Nice to have you back! Btw, this was the first ever race after i was born.... (Yes you are getting old, face it!) As for my opinion of this race: Massa and Kimi both made silly errors in this race but at least Kimi was able to show why he was a champion and Massa wasn't.
the car looks low and menacing, which got ruined by the 2009 rear wing. probably helped by the fact that the trackside camera back then doesn't do the obnoxious zoomed in tracking of the car that makes them look static. jeddah trackside camera at sector 2 and 3 makes modern car look fast
These years (04-08) and most of the 90’s had some of the most spectacular looking cars.Slap one of those rear ends from the mid-70’s with tires as fat as the Moon and traditional,one pillar wing structure and maybe a thinner nosecone and you’d have the most beautiful looking race car of all time.

Back in the day, even the race didn’t end well, I thought that one point here would’ve made him the world champion at the end of the season but Ferrari said no later…
Kimi is the modern day Gilles,as in everybody knows that he could have achieved much more had he not been in a car that blew up 10 seconds after starting for 5 seasons straight.
Yeah Kimi Raikkonen is one of the best drivers in 2000's onward the only drivers where better than him is Michael Shumacher and Sebastian Vettel in my opinion but he is better than Hamilton, Alonso and Max Verstappen.
Fernando Alonso is easily the worst current f1 champion if we exclude Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button of course. He is easily the most overrated f1 world champion even compare to Vettel and Verstappen.
Kimi's early 2008 form was spectacular. He could have won the championship had things not gone sour.
Old video I had sitting around.
Enjoy.

I could watch clips of Prime Kimi everyday.
Such a shame McLaren couldn't deliver reliable car.
It's an uncommon take, but these cars were the most visually pleasing cars as far as I'm concerned. If only Ferrari focused development on Kimi...

If Kimi was lucky with McLaren, he would have, I'm sure, 2 more titles. Frequent Mercedes engine failures cost him the title.

Community Posts also were re-started up a few days ago too. Cheers.
Bro is back to uploading videos🎉
About time! What the hell's he been doing? Laziness
Kimi could have been a 3x time world champion, really unlucky how things went at his Mclaren stint.
Kimi thought he was still driving the MP4-20 at Suzuka.
The maestro is back!
Very responsive steering rack on that car

They will never realise what a special driver he was
I think they already do. But ok.

Ciaron do you think that Raikkonen would have continued in Ferrari for 2010 if Alonso would have stayed in McLaren for 2008?
Yeah Kimi Raikkonen is one of the best drivers in 2000's onward the only drivers where better than him is Michael Shumacher and Sebastian Vettel in my opinion but he is better than Hamilton, Alonso and Max Verstappen.
Vettel better than prime Kimi?
Yeah. Don't agree.
But I respect your opinion.
@@ciaronsmith4995 I do respect your opinion too.
You must be German.
vettel better than Alonso Raikkonen and Hamilton no chance he is easily the worst out of the 3 🤣

In their Prime (speed wise):
1. Kimi
2. Lewis
3. Seb
4. Fernando
Best of Kimi 2008.
It's a pity that the season went so......"low-spirited".
Unluckiest man Mark Webber? I don't think so.
Shame he got robbed.Should’ve been up there with Hamilton

Alono isn't bad.
Been a while Ciaron!
