There’s actually a reason he was doing that other than not wanting to weave to warm the tires. He was repeatedly going on and off the brakes to warm the tires that way instead. There’s videos of Lewis doing it as well; I just can’t remember where.
@@akafxde7245 Most likely Yelistener's channel, he did one on Lewis' different tyre-warming strategies in different situations in Baku, I believe. And you're right, not exactly a "Kimi moment" per se, but seeing that clip when he's the *only* one doing it, as well as it specifically looking like he's not moving when others are just gave such a classic Kimi vibe XD
Kimi, while racing hard always left enough space for oher drivers. He never went for imaginary gaps or blamed others. That's something I very much respect. No BS with Kimi.
Very good capture of Kimi' s profile, that very few are speaking about. Kimi will remain the cleanest racer that ever was in f1 and yet champion. In plus his pure talent in the car was unmeasurable and very rarely seen. Just think about the fact that his first f1 race was in a Sauber , one of the last teams on the grid and he scored 5th position. Max, Charles, Hamilton, Alonso none of these names could ever do that. Please take into account that he came in f1 almost directly from Karting. Still unheard of.
Kimi at McLaren was insanely quick. Definitely one of the quickest ever in F1. He was never again the same driver at Ferrari (for whatever reason). Maybe he lost his motivation a bit.
Max is a lite version of kimi right now. If he stays in the sport for long enough i could see him ending up like that....he takes no crap from reporters, says it as he feels.
@@nevadatorres2865 lmao well they're both world champions. Both don't give 2 craps. Both enjoy racing outside of F1. Both have a young family so to speak.
Kimi was a mixed bag. A ball of fire early in his career. And then he seemed to realize that he was paid to do a job and accepted that mentality. I had no hate for him doing that. It was a smart move. But the early Kimi kind of disappeared into the corporate F1 structure. Then he really hurt himself badly, during a rally event, while driving in rally off season. I mean Kimi really messed up his lower back. In ways he's never told anyone. I saw it in his lap times the season after he came back from that injury. It definitely impacted his performances ever since. But the sum total of Kimi, to me, is a guy who came in like a comet and flamed across the Formula One sky and did the best he could, as he saw fit. And that is why I will always respect Kimi Raikonnen. He did not give a damn what I thought, or what anyone else thought. Like the Frank Sinatra song, Kimi did it his way,. And it was entertaining as hell to watch happen . Thank you Kimi, for bringing the heat, every race, no matter what. You were awesome.
He won the WDC in 2007, but what happened in 2008 (a lot of mechanical retirements and accidents -the one in Canada and Singapore) and in 2009 (in the second half he was totally good) and the early exit from Ferrari was a bit strange. That's why Kimi in 2012-2013 with Lotus made so happy. He was awesome and proved he is that good!
kimi's lotus really shone through his racecraft. if lotus didnt have money issues, kimi would have had a shot at the 2012 WDC, even 2013 if possible. Look up his record during those seasons and you will be shocked by the sheer number of podiums he had!
Just pure quality driver! He’s one of the best drivers who has spatial awareness while driving and keeps cool in any situation. I’m sure almost everyone agrees that his one championship doesn’t justify his talent.
for me it the real goat forget the number forget the statistics LOOK THE SPEED look the fun no simulator no nothing sit in there and rip that car forever KIMI
Kimi could have been multiple champion if he really put his mind into it. Unlike Senna, Prost, Schumacher Kimi always wanted to have a life outside of F1. He wasn't dedicated enough. But Ron Dennis said that Kimi was naturally the fastest guy he has ever seen. And this from a guy who had Senna, Prost, Hakkinen and Lauda in his team.
I feel like Max is in the beginning stages of being Kimi because his no sugarcoat bullshit attitude and vibes are in line with Kimi in the beginning I feel like
Love Kimi, he just was there to race, and that was it. Kept the sport honest, in a way. Max is similar in a way but -and this might sound dumb- Max is Dutch, Kimi a Fin and you can tell this by Max knowing more languages than Kimi facial expressions and probably words. But I'd say I miss a guy like Mika Häkkinen even more. On the track it's hard to tell who was better in their prime but both were good to a point, where that doesn't really matter anymore, they both could beat anyone on their day. But of track Mika could be just like Kimi but he also had this childish side, where he after not having muscles in his face for an hour, he'd suddenly pulls of a really silly joke that no one but him gets. And there is this interview where Mika talks about Kimi being his friend in this threatening way, which just has to be my all time favorite F1 interview.
Raikkonen went from driving a villainous, lightweight, awesome-sounding McLaren Mercedes to ending his career in an overweight, oversized turbo hybrid V6. What a shame… For any new F1 fans, look up “Michael Schumacher 2001 Suzuka Pole”. That’s how fast an F1 car should look & how awesome it should sound. Bring back V10s. Bring back the real Formula One.
I forgot who told the story... it was in some F1 publication... but probably some F1 press guy. He was in some kind of motorsport gala and met Kimi Raikkonen in the balcony. Kimi was drunk (what a surprise). They knew eachother already before this. The editor tried to chat with him but Kimi was just silent. Then suddenly he said "I hate F1" and went to the bar to get another drink. 😅
Good old times i watch f1 since 2011 but i managed to watch Kimi Raikonen people will miss those times i would love to see f1 legends race at Monaco or Silverstone in a icon gp
What's so wrong with being verbally considerate of and respectful towards others? I'm not saying Kimi was disrespectful or inconsiderate, I'm talking about your jab at "PC culture". Racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, islamophobia, and other forms of cruelty towards minorities being unacceptable makes the world a better, more inclusive place. That's a *good* thing.
also, I believe if you put an "pld school" driver in a modern car, it'd be the same as now. Imagine Clark or Senna, JTNAF.. racing till retirement. I think there is a lot to appreciate now. You just can't compare then and now, but in many ways you can in the drivers if you can just see it. You got to take the old glasses off. I find it opens ny eyes.
100% He is always gonna be in the mix with even Fangio & Ayrton for me! ...oop forgot sm dumb...I mean his importance to me & my memories of F1 which span 65 yrs
I think it's the drivers with the killer instinct, Max has it, Michael Schumacher's era most if not all the drivers had it, Jenson Button and Vettel too. Fernando and Lewis, I feel the two of them never were that kind of a driver.
Kimi was the fastest fair racer I’ve ever seen. He is also without doubt the most accurate racer in any category I’ve ever seen in 50 years and Ive seen more racing up close than most people. How many drivers had mm control on the limit so consistently?? - no one but Kimi. For me that made him the best! It is the Epitome of what Sport is to not compromise your sporting integrity at the most cut throat political sport on earth. I don’t care if you win 7 titles if you were treated differently in your team or you knowingly put someone into the wall, etc, etc. He had a level of emotional control knowing that even touching tyres at speed could launch and end either/ both drivers. This nature allowed him to find new and creative ways to pass people in places even other champs did not even consider. He was the master of wheel to wheel combat - laser sharp. All the other stuff is great because he’s an honest bloke (rare) who had a-lot of fun. But people really need to look at the incredible skill he had and the fact he would easily have been a multi wdc in his early days at Mclaren but for the worst mechanical probs of that era. Let alone the politics he encountered at Ferrari in 2008/9. How many drivers win from 17th at Suzuka (2005), & How many guys win at SPA (2004) in a bad handling car banged up car with a faulty gearbox from 10th?. As a huge motor racing fan I miss him heaps. Can’t/ Won’t say that about any other racers and there are/have been many I like/respected.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also anyone agree with me that in raw speed Senna is the only one quicker then Kimi also guys in the chat who are your top 5 quickest drivers in raw speed?
After Schumacher left and juan Pablo kimi was the most fun by far! F1 is just boring all around now. esp the driving Id love to have seen kimi race indy cars on ovals Could he come do a indy stint?
Love the clip of the grid all weaving to warm up their tires, and Kimi is just driving straight on
There’s actually a reason he was doing that other than not wanting to weave to warm the tires. He was repeatedly going on and off the brakes to warm the tires that way instead. There’s videos of Lewis doing it as well; I just can’t remember where.

Kimi will always be the GOAT in my eyes. Lightning quick.
In my opinion Senna is only quicker than him from a raw speed point of view.
Kimi at McLaren was insanely quick. Definitely one of the quickest ever in F1. He was never again the same driver at Ferrari (for whatever reason). Maybe he lost his motivation a bit.
@detonator2112 the car was never to his liking as he was not the first driver anymore and he and seb had completely different styles
he showed some nice performances in 2018
Max is a lite version of kimi right now. If he stays in the sport for long enough i could see him ending up like that....he takes no crap from reporters, says it as he feels.
No, there is no one like Kimi.
@@mjarmes 🤦 always one eh
On the surface it may seem like it. But max and Kimi are completely different in their mentalities and abilities.
Max is like everyone apparently
@@nevadatorres2865 lmao well they're both world champions. Both don't give 2 craps. Both enjoy racing outside of F1. Both have a young family so to speak.
Without a doubt, Kimi is the end of an era. Maybe not the best, but definently always a contender.

He may lose two championship battles. But when he finally won it, he won it with style
The Ice Man! What a character, loved the fact he had absolutely no filter and was a great driver.
for me it the real goat
forget the number forget the statistics
LOOK THE SPEED look the fun
no simulator no nothing sit in there and rip that car
forever KIMI
Reporter: Kimi what happened 🎤
Kimi: *I Spun* 😐
Yes, I love Kimi Raikonnen ...
He just cold and doesn't gives a shit mentality ☝️
I love Kimi. After Mika retired he was my driver since I've always been a Mclaren fan. Even after he was racing for Ferrari, I still cheered for him.
Mika never retired he said it's just a sabatical year...
Kimi could have been multiple champion if he really put his mind into it. Unlike Senna, Prost, Schumacher Kimi always wanted to have a life outside of F1. He wasn't dedicated enough. But Ron Dennis said that Kimi was naturally the fastest guy he has ever seen. And this from a guy who had Senna, Prost, Hakkinen and Lauda in his team.
Trust people to comment about Max in a video that has nothing to do with him. There's only ONE Kimi. There's no replication. Period. Iceman!
There will, And there is
Oscar Piastri
Oscar absolutely is. He's well trained by Mr. Webber 😎
Kimi and Fernando, James Hunt. F1 will never be the same again, like rock-n-roll its just another business now.
Oscar Piastri will try though.
Yes Kim the best ever. What a cool dude
BWOAH
I feel like Max is in the beginning stages of being Kimi because his no sugarcoat bullshit attitude and vibes are in line with Kimi in the beginning I feel like
“If my mom had balls she would be my dad” is a kimi thing to say😂
“lol”
"Who drinks for 16 days straight between Grand Prix's"?
I do, and I drink when I'm watching them as well.

Kimi was the best... and you might agree to disagree but 2007 season was the best season of the past 20 years
he was pure and real, none of the utter bs humans are today with PC culture and so on
Why you bringing politics into a video about a driver. Shut up.
What's so wrong with being verbally considerate of and respectful towards others?

He´s got that drunk zen mindset of a finnish grandpa and that´s why he is maybe the most likable f1 driver ever
I can see Oscar evolve into Kimi
No, he doesn't usually say everything he thinks like Kimi.
@@Warrioruk Of course not, but for me, Oscar probably still can be the friendly version of Kimi.
@@RadityaPramanaPutra2001 The only thing they got in common is that they're very calm persons that's it, apart from their talents of course.
@@Warrioruk You're right.
Don't compare Max to Kimi, he ain't even close, he is just full of papa Jos trauma.
never say never.
03:17 "At least you have a light car then!" - said Brundle, but it's missing from the clip...

100% He is always gonna be in the mix with even Fangio & Ayrton for me! ...oop forgot sm dumb...I mean his importance to me & my memories of F1 which span 65 yrs

Alcohol❌: sim rating ✅
uhhhh its really just a hobby for me
Mwoah...
George Russell is the opposite of Kimi. Change my mind.
Until another fin joins the ranks.
I agree, Kimi will be forever remembered as the last Ferrari champion in history
Get me on the grid and ill fill that place.
No
You'd have to be funny without trying which you're already failing at.
i like video title and video like this,i understand you need to increase number of views but just small advice,if possible don't use clickbait title
Waiting for the “There will never be another driver like Daniel Ricciardo” drop next time he scores points ❤
Bwoah
why does this video on repeat in this channel 😂
Like i swear weve seen it before lmaoooo
After Schumacher left and juan Pablo kimi was the most fun by far!
F1 is just boring all around now.
esp the driving
Id love to have seen kimi race indy cars on ovals
Could he come do a indy stint?
It's a Finnish F1 driver thing. Lol!!!! Mika Hakkinen is the same way.
Yooooo
wsg
Unfortunately you are wrong. F1 has found its new Kimi Raikkonen and he's Australian just like you too
slow day eh?
Me
No substance in this vid
F1 now is boring lack of driver with character
Sometimes, I absolutely agree with this fact.
Absolutely!
Bwoah
