We didn't know we needed a collection of Haikus written by Kimi Raikkonen, but then the Japanese Grand Prix always throws up a few surprises. The Ferrari driver put together a book of poems to mark this weekend's action at Suzuka and they're as classically Kimi as you could imagine.

Ever the jokesters, Mercedes' media team took to Twitter to offer their own Haiku – aping something of a classic Raikkonen radio message from the Russian Grand Prix…

Kimi, do the opposite
to Hamilton please.
