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?
 
I missed the Drivers' Press Conference....but Sky lot were talking about it on the F1 Show, on at 10am today.
They asked the drivers if blue flags should not be used ...or something.
Kimi was the first to be asked to give an answer...
KR " If you don't want to get blue flags....you should be at the front."
Simple... :thumbsup:
 
On the race thread...Brogan has posted that Kimi is getting a 3 grid position drop penalty for impeding Nico R......
I was watching Quali...but missed that.
 
What confused me to begin with is why you had a video of what would have been this years HRT on the Kimi thread? Then I got to the end of the video.

;)
 
Both world titles for 3 years on the trot is quite a good reason. Not to mention he could cement his legacy if he goes up against Vettel and beats him.
 
Watching P3 on Sky.....it has just been mentioned about Kimi maybe going to Red Bull...it was said that Kimi & Seb are friends & play Badminton together...apparently Kimi always wins....
