you know you've witnessed a historc moment when you see a guys like Ron Dennis and Kimi Raikkonen exploding with joy
And u see Ron crying in the interview then u know how much he loves f1 and the drivers
When asked in 2015 if he remembered back to this race,
Kimi responded: "Yeah."
Obviously a win he still deeply savors. Good job, Kimi.
"Yes, yes, you don't have to remind me every ten years" is what he was really thinking.
Definitely sounds like him. Lol
In 2005 race Kimi was taking a shit so ended up at the back of the grid
@@klamklam88🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫵🫂🫂🫂🫂🙏❤️🔥
2005 was really Kimi’s year. He won more races than Alonso who became champion. Only Mclarens poor reliability held him back.
Kimi and Alonso wina the same 7 races
But McLaren also faster
Even if we only count races both have finished Alonso would still win the championship...
@@justjulian872 But that's not how it works. Kimi lost three 100% victories because of unreliable car + 1 win because he got a puncture right after leaving the pitstop. So he lost total of 4 wins not because of his driving mistakes. Alonso's only retirement came from driving mistake and every single one of Raikkonen's lost wins led to Alonso's wins.
So if Kimi didn't have the reliability issues, he would have had 11 wins compared to Alonso's 3. Ofc I am a bit biased because I'm a fan of Kimi but he would and should have won 2005 like he should have won 2003. Unfortunately for Kimi, his car couldn't handle the Iceman.
@@Rikuzki he didn't lose three 100% victories. In Imola he retired in lap 9 and at the German GP in the middle of the race. The puncture at the European GP was probably caused by a driver error in lap 30. McLarens reliability issues were probably part of their tactics. They gave Kimi more power resulting in Wins and Podiums, knowing that it may cause technical failures. I think Alonso deserves his title but so would Kimi.
I don't know about 2003 on the one hand he would deserve it cuz he finished only 2 points behind Micheal having 2 DNFs more but on the other hand it would be strange to see someone winning the championship with just one race win whereas his main rival has 6.
I'm glad that both of them are champions of the world. His title in 2007 was epic.
lol Mclaren 10 years later at Suzuka...
+darkness2121 With a GP2 engine...
+darkness2121 With a GP2 engine...
+darkness2121 Well instead of starting from the back of the grid you can put the two mclarens of 2015 in a One-Two position. You can see how they will drop down during the race to 17-18. That would be good to see too. A lot of overtakes...

+darkness2121 "GP2 Engine...... AAAAARGH!!!!!!"
probably the best comeback race in F1 history. there where many comebacks but none like this. no help from a major crash pile up or a sudden rainfall or anything out of the ordinary. just a head down pure racing lesson.
2020 Meet Mr. Perez
@@iancrossley6637 checo the bullet
@@iancrossley6637 Perez is great and I love him but there were alot of factors not skill related in that race he won.
John Watson won from 22nd on the grid at USA 1983 and unlike Raikkonen he was in something like the 5th fastest car at best (McLaren were awful that year)
The Mclaren MP4-20, possibly the best looking Mclaren ever, also propably the best car ever, not to win a Championship winning 10 races out of 19.
+G Dixon I feel like some of the old late 90's/start 2000's McLaren cars looked good.
You know,with that sweet and slick black and white West livery? Those were the times...
+Matthew Panini Yeah definetly, the MP4-13,14 & 15 were great, but I've always had a soft spot for this car, I loved the low nose, swept back bodywork, & of course those horns on the airbox!! 😃
G Dixon Was never much of a fan of the 2006 cars though.
The grey and red Vodafone look just didn't fly with the swift look of those 06,07 and 08 cars.
Also the 70's and 80's McLaren cars didn't look back either.
I think it was the fastest car of that season. Just very unreliable
G Dixon also the worst reliable car ever
"Ralf predictably stopped for fuel and tyres"
Even F1 is ashamed of acknowledging the no tyre change rule.
+McLarenFan They could, but only on extreme cases (see Kimi Räikkönen, Europe 2005). For all intents and purposes, tyre changes were banned.
Most idiotic rule ever, it was probably there just to stop Michael Schumacher from winning.
+McLarenFan The tyre needed to be unfit to continue, essentially a puncture, but it was clarified to include significant flat-spotting after the aforementioned European GP
Back then was no tyre chang, but refuel is ok.
Now refuel is banned, but tyre change is ok.
Actually it was not most idiotic rule. It created racing where you were punished for your mistakes. If you lock up, that is going to hurt you. And it was not just enough to make tires last 20 laps, you had to be fast for same set of tires for 60 laps. We had some really good races back in 2005.
Granted i like to see as much action in pit stops as possible with as little arbitary "you must do pit stop" as possible. If somebody managed to design a car that does not have to do a single pit stop, they should be allowed to. It should be made so difficult to design that kind of car that fuel would be extremely limited, but it should be allowed.
As much variety between teams as possible without putting smaller teams at disadvantage is great in my opinion.
they had times were they didn't refuel and they had times were they didn't change tires.
there is no "IF anyone manage to designe a car ... " if fia would allowe it they could build cars that will run 100 laps on spa without pitstops needed. they can build cars that sound good look good and could run way more the 400 kmH. the fia just doesn't allowes it.
Still remember this race. Those days Raikkonen was a class apart.
Formula One 05 classic moment here.
There is usually an interview with current drivers about the race....there isn't one with Kimi....this is why we love him!!!!
well there was, They asked if he remembered and looked back at this race, And he simply responded: Yes. :)
+koos vriendloos "And ehm it was great" 😂
Byzantine Kimi give no fuck 😂😂
I think this was the very best moment of Kimi's career. Absolutely magnificient.
the proof that he was the best on the grid at that time.
Probably one of the best races and wins in F1 history.
The peak of Raikkonen's career.
Surely the peak of his career was when he won the title at Ferrari.
Jonathan Ashby
Nope. He was nowhere near as fast that year. Politics decided the title for him.
martinh88 yup too bad McLaren fucked him over they own him two championships
Vorpal I'd see it such that the McLaren was quicker, the Renault more reliable. The McLaren simply had not been reliable enough to win the title.
True, he was not as fast in 2007. But certainly Räikkönen did deserve that championship because F1 is team sport, and as team Ferrari was much better in 2007.
Well he knew what he was doing.
Back when McLaren could win races...or score podiums...or finish in the points.....or not finish last....
+shadowdawg23 Hey,don't be so hard on the current McLaren Honda.
They have the best GP2 engine. Alonso even said so himself.
LOL
They could only win as many as they could finish, which wasn't many. They had the fastest car but a pretty fragile Mercedes powertrain.
Muhamad Ubaied gp2 engine gp2, agh!
Or win from 17th place start without DRS to make overtaking easier.
You should Upload complete Grand Prixs from the early 2000 era on this Channel.
+TheIceman22 With this FOM?
That's like asking a policeman to kindly let out a prisoner because you're his brother.
You'll get a big fat *NO* in either case.
+Matthew Panini lol
Matthew Panini Ehm, seems like you were completely wrong
2 years later, liberty uploads a Grand prix from the early 2000s on this channel.
For some days, i know, but they did
It’s not like they’re making any money off of these races.
2005-2008 one of the two golden eras of F1
Which is the other? But I agree. 2007 and 2008 are my favourite seasons.
For me the other golden era is 1998-2000 the Hakkinen-Schumacher rivalry.
How about we just settle it and call it the 1998-2008 era? :D
Ivica Pavić no you can't settle it, because between that years there was domination of Ferrari and Schumacher
desert 321 70s
Kimi is a legend because if he wins or loses he’ll always be the same
Wow, that MP4/20 was such a machine. It had that powerful Mercedes Bengine!
...
Probably one of the fastest cars to not win a championship.
alonso is the luckiest man in f1...the record for most wins in a season and not win the title happened 2 times-both in his championship years
THERAZORKILLE Productions You sure? I remembered they replaced it with the MP4-19B that season
simeon kutsarov Alonso is the luckiest man in F1? That's an interesting thing to say.
thats what i call unlucky... lol..
Here after Kimi’s announcement of his retirement. Didn’t think I’d be this sad lol. At the end of the day, I’m just grateful I grew up watching the Iceman do his thing, on and off the track
2023 now rewatching during 2023 F1 Mid Season Break.
Kimi was in the 00's (especially for McLaren and first season for Ferrari) so fast and ballsy, sometimes I miss that from him these days, he could've given the merc boys a hard time
One of my favourite moments in Formula One. This is also the season that hook me up watching F1. This is the race that I became a huge fan of Kimi Räikkönen.
Thank-you Peter. Keep up the amazing work. Your insight is priceless, particularly for these 00’s races when I most remember your face in the trenches. I hope the haters don’t stop you from continuing to do what you do- &&& in the way you do it. Your “interruptions” during your partner interviews are from your excitement for the sport. Bring it on. To hell w the haters. Cheers 🍻
man that sound, and refueling pitstop!
What a race, what a day that way! One of the best drives by Kimi.

"Ralf stopped for fuel and tyres"...
In 2005
It was only a matter of time before an FOM mistake was in one of their own videos
Jarno Kockelkoren FOM?
Formula One Management (FOM)
My favourite race ever in F1 history.
I loved it so much. 😃
Also that I am a big fan of Iceman.
The best race I've seen in my life. Raikkonen deserved that 05 championship, his car failed in many of the initial races of the season.
Back when Kimi was the fastest driver on the grid
I just love this 2005 McLaren.. According to me the most beautiful F1 car ever...
Also Marlboro Honda livery with yellow helmet
And those two devil horns. He was on fire in 2005.
We Love you Kimi! I was watching that Race Live back then. Yes Suzuka is one of the greatest Tracks and should be the Final Race
Incredible race. It had everything and more!!! One of the best passes off all time by Fernando and Kimi hunting the leader down and on the last lap passing Fisi
I couldnt wait for the live stream
That year race was so amazing!
Thanks for these videos
Just watching todays race, and looking back to that. Damn I miss those cars, atmosphere and racing. :(
You gotta wonder if Kimi still has it in him to pull off a drive like this.
+The Undisputed I think Monza this year showed us that he does even though it was still considered a disappointment. Would have been a boring race without him :D
+PieniPinkkiSukka Is it just me or has he struggled ever since they banned traction control since 2008? There's pretty far between his good moments the past 7 years. I like Kimi but he hasnt delivered...
+Rottensteam i recommend another look into the 2009, 2012 and 2013 seasons then...
+saturn185 08-09 he sucked in a good car, 2012 one win and 3rd in the championship, 2013 one win. Sure it was in a Lotus, but we really cant use the Lotus years for anything but speculate if he would be good in one of the faster cars.. 2014 Alonso could get much more out of a bad car, and the same so far this year. 2003 and 2005 and 2007 he did good, and in those years the cars had traction control.
Rottensteam yes he was outclassed by massa in 2008 but you are seriously telling me that the 2009 ferrari car was good? and the point about 2012/2013 is only that he did well with the car he had and not a what if...and 2014´s ferrari was much better suited to alonso because he was there since 2010...
great race and overtakes
F1 conversation in youtube.. priceless ! Forza Kimi !!
Amazing race! Bravo, Kimi!
reporter: kimi what happened?
kimi: bwoah i won
That was definitely an amazing race as same as Spa in 2000. Kimi's overtake was breathtaking and fantastic maneuver which made every F1 fans exciting. Super overtake and victory of him. No doubt to be the best JapaneseGP.
That year he deserved the title
0:51 "pitting for fuel and tyres"
I thought tyre changing wasnt allowed in 2005 lol
it was allowed after Raikonnens failure in Nurburing. One set per race max
@@greekhoplite9868 still pretty dumb lol
Who’s here after watching the full race livestreamed?
I'm here before the 2019 suzuka gp. Two week break feels like forever
0:32 , that kills any modern Pirelli tire right?
beautiful memory
Classic Kimi. So long !
Hearing these cars in 2019 makes me wanna cry
We will miss you kimi..!!
Monster drive! Fantastic
Best F1 eras that I saw:
1998-2001 Schumi vs Mika when they had good car both,
2004-2006 Kimi vs Schumi vs Alonso
2016 Rosberg vs Hamilton going literally head to head some times crashing eachother out.
Kimi was and always will be a cracking race driver, he will always fight for position...Even if all hope of a win is very unlikely....He will fight till the very end, and it has won him many races, like this great race!!!
raikonem is the most driver shud hav atleast 3 wc in his cupboard... 03/05/07 which he did won
Archiworks 992 yes but he will be more happy if you fix your typo
In 2008 Kimi was the best at the beginning of the season, but Ferrari had to kick him out... gave him an old suspension and so on. They screwed their last champion.
Hope the 2019 weekend will be exciting too.. only 2 days to Friday practice 🕺🏻🕺🏻
Still remember the iconic scream from James Allen like "YEEEAHHH WHAT A BRILLIANT MOVE".
Just one of the all time classics races and back when F1 was loud and fast.
This was one of the best races ever !
i love it watching over & over again😍😘😍😍
Superb driving 👏 😎
Ah man i remember this, good days hey
Kimi still has it!!
Looks as excited as ever in the press conference at the end.
Thats the most emotion I've seen from Kimi
Absolute classic
this was the happiest ive seen Kimi in a race
Love you Kimi ❤️❤️❤️
Suzuka is truly F1s circuit of circuits
Happy birthday Kimi 💙
golden era of f1 these cars were possibly fastest ever (if they would have slick tires) and there was real competition in top teams oh how i miss those times
and sounds of those v10s
This race is engraved in my memory. I was 13. It was amazing.
wow epic race
God damn this is the real formula 1. Im not talking about the sound or the looks but about racing, pure racing, refuling, sprint stints with amazing camber for grip not tire saving small cars with a lot of downforce large rear wing and smaller front for better overtaking possibilities, amazing top speeds. I don't know where f1 is going but it almost feels like it needs a revolution. Im no expert but the only thing f1 needs to again be like this is:
1. cheap, easy to make engines so there is no big power difference between different engines and small teams can actualy make their own instead of relying on some -50hp mercedes engine because lets be real mercedes doesn't give the same engine they use to williams.
2. refuling. Just do it... Don't make drivers save fuel because that makes racing dull. Have enough fuel so they can run full race 100% or have refuling. Your choice.
3. more aggressive aerodynamics like the ones from 2005 and more freedom in designing.
4. get rid of the drs, make rear wings big again and smaller front ones so drivers can drive closer plus there will be less rear wheel punctures.
5. Please for gods sake get rid of so much team controled cars and electronics, telemetry and that bullshit make drivers work/drive their cars.
And finally make f1 more fan friendly. What I mean by that is make it accessible to everyone via social networks especially youtube. Not everybody can see race on television so why not post the race or just the highlights on youtube or let somebody else do it. Now you take down everything that fans upload. For fucks sake this is free publicity and you take it down because of copyright.
Dumbass, even in the refuelling era they were saving fuel
There WA sparely any racing in the refuelling era. It all happened in the pit stops.
UllWarg i know what you meant the balls that drove the drivers to glory
UllWarg I know it is I don't need everybody commenting that in vintage F1 videos
Agree on all points. About #4, have you seen that double stack in the late 70's Gilles Villeneuve Ferrari had? That was the most ridiculous amount of wing since the Spruce Goose, or maybe a Pterodactyl family outing, but I loved it. :D
One of the Best Races of F1 2005 and Imola.
The bitter sound of the mclaren MP4-20 was one of the best things in the 2005 season, alongside the sound of Alonso´s reanualt :D
The timing on the RUclips algorithm was impeccable 🙌🏼
Que nostalgia me da ver estas imagenes. Alonso compitiendo de tu a tu y que motores. Esto si era F1 :)
I miss this F1
Why am I like proud mother seeing him
Go Kimi!
Good job Kimi 👍
I miss this kimi :(
I really wonder if Mika Hakkinen could've done what Kimi did in that race
Suzuka '88 and '89 need this kind of video too
I want cars to look like this again :(
+GhostsKuriboh I think they should have this year with a bit of 08 07 in them
+GhostsKuriboh FIA ruled out refueling at the world council meeting. Which in a way is good. 1. safety. 2. without it more overtakes. (provided shitteli) don't get the tyre contract
+Dylan Cotton That's a load of shit. Refueling should've returned.
Also the whole "safety" argument is an even bigger crock of shit. IndyCar uses refueling for years and they never had any accident in the recent years.
Mayble F1 drivers need to learn not to speed away so incredibly fast and then we won't have any fuel hose related incidents like in Singapore 08 with Massa.
+Matthew Panini Well if you look at the stars from the refueling era you will see overtaking was much much lower than in other years
***** yeah, when I saw what the cars would look like in 2009 I thought it was some kind of joke, they were horrid and aren't the best now, 2005-2008 was my favourite era and as you said the 2017 cars are looking good
Damn love that things like horns at Mclaren car
GOAT KIMI
May be one of the best drives in F1 history, not just of his career.
The tone reminds me of the old Sam Posey preludes..... which I miss dearly...
best f1 race ever
Watching the best of Kimi, after hearing is retirement :(
For me, the 1997 Japanese GP at Suzuka can't be beat
It was great. Yeah.
Bwoah, good old days...
Yup. Was Kimis best race... until the US Grand Prix in 2018 (this year). Easily saw the Kimi in this win in the way he handled and controlled his race
17th to 1st around suzuka (very hard to overtake) without DRS. What a beast kimi was. Best driver ever in his prime
from what I have seen so far 2005 season was the most badass season of F-1.
Once upon a time when Kimi has a motivation and ambition.
You mean a few hours ago when he just got a second row in qualy with that crap Ferrari? C'mon , he's aged i agree, but he's still got it.
Or sunday just couple of days ago at Hungary when he was faster than Sebastian for most of the race.
Granted Sebastian had technical issues so we don´t know his true perfomance. Kimi has always been better at race than in qualifying, so Vettel`s faster pace on quali might not mean he was faster. But Kimi certainly was in harder position, being behind his team mate who had to slow him down and being in front of charging Mercedes cars.
Still does.
that s definitely the best kimi of all time
The greatest race I have ever seen and the fastest driver I have ever seen from 2003- 2007. PURE GENIUS. Where is this DRIVER?????
In 4th place
koos vriendloos He is suffering from hard tyres. Seb cant touch a prime Kimi.
+Ciaron Smith - in 2005 the tyres were way harder because michelin and bridgestone had to develop the tyres in that they could last a whole grand prix distance.
Mark FormulaRacer In 2005 the sidewalls were WAY thinner than in previous years. That is the key. They were easy to warm up. And the downforce the cars generated was far more than anything today. Hard should not mean, hard to warm up and slide for 3 laps. Any high performance tyre should be easy to warmup, provide a ton of grip over the lap. Pirelli finds these two mutually exclusive and incompatible. Michelin did not. If Pirelli brings a hard tyre it is durable but has 0 grip.
Ciaron Smith so kimi is only good with pirelli supersofts ?
