- Here it is a Finnish interview with English subtitles with young Kimi Räikkönen and Peter Geitel after Kimi's first F1 test with Sauber at Mugello, Italy in 2000.
Thanks for the help Bosseking! :) - Sport
Does anyone take to account that this was back in 2001 when he had just started? He didn't know how to deal with media. Imagine how he must've felt back then, being only 21 and already being called the next Häkkinen. He's gotten better with interviews since then and let's his personality come through more. He's a legend.
I believe he was 20, not 21. This was in September. It is a remarkable bit of film. He is not ordinary.
Title literally says 2000
Kimi looks so cute at this video.
This dude doesn't know the meaning of nervous he's just a relaxed fella.
On this day 20 years ago, with the same team at the same circuit as this weekends Tuscan Grand Prix, Kimi Räikkönen made his debut in Formula 1!
And now Kimi is going to Sauber...
"Yes its a normal car, you just drive a little faster" hahahah Gotta Love Kimi!
I literally can't handle how adorable he is. HE'S LIKE A KITTEN omg
I love how 9yrs. of Formula1 still hasn't changed Kimi and what he believes in.
At the time of this video he knew Sauber were his ticket into F1 but yet he stated that Ferrari and McLaren are the only 2 teams that can give him a winning car.
And he sticks to that statement even today.
I like how he said if you don't win in Formula1 you are no one.
Gotta love the man's principles.
I hope to see him race in 2010 but if I don't I'll know why.
Thanks for uploading/translating this video.
What a gem of a video, loved it! Also loved his utter domination in australia last week, would love for another championship this year :D
And now hes on Lotus F1 team.. Last two winners of that team: Räikkönen and Ayrton Senna.
This man sure knows how to choose legendary teams.
Man, this comment is a time capsule.
Sad he’s leaving at the end of this year
he was so adorable in this. ^__^ like a talking statue...his mouth only moved and he barely even blinks. my eyes got dry trying to blink in the same speed as him lol.
kind of weird that he's one of the fastest drivers ever, but everything else about him is at his own pace. ^^a thanks for the translation!
It's weird. I've watched him in a lot of interviews and it's like nothing is a big deal to him. I don't know if he's modest or that driving comes so easily to him that he sees what he does as no big deal. He almost seems amused or bewildered that people think what he does is special. He just seems so convinced and secure in his abilities that it would be incredulous for him to think he has anything to prove. I really don't know I'm just trying to understand him.
he's just totally embarrassed. Still he isn't used to the spotlight. Bless him.
To all: welcome! I'm glad you like it!
Kimi was indeed so cute and embarrassed. Bless him! :)
SWEET! Thanks for posting that!
Finally this interview with subtitles.. Thanks!

Mika : "sign him already! "
Funny thing is he actually was bringed to childrens pshycologist when he was child by hes parent's, because he was maybe a bit odd socially.. You know, nothing bad, but litle weid bird if you will. The psychologist told that Kimi's IQ is so much higher than normal child's are, that he founds it hard to communicate with other children, and that slowered hes social skills development. Childrens test was too easy for him, he was put in adults test and did in minutes what some adults do in hours.
how do you know this?
I swear he has asperger's tbh.
@@CaptainAMAZINGGG He has dyslexia, damaged vocal chords and a serious case of introversion. Enough said.
#KiitosKimi
He is THE BEST! I just love it that he is so calm and assured, NOTHING fazes him.
Also you Finns have a great language. Wish I could speak it!
I have seen this video before but now I understand what they are talking about xD Thanks, Kinga ;)love you :*
I would wanna grab a beer with Kimi.
LEGEND
@armydray13 I think both. He's modest and driving comes so easily to him that he sees what he does as no big deal. I remember him answering a question "from where does your talent come?" the following way "Dunno, it just comes, automatically, I don't think about it when driving that much, it comes from somewhere." He's mysterious but in a way so simple. :)
@JewelThieves
you are so right! Thanks fro the comment! :)
We have never seen Kimi speak that much in any other interview after that one. 😂
Oh, yeah! It's awesome, isn't it? Not many F1 drivers could tell that he was driving for both! :) Plus you can dream about driving for McLaren or for Ferrari, but it's become reality in Kimi's case.
Unelmat käyvät joillain toteen. :)
Damn, he's so cute!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was Finnish hihihi
If his fans didn't follow him with such religious fervour, you would think that he's kind of slow in the head the way he speaks.
Kimi is Kimi.
The way he talks still the same lol
he looks really nervous... :) Team Kimi!
Yep. Kind of funny how his main rival at some point Alonso also went through McLaren, Renault (which is now Kimi's Lotus team) and and Ferrari
one word. Iceman
He is a Fin
cute ;D
I heard Kimi being more intelligent from this finnish site, im not sure if its going to help you much, but anyway..
Google this following and first link (utube didint allow straight linking)
Räikkösen puhekyvyn taustalla erikoinen tarina - "poikanne on keskivertoa älykkäämpi"
whatever he did the night before, it mustve cost a lot of energy.
every night.
damn there are real life vampires living in Finland
What do you mean, please explain?
LOL lehet, de ezért (is) szeretjük. Amúgy talán mégis, ennyire talán már nem motyog... :) Egyik mondatát két finn is alig bírta "kihámozni".
very emotionless...like a robot
He's literally laughing. He expresses subtly, but it's there. He's not robotic. He's Zen :p
i like him, but way he speaks is just.. crappy : (
he's got no personality in finnish either. at least hakkinen had a personality when speaking in finnish.
Lol yeah ppl saying Finns have no personality always perplexed me. I have seen very many being very much themselves, unique, extra, expressive, silly etc
Tbh most things I see Kimi in, he's smiling and laughing and even joking sometimes.
But then SOMETIMES.. There is this version. :')
Depends on many things.
