Re: Lotus Drivers in Person

While I don't know him personally, in his public appearances Kimi sometimes comes off as a bit of a dick. I don't expect people to be cheerful, great company or even that friendly. But I do expect them to be polite and professional. Kimi is indeed extremely privileged but his lack of education and ...
