My favourite Kimi interview, is after a race and the regular interviews they ask the drivers if they would like to say a few words in their native lanaguage, Kimi said yes and then proceeded to wish all the mothers in Finland Happy Mothers Day in finnish 😂
Kimi in 2018 being interviewed- So Kimi how did you manage your lead and claim the victory? Kimi- The Mercedes was not coming at full speed, so I won the race.
Gotta love Kimi. Finnish people don't use many words, because they are so long. But it's not rocket science, said Suihkuturbiinimoottoriasentajaoppilas
True story: I installed/programmed/integrated a light management/control system at his house in Baar, Switzerland. I thought I was all by myself when Kimi showed up out of nowhere and asked me if I want to have a coffee. I said thank you, maybe later and he said no, later he would be gone. So it was him making the coffee and not the maid and we had it on the terrasse of the topfloor with a very nice view - an absolute silence.
I agree, I remember it well, he had a cheeky smirk when he said it and Martin looked mortified before realising it was Kimi, that's how he is and just laughed and moved on!
My man Kimi dropping facts like they are marbles. I miss him, and will tune into NASCAR only to see him. He looks so happy. Wish it was a full time gig though.
Absolute fucking genius. I sat in the crowd and watched him lap the field at Thruxton in Formula Renault 2000 UK, in Y2K. No-one laps the field at Thruxton. We knew he was going all the way to the top.
I get annoyed because too many people focus on the personality. I know between 2003-7 he was by far the fastest driver & the only one EVER to be so whilst being laser sharp & unbelievably fair. There is no-one around who is very much all those things All the time. Social media only focuses on self made memes. To him it’s just normal talk-which media present in isolation -it’s funny yet honest- why he is so liked. Maybe his unique & direct approach is what made him so naturally quick.No-one to this day can overtake as cleanly and creatively as Kimi. Ive been watching all forms of racing about 50years. He’s poetry in motion on track.
In the early days Kimi was a bit camera-shy, Finnish impressionists made fun of the fact the he basically answered "eh... I dunno" to all questions, even in the Finnish media. He did improve to the point of actually answering the questions pretty fast though.
Kimi was driving around town in Switzerland, when he sincerely wondered: "Why are these f*kn people staring at us?" His friend replied: "You are Kimi Räikkönen in Enzo Ferrari."
As a fishing writer I loved my Finnish assignments with fishing guides. Peace and quiet and no noise pollution with unnecessary bullshit stories. No small talk in Finland, that is something I'd love to have in The Netherlands
when i was a kid watching F1 with my dad kimi was my favorite driver and i dont even know if i had a good reason why, but i think it makes sense now that ive grown up and see these clips 😂
We're just not used to be famous people being honest and being themselves, not bullshitting us with motivational speeches about working hard to make anything possible.
One of my favourite Kimi moments was back in the Malaysian GP 2009. The race was red flagged due to heavy rain, Kimi gets out if his racing suit and heads to Ferrari hospitality and gets some ice cream lol. Other drivers were waiting in their car/garage, Kimi couldn't give a shit
I like when he talks about people in Finland being different. I've been living in Finland for over 10 years now have met various different types of Finns. Of course there is always some stereotype taking place (as it does in all cultures and countries), but I learned that a lot of Finns do not like to be put in a "bowl" of being all the same or even responsible for the way others of his peers behave. I think Kimi is one of these people, he always wanted to make sure in his personal behavior and personal life that he only represents himself.
The helmet? "It protects my head." The gloves? "It protects my hands." The steering wheel? "It makes me steer the car." The drink? "It makes me not thirsty."
Anecdotal experience. The Finnish people I worked with were very direct, I wouldn’t say they used less words per se, but they were straight to the point. That does make you use less words, I guess. 😂 Cheers.
