So, Happy Christmas to you all!

I’ve been off-air for a while, so I thought this would be a good time to catch up and just let you know what I’ve been up to. Obviously, I’ve been working pretty hard on trying to get things sorted for next season; there’s nothing to announce yet, but stay tuned in the New Year. The one thing which has been confirmed is Kimi Raikkonen’s almost full-time arrival in the World Rally Championship. And what fantastic news that is!

Having driven for the Citroen Junior Team last season, I know that he will fit in well there – and the C4 WRC is an awesome car to drive. I don’t know Raikkonen, but he was impressive when he drove his own Abarth in Finland last year and I like his attitude. He’s not too worried what people think, he’s just there to get on with his driving. It’s certainly going to raise the profile of the WRC next year.

As for me, well, we’ll have to wait and see. As well as working hard on potential deals to land a drive, I’ve also been working flat-out on the fitness and nutrition side of things – even during the holidays it’s important not to let that slip.

I’m spending Christmas in Africa, which, believe me, is considerably warmer than London right now! I did some deep sea fishing earlier in the month, which was great fun. But, the thrill of bagging a big fish doesn’t come close to rush of setting off into a stage in a World Rally Car.

For now, hope you all have a great holiday and I’ll talk to you again soon.

Ciao.

Conrad.
