"The last champion with Ferrari, that's a big achievement"
Alonso 2021
Oh man
mad lad
Pain. (For Nando)
well, at least Ferrari still have the most engine manufacture wins :p
That's pathetic on Ferrari's behalf... and I'm a Tifoso! Best of luck to Kimi on future endeavors .
Seeing Valtteri emotional just proves how much of a legend Kimi is
Suomi love🤩
Seriously tho , Bottas should take lessons from kimi on how to beat Hamilton
Edit : I like how people are undermining Raikkonen's consistency in 2007 and just giving excuses for Hamilton. Making excuses like he was a rookie , doesn't take away from the fact that he hasn't finished in the top 3 for 5 consecutive years when he had the 2nd/3rd best car from 2009 to 2013... For contrast , Verstappen has a better record even if you include his TORO ROSSO year , Shows you how consistent he really is when in the 2nd best car...

@@chrislfc2317 debut in the best car tho... You know when Russell stepped in the Mercedes at Sakhir in only his second season , he outqualified Verstappen who was in his 6th year...
@@abhiverma9316 Lewis was beaten by Kimi, Alonso, and a dysfunctional Mclaren team. Not to detract from Kimi's achievement one bit, but a championship fight is never just a simple two-way fight (unless it's 2020).
The comment from Fernando about Kimi being the last Ferrari champion must have hurt. It seems mental that you had 5 years of alonso and 6 of vettel after Kimi won his title and neither of them managed it. The comments from Lewis and Fernando show the amount of respect Kimi has in the paddock.
if Ferrari never won a championship with Vettel or Alonso, or for that matter, if they don´t win one with Leclerc, the fault is not in the drivers, but in the Scuderia.
I would love to see Hamilton to overcome the Ferrari championship drought. It is more than just the driver and Mercedes obviously has it which explains their dominance. Just hopefully they don't massacre him too.

@@robinharris3134 Not really. Leclerc and Russell spent time in F3 and F2. Lewis and Nico were in the first seasons of GP2. Max Verstappen was in F3.
Kimi Raikkonen literally went from karting at 18 years old to Sauber in a year and a half. He won 13/23 races in Formula Renault and that's what got him the test which led to the race seat. A year after that Ron Dennis picked him up for McLaren for an astronomical amount of money, and thats how Sauber has such a great wind tunnel
Indeed. He's the real GOAT, even if he only one championship.
“The last champion with Ferrari and that’s quite a big achievement”- A mad Spanish boi
I know he’s not mad he respects it but it’s a yoke!
I feel sorry for Alonso, but I just wish it stands for a little longer. I love Kimi and I just want to see his name around in F1 for a little while longer

It's interesting there are never spammers in comments glorifying LH.
Only where there's something positive about Kimi or any other past champ, somehow spammers appear out of nowhere.

Was a little surprised to see so little of Seb. We all know they were pretty close at Ferrari. Kimi will surely be missed. Was lucky enough to see his last win live at COTA 18’.
He was too emotional
I think him and Kimi have more of a personal relationship and Seb is usually pretty quiet about his private life and respects that Kimi also does not engage that much with the media.
All the video I was wondering: ‘where’s Seb?’ And then he was there briefly at the end, but he has much more to tell...
Alex Wilson of Iron Claw?
@@Lars16 i also heard that kimi and seb had a house close to each other at Switzerland or Belgium or something (can't remember the detail sorry)
"He never did anything crazy that put any of us at danger" One of the few that kept respectful even in the riskiest moments, despite his temperament.
Like Lewis trying to pass Max in one of the fastest corners in F1? We are lucky both drivers are still with us.

One of my favourite moments of Kimi is Brazil 2012 when he locked up and purposely went drove off track to avoid running Vettel who was fighting for the championship. That always stood out to me. He was always a fair but hard racer. Enjoy retirement you Legend
Man m gonna miss his cold yet funny interviews.
Look how many times He spouted off on the radio... that isn't exactly "cold". If He was stone cold on and off the track, that would be stone cold. Just My two cents .
It's interesting there are never spammers in comments glorifying LH.
Only where there's something positive about Kimi or any other past champ, somehow spammers appear out of nowhere.

He could return again. He's retired once before, as did Alonso and Schumacher.
We can live in hope.
@@J1Z06 He is passionate about racing. Rest all the things : Bwoah.
I never knew that Vatteri had so much respect for Kimi.
Well it does make sense. You tend to root for the people from your own country, so Valtteri most likely did just that. Just imagine what it's like to then get to the same level and race along with the person you have looked up to for so long.
By the way, at Valtteri's first win in Russia 2017, Kimi was on the podium with him, and he congratulated him in the post race interview, and you can see on Valtteri's face how much it meant to him.
He's Finnish... he was probably a huge Kimi fan in his youth, I feel he is playing it down.
Or maybe he never liked Kimi and is trying to be nice! Who knows...
@@namenamename390 Sainz is still a mega Alonso fan
He looks up to Kimi the same as how Carlos looks up to Fernando.
@@PiousMoltar Valtteri was even bigger Mika Häkkinen fan.
2:02 Tough, but fair. When we see wheel to wheel racing with Kimi versus someone, it's always fair and respectful. The outcome is more often than not both come out unscathed.
exactly, fair, respectful but really tough
Yeah, you don't see Kimi knocking opponents out of the track or whining about asking your teammate to let him be overtaken by you.
he crashed w. valtari many times
In his last win in usa, battles against hailton looked so calm, but "professional"
Alonso saying "We had great battles" sounded exactly like "We had great bottles", neither of those would surprise me :D

I thought he would at LEAST be at Alfa for 1 more year. Absolutely caught me off guard. We Will miss you Kimi
He mind didn't interest about new cars next years and mind want focus on family
He always reminded me of "The Stig" from Top Gear :)
Kimi during his McLaren days is the fastest driver i've ever seen in F1 during the 20 years i've followed the sport.
just raw speed that was kimi
Raw speed and an unbelievable consistency like a Swiss clock.
Just needed a tad bit more durability :)
100 percent he was incredible
The 2003 and 2005 seasons were missed opportunities for Kimi and mclaren. Their car was so fast but also very unreliable.
Both Rossi and Kimi retiring makes me sad, I started watching F1 and MotoGP when I was 4-5 years old and they immediately became my favorites (Kimi because of his name and Rossi because of his helmet), but it eases the pain a bit, that I witnessed both of their succesful times and I will always remember that. Though I will always regret that I missed Kimi's last win.
His dry humor will be greatly missed
nice pfp
Which other driver released a book of haiku? Just Kimi.
1:15 Always nice to see his race engineer giving a few kind words
His pole at Monza is one of the greatest moments in sporting history.
I'm still gutted he never won in Monza with Ferrari!
"But you answer still"
- Kimi Raikonnen (2021)
Bwoah Lewis saying he played as kimi on video games before he got into f1 is everything!
Hamilton's career was financed by Ron Dennis so he better be racing a Mclaren. So it was either Kimi or Juan Pablo.
@@DM0407 I don't think Ron would've dropped either, and if he did, they wouldn't have gotten along.
Kimi is a absolute legend and all the drivers comments were amazing but George’s one got me cracking
F1: "Drivers Reaction on Kimi's Retirement."
Kimi: "FOR WHAT?!"
F1: "Your Retirement Kimi, so you can have the Drink."
Kimi: "Ok."
Just leave him alone, he knows what to do.
"You can go as soon as you're finished"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT BEFORE?"
For Whattttt!!!!!!!!!!
Because they still didn't give me my wheel and my gloves!! That's why!!
I can’t name another driver who has been so universally loved by everyone. Kimi is going to leave such a void.
Personality matters more than your exterior or skin color.
Some drivers should know that before blaming racism to run away from the truth that you're hated for being a woke twitter millennial
Yes, big miss
Both Kimi and Seb will be missed. Cannot imagine F1 right now without Kimi
Alonso saying that kimi is the last Ferrari champion:😢

That would be amazing! but we all know Kimi, he enjoys life to enjoy life, not to share it to the world like most people these days. A true role model, honestly. Seb as well.

Yes, Alonso is truly the last of the old guard at the start of the 2022 season. Quite sad actually, I really hoped Kimi would have wanted to experience the new cars. It's crazy to think we see for example Lewis and Seb as veterans, but they were around 14 and 16 years old when Kimi debuted in F1!

@Bilal Lodhi my friends might know lewis
Not younger ppl, but the people that have been around at the time he was in mclaren know him without watching f1. He was very popular in at the time.
Kimi has an influence on all the drivers and is like an elder brother for the young drivers and a fair competitor for the older ones.
@GT012345tube who cares about Ocon?
Imagine your first memories of F1 have Kimi already racing in it and one day you become an F1 driver and find yourself racing wheel to wheel with the people that have been part of your F1 memories since the beginning. I can only imagine how these young racers must feel when they first step into the same racetrack with their childhood figures
Only thing we can wish to Kimi now is to enjoy with his family and to have fun. And I am sure he will have loads of fun ❤️ See you Kimi
Kimi must have spoken more to Seb than to the rest of the grid combined. Seb must probably miss him the most.

We as fans have been incredibly lucky to enjoy Kimi for 19 seasons in F1 we should celebrate that and wish him a happy retirement with his family.

I hadn't got emotional about his retirement until this video, watching the other drivers talk about him has brought a few tears to my eyes. Kimi will surely be missed by many, thank you Kimi. 💖
I started watching F1 from 2005 when his car broke in the last lap, that moment is still in my mind.
I used to shut my tv when his car breaks down. It's sad to see him retire 😭
All the best kimi 🎊🎊
The amount of respect that the other veterens showed him says alot about Kimi. Man is truly a legend of the sport and one of the finest to ever grace Formula 1. We are gonna miss the ICEMAN.
I know it's sad to see him go. I know it's his time to leave. But none of it replaces the memories I have in the early 2000s watching him smash everyone around him. This is when I joined F1 and still think of him as an absolute legend.
Special kind of LEGEND, in most positive way. Miss him already.
Yes. Fernando perfectly told. Any driver can trust kimi on track. Few years back he had fastest lap record in many circuits!
I love that Seb exactly as he did when Kimi left Ferrari and they asked him what he would miss.
