Kovalainen-driver of the year

Tonight Heikki Kovalainen was awarded the prestigious driver of the year award at the Finnish Motorsport Awards.

This is a huge achievement in his racing career of just 4years to be awarded a trophy that in previous years has only been won by people competing at the highest level (Raikkonen, Gronholm, Makinen, Hakkinen to name but a few).

2004 has definitely been the best year for Kovalainen: he is the World Series Champion (dominated the championship), has been testing with the Renault F1 Team, will be competing in the Race of Champions and has now won this award-not many other drivers can say they have had a year this successful.

Hopefully this is the year that will get Kovalainen thrown into the spotlight and have people take notice of his talent.

Well done to Heikki. His career is progressing very well and at a sensible pace. Probably the best product of the Renault Driver Development Programme and a thoroughly decent guy. When I get round to posting it, he will be in my Top Ten for this year.

I was referring to his racing in single seaters, karting wasnt included-although he was great when he was competing in them too!

Kart racing was originally invented in the 1920's for DTFLR (Dwarves that feel like racing).

After the war dwarves were banned from racing due to the fact they were simply unbeatable and since then only kids use them.

Hope this helps.
