@@mountain_dewd It still doesn't work sometimes.
@@ciaronsmith4995 any specific parts which YT wants cut? older parts which are not from liberty media should actually work.
@@Razer_Dash Yes please do this
The best thing about Kimi's racecraft was that he always left enough space for his opponents, even the ones you saw in this video where the opponents went off track while battling Kimi, there were actually just enough space but they messed up themselves under the pressure.
Smooth, precise, and always respectful.
And now with that in mind, we compare to the Puntlord of Mercedes, the Copse Killer from last week...
@@UnnamedThe Aww baby got some hard racing now its too much for you. Im sure Karen Horner will listen to you cry lol
@@Chris-xl6pd Since when is Horner Hamilton's Boss? I don't understand your comment.
@@Chris-xl6pd are you okay?
@@Chris-xl6pd Haha, hamilton fans be like. Bruhh moments
1:37 “he’s only 23”
damn, time goes by, he was at the time the same age Max is now...
And everyone expected him to beat Schumaher
and here i am turning 26 on wednesday having accomplished nothing
plus alonso was world champion at 22
@@Rainaman- Well, he would have if he wasn't the unluckiest driver of all time. Also he did beat him in 2005.
@@Rainaman- Well, he did. In 2005
@@HECKproductions Damon Hill didn't even make it to F1 until 32.
Everyone at their own pace lad.
Thanks for showing people the truth of how Kimi is one of the greatest ever. Smooth and fair driver. Faster than Schumacher and Lewis with the right set up. He’s actually completely underrated by fans. But people who really understand driving technique know how good he is.
You understand it mate
@@Iceman-_-07 the knife edge he drives on is incredible
@@markoeberhardt3132 true
Raikkonen leaves exactly a car’s width when he’s racing, and leaves it up to the other driver if they want to dive into that gap. None of this pushing off the track that you see from most drivers these days.
People seem to forget that he is so good that he almost drove lotus into bankrupcy
Prime Kimi is easily on same level as prime Schumacher, he deserved more then one title, but luck was never on his side sadly
If Ferrari weren't so centered around Schumacher they'd sign Raikkonen in 2002 to drive alongside him. But Schumacher had a special stipulation in his contract which allowed him to say no to team mates Ferrari considered signing. Ferrari considered signing Mika Hakkinen for 2000 but Schumacher told Ferrari they minute they did he'd leave the team...
At any rate Ferrari should have groomed him to become Schumacher's successor. Alas it wasn't to be until 2007. In fact, just to tie in with my previous point, Ferrari were beginning to doubt Schumacher since he lost the 2006 title to Alonso and prepared to sign Raikkonen for 2007. It's not entirely clear how it happened but reports said that Ferrari made it clear it would be "Raikkonen/Schumacher" for 2007 or "Schumacher retires from Ferrari". Since Ferrari announced it so late Ferrari also made sure Schumacher had no time to find a drive in a competitive team. He thus has no other option than to retire.
@@paulallen8109 Raikkonen signed for Ferrari in 2005. It would have been Schumacher/Raikkonen but Schumi stepped down to allow Massa the nr. 1 spot in the team. He didn't have to, but chose this as a tribute to his longrunning wingman Massa.
@@Mazname You think Schumacher step down? Ferrari said fuck you and kicked him out along with Ross Brawn and Jean Todt to allow the Italian to take back control of the team
@@kai325d3 Schumi was afraid of racing alongside of Kimi.
@@kai325d3 well that wouldn't surprise me actually, we are talking about Ferrari here! The story I read was that Ferrari really wanted RAI and The Michael had the opportunity to kick Felipe out and race with Kimi - he was thinking of retirement already and thought that Felipe deserved the shot. Who knows!
Fastest man on track in the early 2000s in my opinion.
That goes to Montoya or Michael
@@arminass1681 Absolutely not. Kimi was clearly the fastest, but his car was not reliabe.
@@grandg3578 also true he got the reliability curse
@@arminass1681 Well Michael often had the best car and the raw speed of Montoya was insane, but in my mind Raikkonen was up there with his race craft and tire management... a close call I would say!
I agree. The most exciting to watch. I realise Montoya was brilliant in flashes, Kimi was brilliant more often, Alonso relentless and Schumi was the 'reference'. Without Schumi at the top of his game to race them and compare them to, I don't think we would rate them so highly.
Hope you guys are all well and good.
6:32 look at the throttle and breaking Tracking there.
Kimi uses a stabbing throttle pattern in this clip vs Fisichella’s More standard Brake and Throttle Pattern.
If you slow the clip to .25, you can see that Kimi uses a touch of throttle 4 times during the corner as he is braking, so as to not totally lose the speed and momentum he has.
Truly, it allows him more control, and the ability to brake later.
His amazing amount of feel for throttle and brake Control is Astonishing.
Truly one of the greatest to do it.
What a great comment. You are so right!
Didn´t Senna have a similar technique?
Schumi did the same always
@@TheNotoriousT yes he did
@@robertjansson72 indeed
I've always been a Schumacher fan, but as with Michael himself... the day the Iceman retires, a part of me dies. Truly a GOD who deserved so much more.
11:16 will never fail to blow my mind. how he manages to give seb _exactly_ a car's width in a CORNER i will never understand
Precision
Today he crashes into him hehe
@@petrabanjarnahor229 haha yeah. funnily enough, seb was overtaking on the _inside_ in austria
You know what's amazing asw: he raced that precisely... in a car he despised. An understeer machine and yet he was still capable of such clean driving.
Some perspective folks Kimi entered F1 in 2001 with only 23 races under his belt. Verstappen entered F1 with 47 races under his belt. 2 years later he challenged Schumacher for the title. Think about that 2 years into f1 and you are challenging a 6 time world champion who had decimated the entire F1 paddock the year before and the years prior and you fight him to the very end and lose out by only 2 points. Long live the Iceman.
That too lots of grumblings in the paddock, because he didn’t have enough races under his belt and other drivers saw him as dangerous.
Kimi and Lewis two drivers who entered F1 and showcased true amazing talent from the get go.
Drop the hate, go watch it.
Alonso entered F1 with 24 races under his belt and turned out to be a significantly more consistent performer than Raikkonen
Imagine Kimi in a Ferrari he woulda won the ship!
11:17 on Vettel was sooooo smoooooooooth! That could've been an overtake from Vettel, but because KimI pushes him legit as far as possible to the side Vettel can barely carry a lot of speed into the next corner, such a good defensive move!
its also amazing that Kimi has left him enough space to stay on track
@@anakinB11 looks more like he's stepping off to get into the faster line. if he had pushed him out harder he would only have lost his pace drastically.
Its like he pushed him out but he didnt push him out
my god those early 2000s cars were so good to watch.
They look so light on their feet and sound so good.
It was literally the worst era for racing though.
@@Chris-xl6pd It would be as bad today without drs.
@@nakki123 fo reel
Kimi’s incredible respectfulness and racecraft was on full display in monza 2020. He was way up the order from where the car should’ve been and was being overtaken near constantly. But he gave each driver a fight as they went past without being reckless in his defense. Pure legend
Pause at 11:27 and you will see a perfect example that Kimi is the most polished and skilled driver.
Kimi knew how much to push Vettel on the side. He left him space exactly for 1 car and he let Vettel to be the desicion maker, either he stays and goes off track or lets Kimi through.
I have never ever seen in my life a moment where Kimi does unrespectful overtake.
You know, he is not gonna be in F1 forever and i just enjoy every racing event in F1 like it's the last one.
Relentlessly clean driver. Its insane
This was kimis worst season in f1 btw. Driving a horrible car with disgusting understeer on corner entry and snap oversteer on corner exit: the complete opposite of what kimi needs in a f1 car.
And yet he could still show the entire grid that he easily had the best wheel to wheel racecraft
Matter of fact hes by far the best and cleanest ever in that
If you wanna know just how good Kimi is, watch the full 2005 Japanese GP. One of his best race. Started in 17th and finishing 1st...
Amazing and faster driver
He is in his 40’s and still has the most spacial awareness and finesse in wheel to wheel racing
Hes my all time favourite
Bruh Kimi on his prime can literally go head to head with Schumacher and Alonso. If only reliability issues didn't plague him in the early 2000s
You mean they can go against Kimi right?
But Senna eats them all for breakfast
@@sticktothefacts8905 tbh id love to see senna vs raikonnen
@@sticktothefacts8905 And Prost eats Senna while both being eaten by Ken Miles
this guy is a special driver no doubt - unlike many drivers he has driven many types of cars other than F1 including rally on ice and sand - his first race steering wheel broke he carried on to pit waving the steering wheel in his hand as he pulled up to save time .. known for doing more thinking less talking ..
Clearly, he should be a 3 times champ! He was the very best in his prime!
After Alonso
@@mariogv4083 Equal I would say.
if he had the same car as golden balls he would be up to 9 by now fact not fiction !!!!!!!!!!!
@@allanhughes7859 who is golden balls?
@@mariogv4083 Mr Hamilton......... the one/two car wonder !! Alonso would also be up to 9 with the car !!!! Thats for sure !!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up watching this man drive the wheels of what was always not the strongest car on the grid, and still managing to win and fight against better cars. The master of passing on the outside line, should have won 3 titles instead of one (F1 gods were not on his side), my favorite driver, will really miss him when he retires.
Sad day for so many F1 fans he have in Asia.
Realy the Best
I have watched F1 since Senna's maiden championship. Senna was extra special, but Senna also worked, worked, worked his ass off. Kimi is the most naturally gifted driver I have seen with my own eyes. Unlike many other championship drivers, Kimi has had a remarkable lack of contact with other drivers, ever. Todays kids cannot manage to compete for a corner without hitting each other half the time.
Nothing can beat Raikkonen start from P17 to P1
That moment really really legendary for his career
Great clip Ciaron!.So many drivers have quoted “ I’ve seen Kimi do it” & the perfect example is Max in 2015/16. He is absolute genius in the heat of a GP, and there is NO-ONE else ever! on the absolute limit who is that smooth and that fair at almost all times. That's what makes him the best for me. There's something rare about any sportsmen can have skill, be brutally tough/quick, yet never cross that line of trying to take someone out illegally. Its the one thing that team mates and opponents alike reflected in rugby/soccer in my youth. Maybe that's why Kimi resonates so strong with me.
11:55
Jesus christ, never knew kimi had such a high pitch before
As a kid he suffered an injury to his throat making him sound a bit weird. It's gotten better over the years but you can still hear it
@@fridolfgranq Yeah it was a bicycle accident or something when he was a kid? Could have been something involving motor sport as well, I can't remember
@@Mazname He hitted his throat in the bike pole
2:14 That cut is montage material, real smooth
how can Kimi even fit in an F1 car with those sized balls
Hatk
Kimi in my heart is a 7 or 9x world champion ...so many unbelievable moves....so many left out...that drift overtake in particular...2x
OG F1 fans know kimi as the goat
These DTS and pubeless fans have their brains of peanut's size...
Max would have pushed everybody off the track in these scenarios...
Lewis is freaking overrated... But a good driver nonetheless...
@@dhruvak9205 🤣🤣7 time world champion ‘overrated’. Ok 👍
i love how he intuitively seems to know how to squeeze people to the edge of the track, but always technically still a cars width
The fact that he overtake incredible racers as well not to hit him... Imagine if he tried all these moves vs Mazepin
Lol I DO NOT want to imagine the furious radio messages from Raikkonen if that happened
That was a great era in F1 with big egoistic personalities like M.Schumacher, Ralph Schumacher, Montoya, Villeneuve then Alonso joined that party. Even the team principles and engineer leads had a bigger than life personality. Among all that, Kimi always let his driving do the talking.
The perfect example of a hard but fair racing driver. Respect to Kimi, legend!
he still the iceman
all the memes aside kimi is one of the all the time greats especially in mclaren he could easily be in contention for the fastest formula one driver on pure pace
BEST part is 5:45. When The Eau Rouge used to separate men from kids. ONE HANDED PASS !!
I was looking exactly for this comment, that one hand manoeuvre was insane!
It was two handed though?
Kimi is the last of the "old school I do this for fun" race car drivers...and the king of "deadpan humor"!
never seen someone judge distance as well as kimi. always gives enough room, gets millimetres away from the other driver and always comes out perfect
thats why i've alway been a fan of him. he was so fast commentators just could not believe the moves he pulled out of the hat
Just entering into a Kimi appreciation k-hole and man is Kimi ever an epic racer. Those V10 Mercs required so much car control at the limit. What a sensational talent in F1. Every move in this video is absolutely epic.
These camera work really show the speed of cars compared to what we see today.
Kimi as usual a Leged!!!
You can still see some of his impeccable racecraft even when he is driving the Alfa Romeo. The way he attack and defending is still top notch.
He should have at least two world championships if Mercedes engine didn’t let him down. We might love Kimi from the bwoah meme, but I have been Kimi’s fan since his McLaren days.
2004-2007 was prime Kimi, nobody had more natural speed than him then
2003* too. Agreed.
2003 too, he could've won the title with 1 less dnf
Nearly brought tears to my eyes watching this. Real legends will know Kimi is up there with the quickest. Guy was an absolute beast in the 2000s, a legend with Lotus and one of the most consistent performers in the later years with Seb at Fezza. So close to being multiple WDC.
This gave me a real insight on how talented he really is. Amazing racecraft all round.
truly heartwarming to see so many cool scenes from the last good f1-seasons (2002-2012ish)
kimi is one of the all time greats in my opinion. Definitely deserves more then one world championship
5:13 just flat out
This happens when KIMI gets the DRINK
Hahaha, he always the unlucky one without drink... It happen to bottas last week, the British 2021 gp
Kimi is very good in his hobby :)
Kimi for World President LOL. You can only love this man.
The biggest tragic hero currently in F1 that I can think of. A single WDC hardly does justice to his incredible talent.
You don't know many of F1 tragic heroes then
@@maza19 I should have been a little clearer. I am not referring to F1 drivers who were killed while racing. I am referring to F1 drivers in the post-2000s era (which was when I began following F1)
@@sundeeptampa7656 ok then
Kimi!! What can I say. We love you Kimi!!
There was just something about how clean and effortless Kimi made everything look. Hands down the best wheel to wheel driver I’ve ever watched, and his car control was just as good, if not better than Schumacher. If he was ever with the right team at the right time, he would be in the GOAT conversation without a doubt. His numbers (which are still great) don’t truly show just how good he really was.
I think if there is any driver who has always been prime, it has to be Kimi. Give him the top car and top reliability, he will smash it. Even with Alfa Romeo, his defending is out of this world. And topping all of it, his racing is so aggressive and at the same time, very fair.
I get a little sad when people on focus on Raikkonen as a meme. The man was ungodly. He came into F1 on a complete and utter chance when Peter Sauber Signed him and then proceeded to blow the doors off everyone.
1:40 I love this bit of commentary, it lives rent free in my head.
kimi being kimi so iconic
I was inlove with his style since he step on the grid for the first time! What a rookie he was!
Looking back, his driving style is close to Senna. He's never the one to give the compromise. If you're going to crash by making a maneuver, back off. Because Kimi won't.
And then you can see him racing super clean and fair at the same time.
Senna was a very dirty driver! Kimmi never had to resort to dirty tricks...
@@senakssssarnab Senna was an aggressive and uncompromising driver, but he wasn't dirty. If there was a situation that's risky, it's your call. Senna will not back down. Kimi is definitely cleaner than Senna, but that doesn't make Senna himself a dirty driver.
@@darkySp Fair but there were some very avoidable moments on his part. Punting Nannini off in Hungary was one of those moments. Was a little bit funny that Berger did the same thing a few laps later though lol
@@squilldx5055 Yeah, it's reckless.
@@darkySp Senna was a very dirty driver. A fantastic but dirty driver, so was Schumacher! Just because Senna is dead doesn't me you whitewash him!
Kimi is one of the greatest drivers and on the same level as Schumacher, proven by his battles with Michael. Kimi is the GOAT
i dont know about that one chief i mean hes one of the greatest but not the goat
Greatest of 21st century
GREAT stuff mate!! Really Great. Just keep on!!
So many clips missing in this video because of copyright. The original is 15 minutes long. (Hungary 2012 vs Grosjean pass etc etc)
Kimi’s too much man 📽😤 that quotable at the end as well, I felt that in my soul
7.38, he saws at the wheel so quick, amazing!
The real Goat
Yep, he had everything
-speed unrivaled by anyone apart from Schumacher and Senna (confirmed by McLaren and Ferrari data - he is the fastest driver of 21st century)
-chain overtaking not seen by anyone apart from Mika and Fernando only in glimpses
-racecraft and clean defensive positioning that stood out from the rest of the grid since he came in (he used to create a train behind himself and keep oftentimes faster cars on better strategies for enitre stints behind himself)
-lightning quick time attacks in qually, used to get on poles by half a second or more (watch him in narrow or chichany tracks like monaco or imola)
-greatest car control and drifting skills since prime Nelson Piquet (maybe ever)
-wet weather master (not quite as Senna or Schumacher but close enough)
-adaptability to all technological eras (further validated by his long career)
-king of spa (goat track)
All the things he was lacking was within the team, i.e reliable and dominant car
@@isuckatthisgame Y E S !
He deserved at least three more titles, the awful McLaren reliability let him down
He's racing bcoz he loves it. His WDC is a bonus for him. Kimi is Legend.
Fabulous memories!! Thank you for a great compilation!! Kimi DEFINATLY deserved multiple championships 😟💕
I would go as far as to say he was the closest driver to Senna in Mclaren. What he did with that car was absolutely astonishing
Red Bull should’ve tried KImi for that second seat
So we had hakkinen... then this very young introvert weird guy comes... no fear of anything, talented of speed and clean overtaking... it’s like i feel love watching this
After Schumacher, Kimi is easily my favorite driver ever. There aren't too many drivers who have this much raw pace, smooth driving style, can be aggressive and yet make everything look easy with such clean driving tactics. He's easily one of the cleanest and best drivers in his prime
Kimi was a master of psychological warfare. At 3:31, it looks like he locked up his brakes, which made jenson slow down, intentionally, because he guessed that Jenson would slow down, and that allowed him to make the corner instead of going off.
Kimi always leave exactly one car width, smooth af
5:52 You can hear him let go off the throttle at the right time (earlier), so he can start accelerating earlier up Radillon to carry the momentum and higher RPMs. That makes him exit faster at the top instead of having to compromise for too much speed through the corner itself . Then you see how easily he does the overtake with so much more speed.
he downshifted
@@falconmanracer after letting go off of the throttle yes. Initially you hear the RPMs go down (which would’ve been opposite if he downshifted, as the RPMs go up) as he let’s go off, then he down shifts, and eventually up again
i really enjoy watching him race in F1, i like his style.
that 2000-2007 era was beautiful. maybe best racing ever
Can be the best era for cars but racing in that era was total BS....
I'm amazed by the way he manages to find grip everywhere, he throws the car at tarmac and it just sticks
9:28 Now THAT is what I'd call stunning and brave.
He's a legend, hands down.
Great work mate. He should have won more titles, definitely with McLaren. Prime Kimi was probably the quickest driver on the grid. Also, that silver West McLaren is probably my favourite F1 car ever, along with that iconic Kimi helmet.
Would love to see your full video. Any other website you can upload to?
love him...his corner entry speed is just so fast
What a great compilation ! I would like to have the informations about the GP and the years, but this video shows so well how Kimi was brilliant.
this is just 12 minutes of straight greatnes
Alonso may have won more championships and have successfully beaten Schumacher but kimi was max Verstappen of the early 2000s, less experienced when he came into the sports and almost handed it to the faster team with a faster driver but luck prevailed
People forget just how good he really was
Excellent compilation!!
Kimi is the OP driver this generation didn't deserve and due to various circumstances he's often not had the car he deserved. But he's always a delight to watch regardless of his machinery. Class act. And that vintage interview clip at the end 😂😂😂👍
Kimi is one of the most consistent driver I ever seen !
BEST F1 Driver for me......
one of driver that rly had to fight for his title lewis just get his 6 from mercedes cuz they dominate whole Grid
if it wasnt for the gearbox issue Lewis had in brazil Kimi wouldnt have been world champion 🤣
Nxx M so if Lewis hadn’t of lost he would of won? No wah
@@nxxm9507 And if Kimi had better car 2003 and 2005 he would have been 3 time wdc :D
@@nxxm9507 Wrong, if it wasn't for Kimi's car breaking apart twice and his neck once, He would have been world champion by more than just one point.
@@nxxm9507 if it wasnt for alonsos fk ups neither woulve been, just stfu
This is the f1 we want
Great compilation 👍
If i tried to drive like Kimi on F1 mobile, i could never stay on track lol
Thanks for the video... Really shows the potential of Kimi if given a good car
Kimi at 23 would make max at 23 go unnoticed
good one! Pure racing without DRS.
Absolute pace, absolute precision, clean and drama-less racing and overtakes. No punting or pushing others out of the track, no punting, no cutting off. It is sad that ever since Kimi came back to F1, he was never really in a top car, and yet he showed what a difference a driver can make an inferior car do.
F1 will be poorer without Kimi Raikkonnen.
Yes, we will drop out to watch F1 2022 when Kimi stop here.
To all the new people who come from watching Netflix series, watch any race from 2001- 2007 and his Lotus era. You would know why he could get away with being such a savage. He is more savage in a car than in interviews
11:27 this is how you race, force your opponent wide all you want but ALWAYS LEAVE SPACE. Nowadays drivers just go straight on until their opponent is off the track
Going to my first ever race this year… most excited to see Kimi
Me and my family went to Monza in 2008 and Barcelona in 2009, amazing memories. I think Vettel won for Toro Rosso and Button for Brawn, not entirely sure. If I'm not mistaken Kimi did not do so well on either occasion, nevertheless happy to see him and the others live. In Monza my dad had tickets to the front row in the first shikane, he wanted to see action, but that year it was raining in Italy and they had a flying start. Extremely grateful to see all of the drivers though! The thing I remember the most is the sound of an F1 car at that time. We jumped off the bus way to early in Italy and had to walk for something like 3-5 k, even from far away you could hear the engines roar and downshifts blast as if they were 10 feet away!
