A sport race is a competition of speed, against an objective criterion, usually a clock or to a specific point. The competitors in a race try to complete a given task in the shortest amount of time. Typically this involves traversing some distance, but it can be any other task involving speed to reach a specific goal.
A race may be run continuously from start to finish or may be made of several segments called heats, stages or legs. A heat is usually run over the same course at different times. A stage is a shorter section of a much longer course or a time trial.
Early records of races are evident on pottery from ancient Greece, which depicted running men vying for first place. A chariot race is described in Homer's Iliad.
Running a distance is the most basic form of racing, but races may be conducted in vehicles, such as boats, cars and aircraft, or with animals such as horses or dogs. Other forms of racing are by cycle, skis, kicksled, skates or wheelchair. In a relay race members of a team take turns in racing parts of a circuit or performing a certain racing form.
Kimi-Matias Räikkönen (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈkimi ˈmɑtiɑs ˈræikːønen]; born 17 October 1979 in Espoo) is a Finnish racing driver. He drives in Formula One for Lotus in 2012. After nine seasons racing in Formula One, in which he took the 2007 Formula One World Drivers' Championship, he competed in the World Rally Championship from 2010–2011.
Räikkönen entered Formula One as a regular driver for Sauber-Petronas in 2001. Having previously only raced in very junior open-wheel categories, he was given his Super Licence from the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) after a performance delivery promise by his team boss, Peter Sauber. He joined McLaren Mercedes in 2002, and became a title contender by finishing runner-up in the 2003 and 2005 championships to Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso, respectively. Räikkönen's 2003 and 2005 seasons were plagued by severe unreliability from his McLaren cars.
Räikkönen switched to Ferrari in 2007, becoming the highest paid driver in motor sport with an estimated wage of $51 million per year. In turn his move to Ferrari saw him secure his first Formula One World Drivers' Championship, beating McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso by one point, as well as becoming one of the very few drivers to win in their first season at Ferrari. In 2008, he equalled the record for fastest laps in a season for the second time. After one more year in the sport, he left the Ferrari F1 team to drive a Citroën C4 WRC for the Citroën Junior Team in the World Rally Championship for 2010. Along with rallying, Räikkönen has turned his attention towards NASCAR, and made his debut for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series.
Do you run to the edge
Do you follow the lives
inside of your mind
Motionless are the ends
Do you wonder now
as the lights go down on you
Let me into your world
Last where nowhere
and nothing's killing time
Far away from myself
I remember times when I was fine
If I could Then i would Hold on
These days are coming round
and If I could then I would
wash away the time with these days i'll never...
Our pictures for ourselves
We push away the one that gets too close
I'll burn the light in your eyes
I remember the times when i was fine.
If I could then i would hold on.
These days are coming round
And if i could then i would
wash away the time with these days i'll never find.
Take me
you know i'm waiting for you
Show me
I should've listened to you
No doubt i'm waiting
I am on my knees for you
It's fascination that breeds
With every corner
that we have left unturned
We'll collapse just tonight
I remember times when i was fine.
CHORUS
OOOOHhhh
These days i'll never find
These days i'll never find
When you feel as though it corners through your brain,
Don't ask why.
Until you're mine.
Feel everything accessible is mine,
It's like a hurricane in your soul.
And you notice that the others say goodbye,
So turn your eye.
Feel your own.
Cause there you'll go around
And around and around
So she said I'll come around.
Dreaming this is never found.
Time is moving on.
What I decide is better than,
Memories felt through my head.
And I am so alive!
Where did all the days go when I dream?
My machine, and I feel.
That everything in front of me is gone.
It's like you feel the same, when you're alone.
And you know that I don't think that we should stay,
shift your eyes into his own.
Cause there you'll go round,
Around and around
and around and round.
So she said I'll come around.
Dreaming this is never found.
Time is moving on.
Time is moving on.
What I decide is better than,
Memories felt through my head.
And I am so alive!
I am so alive!
So she said I'll come around.
Dreaming this is never found.
Time is moving on.
What I decide is better than,
Memories felt through my head.
And I am so alive!
We've got to shout it out now!
Shout it out now! Shout it out now!
Shout it out now! Shout it out now!
You commend my dreams,
And take me home.
Comfort me cradle me
Live for me arms spread out
Temper lights a fire in me
The shape of you breaking through
Desired are the chosen few
Standing on the edge of ecstasy
The taste of your skin
My body is giving in
And I'm falling into you
As you let yourself go
To the edge of the world
And I'm falling into you
I'm falling into you
Close your eyes and sacrifice
I'll breathe you in till I get high
The center of your world pulls me down
Oceans rolling over me
Crashing into you I see
You call for me
And I relive
The taste of your skin
My body is giving in
And I'm falling into you
As you let yourself go
To the edge of the world
And I'm falling into you
I'm falling into you
I come undone, I come undone, I come undone
I come undone, I come undone, I come undone
I come undone, I come undone, I come undoneג€¦
Comfort me cradle me
Live for me arms spread out
Temper lights a fire in me
The shape of you breaking through
Desired are the chosen few
Standing on the edge of ecstasy
The taste of your skin
My body is giving in
And I'm falling into you
As you let yourself go
To the edge of the world
And I'm falling into you
I'm falling into you
Falling into youג€¦
I'm falling into you
I'm falling into you
I want to be with you, I want to be with you
Look at me I climbed so high
Why you want to bring me down
Hear my voice I cried so loud
Why you want to hear no sound
I want to bring my desires
Higher and higher to you
But all about you disappears
And I don't know where anymore
And I don't know where anymore...
Your eyes are like two sapphires
Gems from a deadly sea
Cold stones but dark, lit no fire
Lifeless as I can see
I'm going to conquer your fears
Cut deeper and deeper through you
I want to follow those tears
But you wouldn't cry anymore
But you wouldn't cry anymore
I want to bring my desires
Higher and higher to you
But all about you disappears
And I don't know where anymore
