I can remember the time when German television channel RTL asked Kimi for an announcement at there channel and he said no. Bos they were baffled and I enjoyed that so much because I can't stand these RTL guys.

[@tylerensminger]

Can't believe they got Kimi to sit down to do this podcast. Fantastic job guys

[@chanchaniceman]

Tyler Ensminger he’s more likely to do these type of interviews that is more relax and enjoyed these type which is more conversational and have no chit chat B.S which is something the press conferences are..

[@_Razpberrie]

Well he mentioned he got forced into it, so it's probably in his contract lol

[@richboy900]

@BoneYard I thought the same, but more because he's near the end of his f1 career

Kimi has to be the race driver that all others should consult in how to manage your working career to your personal life. Admittedly TC does his job of enticing Kimi to talk about his career and his personal life but Kimi manages the questions well. Surprising, finding out that he doesn't have a plan was intriguing but that's how he managed those questions. This is an interview where if it was done 10 years ago, wouldn't be possible. I enjoyed it so much.
