Does he tend to overdrive when the setup is not there for him? Yes. Is he absolutely elite and close to peerless when the setup is there? Yes as well. So in my mind, it is worth it to put in the extra work to perfect Kimi's setup.
@@Deniz1923 The Merc engine was anything but superior. It was inferior at this time, and Kimi was hitting the rev limiter all the time on the straights. It was just a brilliant pass by a world class driver.
@@CicaeMeow In the race? Kimi had no straightline speed compared to the Renaults. In 2006 they made a mess of the engine too. Both Renault and BMW had superior top line speed I believe from the engine.
I was at Suzuka for the first time couple of weeks ago and i’ll say this: Sitting in the turn one grand stand you realize the stones it took for Kimi to pull off this move. That track is WAY narrower than you think.
I think if Fisichella didn't close the door on the last chicane, he'd get a better exit and hold off Raikkonen in the first turn, and probably would win if he kept at it for the last lap.
This is the most clear onboard angle from this time period I’ve ever seen

what were all the years kimi had his setup correct?
Ok children. This is a real overtake without press any botton.
With a superior engine.

One every 300 gp in those years
@@ciaronsmith4995 the Merc engine was very powerful this year, so your statement is bs.

"Yeeaaah! What a brilliant move!"
Imagine watching this with all graphics and HD quality we have today and camera angles would be awesome
0:22 this is where Fisichella lost the place, tight angle into the chicane resulting in lower exit speed
That's a legend passing some dude. Kimmi the last Ferrari champion.
Kimi (Hime) Raikkonen

Que mal para su equipo fisichella
0:22 What Fisichella was doing?
What do you mean? He was defending the inside line
McLaren-Mercedes passes Renault-number 1 F1 car in 2005. Sometimes left track has better grip for tires allowing accelerate.
The most clean takeover
