unless he maintains his flying hours and than renew his license, he loses it, just like that!!!! 

    It will be most interesting to find a professional Pilot switching to driving even if it was a formula 1 car!
