Kimi Räikkönen

Probably one of the coolest drivers ever to grace F1 alongside James Hunt.

His part life-style may not have been to some teams liking in F1 but you can't deny that Kimi was probably one of the best drivers on the grid from 2003-09. He should have won more championships than he did!

Kimi won his one and only F1 Championship in 2007. Kimi won 18 races, 16 pole positions, scored 62 podiums and claimed 35 fastest laps in his time in F1.

Kimi is probably the must unluckiest driver to ever grace F1 and the amount of retirements he had no fault of his own were lots.

Kimi won his first GP in 2003 winning the Malaysian GP and he claimed his last victory in F1 at the 2009 Belguim GP.

Kimi started his F1 career in 2001 driving for Sauber, he then went on to drive for Mclaren and Ferrari before quitting the sport in 2009.

Kimi produced probably the 2 most funniest moments to happen in F1 over the last 10 years, when he said :censored: at the Brazilian GP in 2006 when Schumi first retired from F1 and the other one at the Malaysian GP where the race was red flagged and he went to the garage and got into shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops and started eating ice-cream.

Whether you liked him or not you can't deny his talent, he produced one of the comebacks of the past 10 season by starting near the back of the Japan GP in 2005 and went on to win it! Probably one of his best race wins in F1.

Did you like Kimi or Not?
 
Can anyone decipher this quote for me 'cos I'm damned if I can make sense of it.

Kimi appeared to have not lost any of his speed, Trackside operations director Alan Permane said: “From the first run he was pretty much there.”
“It’s very difficult to know where he should be but he was pretty much on the pace on the first run. He didn’t find a whole lot of pace during the day.
“I don’t see any reason why he won’t be on the pace – you can tell he’s a very, very experienced driver.

Is this a gesture of intent from Sky.They promised the fans a lot and this seems to be a good start.Will we see them at testing do you think.
 
Am I the only one failing to get excited about Kimi's return? I'm really trying but I just can't muster it

I just can't help but feeling for all the PR and blusto that at the best all we're going to see is Kimi scrapping for 7th with the Mercs all year and I think I'd rather remember him on peak form challeging at the front
