Together with Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, Kimi was guest of the last FIA pre race press confence in this season. Ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix in Interlagos the Finn spoke about the forthcoming race and his fealings about it.

Question: Kimi, I believe it was a bit of a big day yesterday, your birthday.

Kimi: Yeah, but when you get older, it’s not the same any more. When you’re young you’re more excited but it was a normal day really.

Question: Was there a bit of a celebration?

Kimi: No.

Question: Sunday evening, perhaps?

Kimi: I think we will celebrate something else. I never really remember when it happened last time, usually we’re too busy.

Question: In a situation like this, does Kimi Räikkönen get nervous?

Kimi: I think you are always a little bit nervous every race, but I try to do the same as in any other race, I try to do the best I can, I try to win the race, be one and two and then it’s not really up to us anymore, so that’s really all we can do and hopefully we can achieve that.

Question: You’ve finished second three times here, obviously you’d like to improve on that, but how do you feel about this circuit as a whole?

Kimi: It’s a nice circuit, it’s quite challenging. I have quite a difficult race history here over the years. I enjoy it now, but it’s going to be a little different with the new surface and nobody knows how good it will be, so we will see tomorrow, but it’s always nice to come back to this circuit.

Question: Has it seemed a longer season than normal?

Kimi: ... (inaudible) the races go quickly and it has been the same for me this season.
