16:20 Raikkonen winning the japanese grand prix, throwing both his hands in the air after crossing the finish line, was probably the most expressive he's ever been.
Many F1 fans do not know that those were not his actual arms but faux arms, a clever addition installed by his engineer and Ron Dennis that Kimi could deploy when needed so that he could appear to display emotion. You're welcome.
Around 2008, Autosport asked the F1 grid to name their best or favourite race ever. Kimi choose this GP, adding that after losing the title the previous race, he enjoyed every bit of winning from P17, especially the last lap overtake.
That lap counter is so small, that it looks so childish for me and why is it counting on remaining laps, when it can count how many laps of the race we have gone.
And not just. The smaller cars, quicker handling due to Traction Control, overtakes without DRS, refueling and higer rev limit made these cars fantastic. It was not perfect like some believe because the grooved tyres and bodywork made overtaking tougher, but unlike today's races there were multiple retirements due to engine bursts and accidents, beautiful overtakes and all-around strategies - something today's cars and races still direly lack.
Propably not, because if you watch the race, 90% of the race was just following leaders where nothing happened and only way to know that Kimi was rising was when commentators mentioned it, which happened like three times, as nothing was shown on the graphics. Back then tv direction was way worse than nowadays. This replay most likely showed every second that Kimi was on the screen or mentioned.
absolutely insane from kimi, easily the fastest driver on the grid that season. if his cars reliability wasn’t so bad all season he definitely could have challenged alonso much more closely for the championship
@@MashiatCOD99 when his car actually worked without failing to either the engine or hydraulic issues his pace was much above most of the grid. take monaco 2005 for example where he out qualified alonso by half a second, probably one of his most iconic laps, and then proceeded to make a 35 second gap to him in the race. imola too, he was pulling away massively until his car failed him but i’m sure he would have continued to pull away from alonso if his hydraulics didn’t fail. mclaren had a stronger although more delicate engine that season with an arguably better aero package too. however i am not doubting alonso’s pace either, he was in an inferior car in terms of pace compared to the mclaren’s although his reliability was much stronger but he still took many poles and wins that season too and well, the championship also 🏆
That Mclaren mp4 20 was so fast fastest car on grid but fragile unreliable. Kimi would of won the title that season if the car was more reliable. Bad luck poor reliability cost him the title. He was the fastest driver on the grid in the fastest car His pace throughout the season was sensational in qualifying and in races. Even more so in qualifying.
The car really suited his driving style. Reliability was the only problem with the MP4 20. Apart from the car was perfect by far the fastest car that season.
Sensational drive by Kimi Raikkonen by far the fastest driver that season in qualifying and races just unlucky with poor reliability which cost him the title in 2005. Won the race from 17th place brilliant move on Fishicella on last lap!
Watching that again makes me realise what we have in F1 now is a shadow of what it used to be. Even the camera angles and onboard shots were way better then. They gave a sense of speed and the onboards aren't the lame shakey cams we have now, you could actually enjoy watching them.
Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. The onboard felt fast. It felt like you were speeding down the straight. I'm sure the current angles allow you to show more. But it's just not exciting and feels slow. The 2017-21 cars were the fastest but they were slow to watch.
You're 100% correct. And today's drivers have zero charisma. They all look like boy band members. Montoya, Kimi, Alonso, Schumi, Alesi... they looked the part too.
Yeah, the old McLaren problem from 1999 till 2012: Reliability issues. They had often very fast cars but lost out due to so many mechanical failures. 😕

yes bro indeed, I was 12 at that time, I remember that except of the special tracks (Suzuka, Spa, Istanbul, Silverstone, Monza notably). we just had a few overtake every race (Budapest 2003 when Webber despite of being 1.5sec slower than Raiko behind him block him for 20 laps and offered to Alonso his first F1 win)
I was very excited last year watching the amazing talent of Max. Max is the greatest driver since Senna. No question that in a couple of years Max will be the GOAT.
The most frustrating season as a Kimi fan , but at least we got this absolute classic of a race and possibly one of the most iconic wins in the last 2 decades.
Watching this live was one of the best F1 memories i have.. i was simply awed by the sheer commitment Kimi had.. if i remember correctly alonso already had won the championship yet kimi was like FIRE 🔥
This race was epic it was only held 3 days before i turned 10. 2005 was my 1st year watching F1. Here I am 19yr later as a 28yr old (29 just 20 days after this year's Singapore GP) still loving F1
Two of the greatest overtakes in one race! Raikkonen on Fisichella, and Alonso on Schumacher. Both from the outside in really fast corners. Incredible racing.
9:33 the greatest overtake in F1 history, Alonso you beauty ❤❤, Alonso is still one of the best driver in the grid, last race was very unfair for him but I am looking forward for upcoming races. Go Alonso 💚 I love and miss this V10 engine sound ❤❤
This. This is peak F1 for those born in the mid to late 90's. The noise, the looks, the drivers, authentic overtakes, refuelling, James Allen and Martin Brundle, the speed, free to air TV. ❤
How cool is it that we get to see peak Fernando Alonso highlights from 2005 and we are here in 2024 watching his son at his peak with Aston? Wait… what’s that you’re saying, it’s not his son? Hmmm. Must be a cousin then.
A superb race, as James Allen (whom I miss as a commentator greatly) says, 'formula one at its absolute best!' Just one of those races that had so much overtaking compared to other years there (a bit like Valencia 2012). I still find it bizarre how Alonso ended up so far behind Schumacher and Raikkonen after his 1st stop. I suppose he was a lot heavier with fuel, got held up by slower cars and was not allowed to change to fresh tyres. Either way his skill was also brilliant and he still shines all these years later.
I'd actually say China 2011 more than Valencia 2012. Both Suzuka 2005 and China 2011 showed the best of that era. With Suzuka 2005, you saw how it was a fight with the main changes taking place at the end of fuel stints and fuel strategies culminating in one of the great moves by Raikkonen. With China 2011, you had an overtaking fest with the excitement of two versus three stops with the three coming out on top in the end from a great move by Hamilton.
Kimi during his McLaren years is quite possibly the fastest driver ever. He had huge talent during those years, let down by porcelain cars. They'd blow up every other day.
Kimi still had to lift off behind Fisi around 130R. And when he overtook Fisi around the 1st corner, it was brakes and throttle at the same time. Wish F1 would regularly show throttle and brake position now.
Thank you for uploading this as a Kimi fan this year was absolutely brilliant I fondly remember cheering for Kimi so loud after he overtook fisi I woke my parents up 😂😂

Without DRS and ERS, just simply engine power and aerodynamic.
Much less aero, actually. It's the sophisticated aero that makes overtaking difficult...
And Traction Control.
Made the overtaking so much more interesting, with DRS Alonso and Kimi would have just driven by their opponents.
In all fairness this overtake would be far more difficult in this Era of cars, as they are comparatively poor in following
