Kimi is an enigma, and I love him for it. He’s deserved far more wins than he has, and that includes a couple of extra titles, too. Kimi is focused, driven and a cracking bloke. Underneath the facade is a humble, funny and caring man. You’re right Mr Illman, it will be a sad day when Kimi hangs up his F1 lid. You rule Iceman!🤘🏻😎💯❄️❄️
@@nickhill934 Genuine distaste for media is extremely valid. I just got off the BBC website complaining about that f/w Andrew Benson. Who always drops those snide little remarks, eg."2005 Monaco - that was because of the car being so fast". Others also with those dumb questions about motivation starting way back in 2009. The dumb media had no idea Alonso was already signed to Ferrari in 2008 because of Santander bringing in $50m per year with him. Had nothing to do with Kimi and was evidenced by them re-hiring him in 2014. It is exactly like Kimi says you have a great race and everyone goes nuts for you,the minute something goes wrong technical problem etc and no-one wants to know you. I wouldn't trust a single source outside your team (close friends )in that paddock its just one big viper pit, and its evident by how other "top" drivers play games in the press. What we love about Kimi is best described in one word. "GENUINE"! It comes through in his racing, he doesn't lie about stuff on track either, he is prolifically fast and undeniably fair. I've never seen a single racer who is at the very top of both those lists Always!. For me that makes him the best.
You can't deny respect to Kimi. It takes a real man to be able to walk through your life and do EXACTLY what you want, whilst carrying a sense of humour, an insane work ethic, a down to earth perspective and respect for others on and off track.
A little story There was autograph session on Russian GP and it was so crowded so not a chance to get a sign, I was about to cry when Kimi just got off from stage and gave me his signed card. Simply the best!
I remember the fuss when Kimi started in F1 - he was considered to be way too young. These days there are teenagers running in top teams. They have Kimi to thank for that.
As MyKoira said, the problem was people (I believe one of the most famous one was then-FIA president Max Mosley) thought he didn't have enough single seater experience (just 23 races) & that can be dangerous, not because he was too young. Alonso is 2 years younger & also debuted on the same race, while Button (several months younger) already have a full season in F1
Kimi is my favorite driver! I love to see the frustration on an interviewers face when he gets a three word answer! I hope he smashes the record for longest driver on the grid and amongst the current lineup I think he is just as valid as any of them to be there still!
As an American, I knew about Vettel and Kimi before I was even into F1. It’s gonna be such a sad day when Räikkönen announces his retirement, but it could still be a while until then.
Truly great, rich & precious video! Liked & subscribed! My favorite driver... I grew up cheering for him. He should be a multiple WC. As a character, he is quite simply unmatchable. I know for a fact that I'll be shedding some tears the day he retires :-( I hope I will have the opportunity to shake his hand one day. GO KIMI, FOREVER.
Interviewer: Kimi, how do you feel about this video, seems like it doesn't represent you as a very sociable guy, does it? Kimi: Bwoah - I don't mind. (shrugs) I mean, everybody can think what they I want. It's all the same to me. Everybody is free to have opinion.
0:28 that is actually tapiola big region of espoo rest of the espoo is pretty much big suburb area to Helsinki and there is another town inside ''Kauniainen''
I’m impressed that you’re keeping such a close eye on its progress. I have no idea if 100 today is good or not but I will take it. Many more videos to come so spread the word.
Kym Illman thanx for the reply. Well U got three hundred since my last comment so I’d say that’s good. Lol. 18.7k now Dec 8th 2019. It’s fun to watch your channel grow. The driver profiles are really something special. How U don’t throw dirt (cough cough Valtteri) when U could I just respect a lot. I look forward to everything coming. Thanks again from Tampa, Florida, U.S.A.
Hey Kym, love your videos. Can you do a dedicated one to 'the Scottish blonde lady with Ferrari' , I saw her briefly in another of your videos. Thanks .
On your pro star pics website I noticed that sometimes you have photo's of incidents from different angles, do you have an assistant or second photographer with you at races? i.e German GP where Nico crashed out and walks away, front on view and side on view.
Whilst he was happy with Seb.I found those times annoying because Seb kept taking him out and stealing his thunder on a few races when Kimi was actually faster. When kimi was in that Mclaren Mp-4-20.He showed the world what a master of speed he really was!
Lewis: I'm F1 most popular guy
Kimi: Bwoah
Me: don't be envious Lewis
Literally see kimi and instantly click on it
Total legend
He is just the most lovely guy on grid
Harvey 93 We are now three months without him

@@nickhill934 agreed
I think he sees a lot of the fluff around a race weekend boring. He just wants to drive and top up that retirement fund

You need to understand driving styles to fully comprehend his utter genius. Kimi is an all time great.
A little story

Daaaaamn!!! Awesome story!
I remember the fuss when Kimi started in F1 - he was considered to be way too young. These days there are teenagers running in top teams. They have Kimi to thank for that.
Wasn’t Alonso the same age?
Wasn't the problem more with him not having almost any experience in single seater racing
As MyKoira said, the problem was people (I believe one of the most famous one was then-FIA president Max Mosley) thought he didn't have enough single seater experience (just 23 races) & that can be dangerous, not because he was too young.

'Wide Kimi isn't real, he can't hurt you'
Wide Kimi: 0:19
An absolute unit.
"WIDE KIMI" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God I love Kimi , listen to him open up on the beyond the grid podcast . He lives and breathes F1 like driver's of old . Wish he could stay forever.
How did you manage to get so many pictures of Kimi smiling?
vdochev Persistence
Bribing with ice creams.
@@shashankshekhar9398 more like bribing him with Gloves, stearing weel and His drink XD
Kimi is my favorite driver! I love to see the frustration on an interviewers face when he gets a three word answer! I hope he smashes the record for longest driver on the grid and amongst the current lineup I think he is just as valid as any of them to be there still!
Gotta love Kiki
Kym Illman 😂 hahaha f@#$ing google speech to text!
kimi the greatest icon of the last 15 years in f1, ferrari's last drivers champion, thanks for the upload kym
I love when KIMI drove NASCAR " I need more Drinks , It's like a sauna in here , tell him next time to fill the drink all the way to the top." Classic
That last shot in the wet is fantastic!
His best friend is Vettel, you forgot to mention a bit more on that. Anyway great job don't get me wrong i love your videos and photograph. Cheers!
There's plenty I didn't mention. But hopefully enough to keep you focused.
6:40 that's a really nice picture
I’m a simple man When I see kimi I click
Matthew Fontaine I will note that for future videos. I’ll put his name in every title hey
@@KymIllman he's not alone 😂😂
Indeed a beautiful photograph with Kimi in his Alfa in the rain.
That last picture was amazing.
Glad it had an impact.
As an American, I knew about Vettel and Kimi before I was even into F1. It’s gonna be such a sad day when Räikkönen announces his retirement, but it could still be a while until then.
I concur
Lots of people love Kimi, he has accomplished a lot and I respect him for that. That's about it for me really.
Best thing released on my birthday. My patience has been rewarded! BWOAHsome job, Kym! Always looking forward to your videos😊👍
This is far from "everything you need to know" but still interesting. :) I really recommend his book!

Thanks for subscribing. Look forward to providing you with more great content
Stay passionate! i will, and THANK YOU KYM for being as passionate as you are!!
Some of your pictures are mind blowing. Great great shot
not sure why but can't get enough of kimi stories
It’s is officially a sad day, Kimi is retiring :(
Legend
Now that he's retiring, You definitely need to do another one
Just TOP NOTCH videos Kym!👍👍
6:40 I love that photo! Awesome
Legend is an understatement 😅.
The color correcting and grading on your photos is great! I am also a big fan of the composition of the car photos.
My favorite current F1 driver.
I remember Massa used to collect drivers helmets. When he asked Kimi for his, Kimi even had a helmet made for his son.
Yes Kimi, learned something about Mark Arnall. Thank you and congratulations.
Lovely work again Kym👍🏻
Jesus this channel is fantastic. Thanks for the super in-depth info and photos.
Thanks Bryan with a "y"
He know what he's doing!....so give him drink,gloves and steeeeriing wheeeeel!!!!!😂😂
Gloves and steering wheel!!!!
6:40 Gold!
The GOAT
Thanks Kym. Any updates to his profile will be good to see later on as they come. Cheers
love kimi say it like it is
Thank you
Very good

Kimi is definitely one of my favorite drivers because of how he carries himself. What you see is what you get
One of the best drivers of the era
Nice to know he never shat in his suit 😃😂
Does it mean the other drivers (who attended that ceremony) did?
Kimi is my fav
That final shot with car is epic
It will be very sad to see Kimi leave the field...
3:55 some things are more important than a ceremony ahaha
We need to find a way to make kimi 20 years younger
Will he be back in 2021?
I hope so
@@KymIllman Hey, I am from future. He will be driving in 2021
@@RaceFeed it looks like he might even be on the grid next year too🙂
@@LogieT2K unfortunately no.

Спасибо чувак!
I’ve been waiting for this one
Brilliant driver and verk well described
Thanks brother
I guess most fans are waiting for KIMI's profile
Love it. December 7th 2019 and up to 18.4k subs. Over a hundred new subs everyday. U deserve all that are coming too.

Hey Kim! You got caught on camera in will Buxtons pre race paddock pass near the end!
Great content as always! Thank you sir!
Love your videos so much! Keep up the good work!♥️♥️♥️♥️😍♥️
writing history? @ 4:44 what about Ayrton?.. he went to his apartment
if I remember correctly
maybe a suggestion for some off season content, maybe go thru alk the driver's helmets from this year, and all their variations and such
Well done. He had a pretty good relationship with Sergio Marchionne I believe yes/no
Maybe you could have said just a little bit more about his friendship with vettel, but apart from that the video is 👏👏
6:48 beautiful picture!
Thanks
I think it more likely that I will retire from my career before Kimi retires from F1. He'll be there long after we're all gone, haha. What a legend.
Kimi Raikkonen has got the coolest name I've ever heard
His name is the reason I got into F1.
@@PiyushSingh-co3ql it's the coolest name out Raikkonen
Black Friday with Kimi what's not to love ?
Kimi is a God
Well my experience with Kimi was more than positive. Really nice with the normal fans, maybe not with the VIP autograph hunters.🤷🏼♀️
Hey Kym, love your videos. Can you do a dedicated one to 'the Scottish blonde lady with Ferrari' , I saw her briefly in another of your videos. Thanks .
Great video. Like your format 🤗
Just fell into it.
Last driver with real balls
Insightful
badass!
I can't believe that we aren't gonna see him again in a F1 car... Long live Kimi
When F1 resumes, can you do some vlog about some behind the scenes or some stuff about in and out f1!
Certainly
dramatic entrance
Well, two steps towards the camera.
Great work
Kimi lose the muzzle
Street cred is dropping like your London club hopping escapades
All the best to the Raikkonen family 2021
💯💙✌🏻
I really hope kimi raikonen never retires
All good things must come to an end
@@KymIllman but when kimi retires it'll be an end to an era
It would be great if he found his way back to F1 in some role.
2019 and one thing is for certain
Foreign people still dont know how to spell/write RÄIKKÖNEN (or RAIKKONEN) correctly
Antti Ahola Tricky with the keyboard
Räikkönen
I can without the extras
I have the same birthday as Kimi 😮
I'm here for drink and steering wheel
GLOVES!
While you all were posting I was takin a ----🤢🤣

The world will be be sad when kimi retires from F1.
On your pro star pics website I noticed that sometimes you have photo's of incidents from different angles, do you have an assistant or second photographer with you at races? i.e German GP where Nico crashed out and walks away, front on view and side on view.
Sometimes I take a second shooter.
@@KymIllman Thanks mate
Guenther and Kimi can know each other’s English
BWOAWESOME
My all time hero. He was at his best, or most relaxed when partnered with Seb, how wonderful would it be if they were team mates again?
Whilst he was happy with Seb.I found those times annoying because Seb kept taking him out and stealing his thunder on a few races when Kimi was actually faster. When kimi was in that Mclaren Mp-4-20.He showed the world what a master of speed he really was!
Guys...Kimi got the drincc
Kimi is Kimi.. That's it
Can we get Everything We Need To Know of Team Principals like Totonator, Mr Ginger Spice etc?
at 1:47 correction needed: DA DRINCC
He went to test for Sauber without any formula experience or super licence
You got some really good shots from Germany this year, right
Hit 👍 even before I watched it 😄
