"First race with Ferrari was ok"
Pole position, race win and the fastest lap
gotta love him
As he said it was okay. :]
and he won it by some 30s gap :D
Classic Kimi😁
He was referring to the setup of the tyres and the car. It was nowhere near what Kimi wanted.
That's the point. Kimi was 100% right. They never got the setup right for him from 2007-2009.
Raikkonen's happiest moments in F1: The end of an interview
F**king finally!
Or when he gets ice cream
Or sleeping before race
Or chilling on the yacht when the car breaks down
f**k this is so true 🤣🤣
F1’s most universally liked driver.
Simon Aldred That’s not as well obvious from TV transmissions but I’ve been at races between 2014-2018 in Hungary, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Austria and from what I saw at the tracks but also on the streets, no other driver even comes close to being loved and having fans like Kimi does, I knew it was and was still very surprised of what I saw.
I think the only current driver that can hold up to him is Ricciardo, but from the retired ones there are still Hakkinen (coolest guy imao), Senna, etc.
@@Tobi-pw3tc unfortunately I don't think both Senna and hakkinen are universally liked, there are a lot of haters out there
@@d3xmeister It's the humility of his character that is pretty rare.
@@d3xmeister Kimi has not broken into the top3 in jersey sales by season ever. But I agree that his fans are the craziest when it comes to banners, flags etc.
How would you describe your favourite race?
Kimi: It was ok.
The car was okay.
"I was happy when I won the championship, great memories"
*proceeds to blankly tell the story and stare to the camera*
Gotta love this guy.
Bwoah
Not even OK....pretty ok :D
It was okay I won
Kimi doesn't just drop the mic, he *breaks* it. lol
Kris A no he would subconsiously try chug it down thinking it was Vodka then drop it as he realized it wasnt
Kris A- He would say just one word. lol
Given the choice he would take it along and use it for singing in a Karaoke bar.
Thomas John Solidum you went
too far lol
Kris A golden
"Yeah, they sold some shi-
ah, shirts..."
Classic Kimi
You think he meant shares?
cookiielaad he meant shit
@@Plardo r/wooooosh
A good chuckle from Kimi
5:18
f1 channel: How much does everyone like Kimi?
me: yes
this ;D
yes (me too) :'D
@Alan Ali 10 'how many likes can i get..'
Kimi: Pretty OK, it's no problem
@Indivar Dhillon yeah sure, if you say so then we must all like Skimi.
Amazing how Kimi only won 1 race but lost the championship by only 2 points in 2003!
If you see stat from the old f1 the difference between no 1 and no 2 is not much gap compare today system
If only Mclaren's reliability didn't strike in Nürburgring...
Remember also that it was in a souped-up version of the 2002 car, as McLaren's actual designed-for-2003 machine was so fragile and unreliable it never raced. Making Raikkonen's accomplishments that year even more extraordinary!
Kimi 2003 > Alonso 2012. He was insanely quick, the quickest since Senna in the tyre war from 2002-2006. He outperformed the car MASSIVELY.
It's crazy to think that without McLaren's reliability issues Kimi could've even been a 3 time champion or if one more little thing went wrong for him in 2007 he could've never won a WDC
The one dislike is from Kimi himself...bwoah he didn't want to do the interview
there is more , who could be the others??? O.o
🤣🤣🤣
@@skybear3530 It''s a stunts who subtitute "real" kimi in another interview.
Nah it's probably because they put music over the glorious V10s!!
@@skybear3530 He told his friends to come dislike an interview
Don't forget that Kimi got 101 podiums in his career. So 1 out of 3 race start he will finish top 3
@nhan cao 103
103 until now
he also has participated in about 30% of all races. the stats are unbelievable to think.
Hes a consistent driver👌
@@bigsmoke7054 don't count last 2 years at formula 1 for alpha romeo they where bad
Since he has joined Alfa Romeo, Kimi really has looked a lot more comfortable. Must be nice to finally escape the pressure of Ferrari.
It's a shame that Alfa's have been struggling quite badly after the first few races.
@Phillip Leite Yeah that's actually I meant. You could see it last year when the announcement of him moving happened. He talked a lot more freely in the press conferences.
@adamkur It's simple, At Ferrari; No 2 driver under Vettel, at Alfa; No 1 driver under nobody. For a guy of his skill and experience, his status, he should never have been made No 2.....
When you get to an age where you got nothing to prove,you definitely want a change of scenery
Especially since Ferrari has done nothing but choke hard this year 😥
Interviewer: Right then Kimi, what's your top ten favorite races of your career?
Kimi: Five is ok.
Bwoah
I love how frantically he rips the mic off at the end.
His helicopter arrived
**interview ends**
F*cking finally
He’s liked for much of the same reasons as Niki, no bullshit, straightforward.
THose types of sportsmen who say what they think are allways the best ones imo
And Lewis is hated for making bullshit and isnt straight foward
Well they are Finnish and Austrian so their cultures are no bullshit but straight forward to the point
@@Kimkim-mq8kh yeah because we smart and sometimes even smartander
@@Bobba8590 under appreciated pun!
Kimi is a really humble and amazing guy in real life.I am currently making a video on him. God bless him
Dyslexic Mitochondria God doesnt exist
Jacob Corbett i agree, i do like him a lot. He is a lot things, but humble is not one of it
@@xruud24 World created by humans, and humans just exist automatically
Change my mind
@@jacobcorbett3857 he is very humble actually
@Jacob Corbett
What makes you say that? If you judge Kimi only by his public appearances, you know nothing.
Man this is so awesome, my father and I love Kimi and always have, we drove 17 hours from Atlanta Georgia to Austin Texas for our first F1 event and we got to see Kimi win, we were sitting front row at turn 11, one of the best experiences of my life!
Lucky you. Cherish it man.
You're so lucky!
Damn that's awesome!
So happy for you mate, that's always a memory to cherish
Nice!
You just can't hate Kimi. It's impossible.
Bob Marlej stupid fanboy like you make this possible.
Somehow the guy who doesn't even do anything funny, made him funny
@@SuperDavidGnomo been watching F1 since 92 also been at F1 races since 96 and i'm comfortable to say you are the prime example of why F1 got so many toxic fans nowdays
@@creepydutchman Tell me about it. All I see now a days is people insulting drivers skills and thinking that they're experts on the sport. What can you say, I guess the internet has played a big part in that.
I hate him
Because he was too good.
Seven minutes?!?! Make it a full length feature film, please
You really think they can make kimi speak for a full movie length?
:facepalm:
@@PineappleForScale For sure.
They should do a movie about his whole racing career, i feel like he just ended up in F1 somehow 😂
@@Joe_Jenkins404 That's a joke right? He was the most dominant driver in the history of Formula Renault, +70% win rate and went 2 seconds faster than Pedro Diniz at the Mugello test in 2000, prompting MSC to ask Peter Sauber who the hell he was? He ended up as the most inexperienced F1 rookie ever.
Wins a race "we are far from where we want to be"
Well, Ferrari seem to hate the podium now
He was referring to the setup of the car. It was nowhere from 2007-2009, his instincts were 100% right. One look at the onboards of 2007 will tell you Kimi was not driving the car how he wanted.
It just shows that he does have strong demands and style of setup that truly does matches how he wants his car to be
TheIceKiller, *_CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM_*
Hei, kehitys loppuu tyytyväisyyteen!
I'm actually pretty happy seeing him not in Ferrari anymore. The man only wants to race but the politics in that team is just INSANE. Sure, it's kind of impossible to win (or even getting podium place) any race with Alfa Romeo car, but as I said, he only wants to race and that's exactly what I want from him. To see him enjoy the race and not be bothered by some politics bullshit.
Wow, I love this man so much.
Same.
Regarding all of that.
Alfa P4 and P5 in Brazil 2019 and pretty fast in winter testing 2020 (take this with a grain of salt) but there is still hope!
Shravan R ah yeah... didn’t age well huh
People mostly remembered 2003 as Schumi vs. Montoya year, but taking a look at the final standing, Kimi was the one who almost ended Schumi-Ferrari domination that season.
yeah, with an unreliable last years car
really glad he WON last year at USA - probably his last win :( , but still a legend !
Also Ferrari last win
@@kubzon7 nah they'll get their shit together at some point, certainly not this season tho
He had the last win and the last wc win for Ferrari
Kayla Jorden still has
@@ghost.w2907 still has
4:52 Engineer on the radio: “I’ll update you ...”
Leave me alone, I know what I do”
That’s the Kimi we love. Period.
the force india or whatever the f*** is called :D
Adrián González get ready for Alfa Tauri
make radio messages chronological order for this weekend
wow, on a Kimi video...
Stop complaining fr it's not that much of a big deal
I agree its so annoying
@@tylerwow but it is. If it's out of order it don't make sense one thing I'm listening to race radio the next quali radio and it's fucking jarring between the two. Much better to do in order I don't know why they stop doing in order
More annoying thing is people spamming in every unrelated F1 video about this shit.
“First race was pretty okay” - Pole, fastest lap and race win, yeah okay I guess
It was AIGHT
Still ferraris last race winner and last drivers champion. Damn
Well, that’s changed now, yeah?
@@itsvizor171 still last champion tho
True.
@@itsvizor171 now is vettel and kimi stills last champ
Legend
My own favorite Kimi races:
1. Suzuka 2005
2. Brazil 2003
3. USA 2018
4. Belgium 2009
5. Abu Dhabi 2012
2 and 3 place 15 years apart xD
Yup Brazil 2003 should be his actually. His Spa win in 2003 & 2005 was amazing with fastest lap one after another. Monza quali pole with full tank! Wow.. amazing races from Kimi. Missing it!
I'm absolutely agree with you
Brazil 2007?
Not including his title winning race lol..
It's such a shame that the Mercedes engine wasn't reliable during the McLaren days. Kimi would be a three time world champion otherwise...
It was ok 😐 -Kimi Raikkonen 2019
Yes 😐 - Mika Hakkinen 1998
Solid
They are from Finland 🇫🇮, so I guess that’s how they behave
The dryest sense of humour, the Finns are just different.
How we would all love Kimi to even get a podium finish this season. You got to like Kimi
Surprised Suzuka 2005 wasn't picked. He was untouchable in 2003 and 2005.. just unlucky not to win WDC in these 2 seasons.
Did he pick these or did F1 pick these?
@@ciaronsmith4995 I'm guessing F1 didn't pick these. Their number two inclusion in the Top Ten Kimi Raikkonen Moments video was the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix.
On the other hand I kinda doubt Kimi picked these himself, because, you know, this is Kimi we're talking about 🙂
@@anononomous "kimi tell us your best races ever" kimi: "boawh they are all races, it was ok"
The fastest driver in the world from 2002-2006. Undoubtedly. During that period, on the Michelin tyre, at McLaren, he was the quickest driver I have seen since Senna.
AN ALL TIME GREAT AND UTTER LEGEND. 2007-2007 he still managed to win a title despite HATING the Bridgestone tyres and the cars.
*We love The ICEMAN*
The hero of my childhood. How can you not love the coolest man on earth? HAPPY 300TH RACE MY GOAT🏆
its sad that his 300th gp is monaco, the only track were nothing happens, it would've been awesome if it was italy or spa
Kimi is a legend who will continue to live on in the sports history
I have simple taste, I see kimi, I like
Interviewer: So Kimi you won the x grand prix, tell us about it?
Kimi: I won.
i drove car and won
The people's champion!
Also let me just say those Mclaren's from 2002-2006 of his career looked so freaking good...shame that they were not championship winning cars...
21 wins. 100+ podiums. A WDC.
It still looks good!
*Mclaren-Mercedes not just Mclaren, and Mercedes money and influence was very strong at the time...
It was a championship winning car if you exclude the reliability.
@Yandri Tjiu Well you NEEd reliabilty in order to win the championship...thus none of them were championship winning cars, that was exactly my point...
@@TheOfficialZhya That's a silly comment. Championship winning cars HAVE reliability.
5:20 "they sold some shirts so who cares" this is why I love kimi
Kimi: **Does anything**
**Everyone liked that**
Just pick a race from 2005, doesnt matter which one, they are all mindblowing !
Totally agree. When not engine blowing.
2003 also.. With third fastest car, he truly ruled that season.
I want kimi to win another world👍 championship ☺️👌 sure he can but the car can't 😢
Merwyn Moffatt last year he had the car but didn’t even beat vettel.
@@HerreDePerre because ferrari favoured Vettel
@@HerreDePerre you think only bottas has been through those situations?
jontikka miäs if Kimi was faster they wouldn’t have favourited vettel. I love Kimi and he was the fastest 10 years ago but not anymore.
Daniel Carney yeah
Not only the last World Champion for Ferrari in 2007, also the only one next to Schumacher since 1979.
One of the best drivers F1 has ever seen.
My favorite Bwoahrld Champion.
Wait. When China 2019 was 1000th Race, Räikkönen has nearly driven 1/3 of all Races, because he has 300 GPs
30%
Not 1/3
It would be 1/3 if it was the 900th Race
@@Todesmorgeni know but I said *nearly*
@@ayoutubeuser7613 100th Races is not nearly
@@Todesmorgen OK then it's 33,333333333... %
@@Todesmorgen 30% - 33% is close - nearly covers that just nicely.
This guy deserves more than 1 World Title!
Just get him a V10 car but reliable and leave him alone he knows what to do.
One of my favs was the monza race 2018, seeing Kimi fend off hamilton with destroyed tyres was amazing to watch.
Kimi Raikkonen. What a character. Love this guy He's unwittingly funny, genuine and humble. Hope he continues to race in F1 for a few more years.
This man is my inspiration. This is how a real man should be. A freaking boss. A freaking Iceman ❤ You will always be my most fav racing driver of all times. We love you 300 ❤
Respect to the people who edit this. Consistent, quality content
You should ask him to pick his five favourite ice creams
Bwoah he doesn't have one
Cold
Bwoah All of them
The Iceman love:
Magnum, Magnum, Magnum, Magnum and Magnum 😂😂😂😂😂
1. Mwoah
2. Obviously
3. I don't have one
4. It's the same for everybody
5. And it's not ideal
Awesome.
This is the most I've ever heard Kimi speak in one interview
*kimi in Monza setting the world record*
Radio: Kimi, you are on pole
Kimi: thank you
Literally one of my favorite moments
Young Kimi at Mclaren was my childhood driver
yeah me too, i hated Ferrari before Kimi joined them lol. For me the best Kimi is when he was at McLaren.
Man that moment from Brazil 2007 brought a tear to my eye. Still remember it as if it was yesterday. Brilliant video!!
Kimi Räikkönen: The latest race winner and WDC for Ferrari. Wonder how long it takes to break at least one or both of those. :)
Probably France Austria Belgium or Monza
Because ya know Ferrari only fast on a straight
@@DerekS75
Yeah but they lose time in corners. See China -- Track with the longest Straight.
And if the car is strong. Vettel plays Beyblade.
cedricxentertainment lmaoo bayblade
@@muhmonsta At least Leclerc doesn't want to let it rip
Today Ferrari leclare was so close but no cigar
Don't forget Australia 2013 where he made everyone surprised with his Lotus E21
Kimi for president... for FIA President!!!
Kimi is awesome! 😍 @f1 thank you for such contents! ❤️ #formula1 #kimi
My all time favourite driver..... Him then Montoya.... Kimi interviews are priceless....
This is Real Talent, this is ICE-MAN and this is the KIMI RAIKKONEN!
Well done Kimi, congrats for 300
Awesome happy 300th Mr. Iceman
The race that will remain in my heart is Japan 2005 when Kimi made a crazy comeback and at the end made a super overtaking at Fisichella. As a Kimi fan I remember that my heart almost burst with the happiness of that special victory.
Imagine that Kimi has driven most of his single seater carreer in the biggest racing serie in that category. Only 20 odd races in the Junior formulas and now 300 races on in Formula 1. Amazing. PERKELE, what a legend!
Disappointed that 2005 Monaco isn't on here. Kimi made a 35 second gap to THE Michael Schumacher in only 15 laps and went on to win the race by 42 seconds despite being the only driver to pit under green while the rest of the field had the benefit of pitting under safety car. Absolute masterclass of a drive.
Every time he talks about his WC, I can hear a little bit of emotion in his voice. That's unusual, but shows how important this title is for him
Suzuka 2005 is my fave, epic race !!
overall, my most fave raikkonen is when he race under mclaren, the combo which him with that suit+ that young iceman face + the arai helmet+ the silver arrow car+fastest race from him + ron dennis fatherly to him....is perfect!
F1’s most universally best driver!
this interview looks more interesting than tomorrow race
The greatest of them all 🙏
Happy 300 Kimi
Back when Todt was at the helm at Ferrari, that time when strategies were great
For 21 years from 1979-2000 Ferrari were haunted by the curse of Jody Scheckter . Now Ferrari are being haunted by the Kimi curse.
Love this guy ❤️
I see Kimi and I watch it. Always worth it.
I'm so in love with this man. :3 He's just the best ever!! :D
6:58 *Kimi doesn't drop the mic, he breaks the mic*
I have not seen a faster driver in the 21st century than Kimi Raikkonen in the tyre war from 2002-2006 at McLaren. He was easily the quickest on the grid those years. Once Bridgestone became the sole tyre supplier in 2007 things changed....
The man is a legend , really he is my favorite an one driver full of Drama , fun and surprises ..
i lovvvvvvve Kimmmmmmmmi ...
Favorited vid.. and we do really miss these days
When Kimi quits F1 everyone will miss him. F1 needs more characters like him. True man.
Finnish people are known to be gentlemen but I would count out Bottas because he's being controlled too much by the team than himself.
Man.
This guys deserve to win more then 1 championship title. But eventually luck is not on his side
Thanks!
I just been for a shxt ..best interview b4 race start ever..lol keep going kimi
Kimi is the best that F1 has, truly the Iceman is an Icon
Astonishing that he didn't pick any races from 2005.... Suzuka is my personal favourite, 17th to first. If you didn't fancy Japan then Spain, Monaco, Canada, Hungary, Turkey & Belgium were also on the list.
I've never heard this quoted as a statistic, it's just as I remember it - Back in the days of single lap qualifying where if you won last time out you got to go last in qualifying when the track was at its best & if you dnf'd last time out then you had to go out first - Kimi is the only guy ever to have gone out on track first & set a time that put him on pole. He did this more than once. 'nuff said.
Thoroughly agree, his 2005 drives were astonishing, I'm glad someone still remembers. Although accomplishing his sole World Championship with Ferrari, I would personally rate any of his McLaren drives above those with Ferrari.
Still watch his win at COTA on the DVR. Awesome!
What an amazing driver and even more amazing Charakter. Maybe the most charismatic driver in F1 history.
I wasn't a massive fan in 2005 of Raikkonen mainly because I was a Renault fan nothing to do with him or his driving skills. But have to say his drive in Suzuka in 2005 was one of the best drives you will see.
So Kimi how do rate your F1 career?
“Pretty ok”
Nampak tok det.. 😍😍😍😍.. Rindu nk tengok F1 race kt sepang balik..
"Good memories" ❤️
Unrealized triple world champion
One is suffice. He should ve got 2003 and also maybe 2008 but 2007 was kinda lucky. I think it all works around. I'd be pissed if didn't win a WDC at all. So I'm happy with what he's got
@@venukrithish007 2008??
I think you meant 2005....
Michelin vs Bridgestone was the days... made a big difference to Kimi you can tell
best video ever
A legend back then and still a legend today
I'm surprised he didn't say Suzuka 2005, that was a legendary drive from him!
KIMI FOR PRESIDENT
I followed Kimi since his first Race @Sauber F1 Team. A True Legend!
legend!
