But there is just something so bland, dry and almost simple about him that he is absolute anathema to F1.

What F1 needs is people with personality and - at the very least - an ability to provide some coherent feedback to the viewing public. Kimi just can't force himself to do it.

I don't hate Kimi and I won't argue about his driving, but interviews with him were just painful to watch and listen to. It was almost as if he were TRYING to be as blank-faced and disinterested as possible.

That is not good for F1.
