If this doesn't make Kimi look like the biggest douche alive, I dunno what else could. $45M and still he's disinterested in his job as a professional race car driver?!? What an assclown. No wonder Ferrari is willing to pay him to GTFO of Alonso's car next season. Alonso in a Ferrari is going to be a force to be reckoned with... too bad I'm not a fan.
