When he spoke Finnish he wished happy mother's day to everyone.

Yeah. Aah, happy mother´s day to my mom and everyone else :D

[@Alf763]

So the thing about kimi is, his teams always love him, he’s so friendly and nice to everyone within his team and to all his mechanics etc. plus he’s ridiculously fast (in the mid 2000s he was the fastest driver on the grid) which means teams can’t get enough of him, but he just really really hates media and F1 politics so he doesn’t even pretend to care and it’s amazing

[@Postidemoni]

"Noh, mikä hätänä?"

[@lucalla]

You nailed it. The Iceman.

[@adambasing2693]

He also once climbed through an airport baggage x-ray machine because "he wanted to see what would happen." He was in F1 at the time.

[@ZK.421]

Really?😂 Is there a clip or article where I can read abt it?

[@Garbox80]

@@ZK.421 I think it's in his autobiography. Don't remember where and when that was, but he's had a lot of fun. And what could be more important than that in life?

[@limitedmark]

Kimi is a legend in F1, he will be missed.

[@Gilly9244]

It won’t be same without him!

[@rayfinkle5048]

BWOAH, the drink is not working.

[@markedgood]

Yea

[@brickisland6353]

Kimi raced against Max, and Max father. Just says a lot about how long he raced in F1. He also raced against Schumacher and his son.

[@mattivesterinen4821]

Raced against Mikä Häkkinen too.

[@ajstyles5704]

You know what's funny? We got Massa, and other 2nd drivers, but Raikkonen was truly one of the greatest 2nd driver.

[@sirsancti5504]

And Schumacher's brother.. Ralph. (I was not following F1 at thoae times.. Did he beat 3 Schumachers?)

[@Thomas1982]

He is a legend, spent less time in interviews in 20 years than most drivers do in a race weekend. Epic drinker, don't give a fuck what anybody thinks.

[@brickisland6353]

He doesn’t drink that much anymore as he’s got a family now

[@formatique_arschloch]

And also a genuinely nice guy. Just hated the politics on F1 and press meetings.

[@bigoz1977]

He was as you put “reporters worst nightmare “ his whole F1 career but he was a well renowned party legend outside of the race! 🤣🤣🤣

[@chewbacca6630]

Talking about his age reminds me of one of my favorite memes from 2020: The last time F1 raced at Imola, George was 8, Charles was 8, Lando was 6 and Kimi was 5th

[@bossstingray574]

Kimi is actually a very sweet kindhearted man. He's an amazing family man he just doesn't like the media or interviews. He is even quoted in saying the only part of f1 he liked was the driving.

[@michellehawk282]

Y'all should definitly react to Top 10 moments of Kimi Raikkonens Brilliance. He is way more than just "the funny guy". Sad he isn't gonna drive anymore. And btw, Kimi is married with 2 kids and his wife is absolutely gorgeous.

[@dmpyron2]

And an Olympian

[@MikkoRantalainen]

9:00 To really put Kimi's age into perspective, you have to remember that he was driving in F1 with the *father* of Max Verstappen around year 2001-2003 and the father of Mick Schumacher in 2004.

[@hueyrosayaga]

DANG, he's went up against 2 generations of Verstappen xD

[@kimnice]

@@hueyrosayaga Did you know that his son Robin is already driving go-karts and has apparently won a race? Maybe 10 years from now Max Verstappen has driven against two generations of Räikkönen

[@missmoon6624]

Finnish joke: 2 Finns sit at the bar. One asks the other: "So, how was your day?" The other replies: "are we here to drink or talk?" 🍻

[@MikkoRantalainen]

15:35 When Kimi was supposed to say something in Finnish to the fans he said "Well, good mother's day to mom and to all other mothers, too. That's all, thank you" in Finnish.

[@LathropLdST]

You are not aware how rare is to see Kimi smile. In that award event, he indulged a bit too much in gin. That, not vodka, is his preferred drink off the grid, so much that he was given a bottle for his Secret Santa. One of the most amazing drivers and greatest personalities in F1. We will miss our Iceman loads.

[@TonyNeat]

He got a massive show of love and respect at his final race. Says it all really 🙂

[@nerdyviking1670]

My favorite of the interviews I’ve seen Reporter: Kimi what happened out there? Kimi: I spun

[@rudyramadhana4127]

"I was having a sh*t"

[@MartinArscott1]

My all-time favourite driver, will be missed this year

[@darkbydesign1031]

you got the wrong idea when he was meeting Kidman, he had zero interest in meeting her, Kimi is a legend he has no interest in interviews or the media or the circus that surrounds F1 he only wants to drive

[@MajesticDemonLord]

Then you remember, one time a young fan was balling his eyes out (can't remember why) so Kimi went to give him a signed hat. He may not give a flying fuck about Interview, but he has a big heart.

[@fuzzluvver69]

And even that meeting was awkward!!

[@VoepJaessen]

7:08 fun fact Max Verstappen was 16 when he first drove a free practice session in a F1 car in 2014. The year later he got an F1 seat! So when he was 17 the guy drove an F1 race!

[@Donanzador]

No, Max had just turned 17 when he participated on his first free practice session of F1 (he's born on 30th of September 1997, and the free practice session in question was on 3rd of October 2014). But still incredibly young.

[@Gigachad-y9o]

@@Donanzador Fun fact: In the Netherlands (Max Homecountry) you can get your driving license at 16, but you are not allowed to drive a car alone. There must always be a person with you who already has a driver's license and driving experience. You can only drive a car by yourself when you turn 18. So basically: Verstappen was already a Formula 1 driver before he was even allowed to drive road vehicles alone.

[@Soulvex]

Kimi is one of the best f1 drivers ever, even though its not really on paper anyone who knows knows.

[@bigludo22]

most of this can be explained away by Kimi being Finnish

i m born in 2000 and ive been watchin F1 since i can remember and kimi i think came in in 2000 or 2001 and has raced until the last season 2021 with a break in between to go rallying and have a drive in NASCAR

[@patmcassey6465]

Funny thing about the Kyle Busch comparison is that Kimi drove for Kyle in the NASCAR trucks series during his break from F1.

[@damionlee7658]

When Max started in F1 there were more than a few jokes made over the course of the year, about how he had to get a taxi, or a lift with somebody, because he didn't have a driver's license.

[@sjdover69]

Kimi was known as The Iceman. He drove to the limit of the car with no mistakes at all times. There was a period of time when most of his places were through scaring rookies in front of him off the track. He's laid back and doesn't care. Every chance he gets he goes back to the trailer and sleeps. Why? "I like sleeping" He learnt driving rally on snow in forests like all Finns. F1 must seem kinda boring.

[@jordanrogers5184]

To be fair he did say the reason why he retired for the first time was because he was bored and wanted to try new motor sports like nascar but that bored him even more to the point he came back to f1

[@claytonreid996]

@@jordanrogers5184 well there was far more to that lol. He wanted to go snowmobile racing and did compete twice while under contract with Ferrari, completely ignoring the clause in said contract preventing him to doing other competitive sports or dangerous activities for branding and fear of injury and so he and Ferrari had some arguments. Because of this, after the '08 season he left and did a slew of different racing before coming back with Lotus. And now, in every contract he had since, including in his return to Ferrari, until his retirement, he mandated that he was basically allowed to do what he wants lol. He is an absolute legend

[@amalkallarackal9293]

@Jason both were cars designed for alonso and seb.... He was never a first driver and never got preference for car development.... Perhaps learn from f1 instead of being a dts fan boy

[@gordowg1wg145]

He also likes ice creams ...

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

Kimi is an absolute legend in F1 and famously a man of few words. To say he's dry would be an epic understatement.

[@DankApostle]

The reason Kimi is acting strange at the awards ceremony is because he is hammered. Which is the only time is when he is sociable is when he is wasted.

[@loreenpurisic23]

Kimi is one of my fav F1 drivers of all time and I really miss him... Truly a legend.

[@initialdfan8352]

Fun fact: kimi made 2 nascar starts in 2011, one in the truck series and another in the nationwide series, both at Charlotte

[@TiptronicSS]

Thanks for doing this, Kimi the Iceman was special to everyone who knew or appreciated F1. But to see 2 guys with limited F1 knowledge, who instantly recognized his humor in the "team radios" clip, enjoy this legends classics, it's really awesome. I love it! 😂😂😂

[@tnightwolf]

Kimi forever one of the goats and funniest! He will be missed! Another very funny pilot is Sebastian Vettel. They both drove for Ferrari at the same time, and i wish i could've been there to witness those 2 chatting and interacting!

[@watchreadplayretro]

When you wondered what happens to an F1 driver when they drink and drive, that reminded me of the F1 street scene in 'Driver' movie with Stallone's character chasing a drunk co-driver speeding through a city both in Formula 1 cars lol Great stuff guys!

"I was taking a shit"...

[@ivanjulian2532]

Just a bit of trivia regarding the TV presenter who damaged the car while driving on the ice? That's Natalie Pinkham. Before she started in TV she was a champion 800m runner. Apparently she was world class in the event. She has since transitioned to being one of Britain's most sought after TV presenters regarding motor sport. She is, by all reports, a very lovely lady and very knowledgable about Formula One. That was also Natalie at the 17:15 mark in your video.

First Kimi is a legend. And in his last race (in the Alfa Romeo) the wrote on the car: "now we leave you alone" because of this conversation in the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi (in i think 2013) wegen he told the guy from the Pit: "I know what I'm doing...just leave me alnone!!"

[@sarahmorris9284]

Arh the legend that is! He will be missed! There's a lovely video of him with Givonnazi and Kimi kids at the end of Abu Dhabi! It's the most iv ever seen him talk in his time in F1.

[@tarjatuhkanen7094]

Stupid questions got always short and equally "stupid" but clever, obvious answers. If you asked serious stuff he always had a good answer.

[@j0hnn13K]

The one and only Kimi, of my list with all-time-favorite-people (any discipline) he's easily in my top 3. There is something about him, his carefree attitude and the "i dont give a F" mentality are already praise worthy, but it's his incredibly dry sense of humor that gets me each and every time. Never forget, when asked why he (still) raced F1 cars after having achieved so much, his legendary answer was "bwoah, it's just a hobby"... Yup, he's a special one and we all love him for being who he is. (in a way... to me, he's kinda the Leslie Nielsen of F1, Leslie invented Deadpan, Kimi perfected it ;) )

[@natalie1306]

Kimi isnt “the funny guy” he is just loved by most f1 fans. Seb vettel (the guy who held kimi’s hand) or daniel riccardo are more the funny guys. The one word answers are famously a very Finnish thing, and kimi never fails. 😊

[@annebokma4637]

He is the greatest spokesperson of all time. Those clips will get repeats long after all others are forgotten 😂

When the current world champion Max Verstappen started in F1, he quickly made waves. He was 17, and not old enough to drive in his home country of the Netherlands.

[@janeburns1278]

Love this guy! In his last race the team changed a bit of his car livery to “we’ll leave you alone now kimi” after his most famous “leave me alone I know what I’m doing” radio message. :)

[@ankhayratv]

13:19 I was thinking: what track is that? Couldn't get to it, so I looked up more images and then I saw it. It's the Red Bull Ring in Austria. "Turn 3" !? That bend in the straight is not a corner!

[@gildo101rossi]

Not a lot of people know, even F1 fans don’t. But Kimi owns the iceone racing team, which has ran a Team in World Motocross for nearly 10 years, they were factory Husqvarna & just switched to factory Kawasaki

The Indian food question: he meant that if authentic Indian tastes like European "Indian food" then he likes it. Most just didn't understood what he tried to say 😂 Also "do you have any message to your Finnish fans?" was meant to be answered in Finnish and the maker of the video is a Finn, so that's why he included some of those too 🙂 He just said "Happy mothers day to my mom and all other mothers too. Nothing else to add. Thanks!" while he was expected to say something of the race or weekend 😃

"point the wheels to direction you want to go and throttle" 1 o 1 rally. Kimi actually gave good advice. He had to do some promo. Nowadays it's like if you are really good at something you do. Especially sporsts. They aren't educated pretty much of anything and media wants always more and more. Nowdays they actually train communication skills to football, nhl, nfl, nba, f1, rally and so on. It was refreshing that time to have Kimi who doesn't give a fuck but racing. He was really talented and probably like normal dude if you have a beer with him. No ego

[@hsrikar]

1:38 when Daniel Riccardo retires 😭

[@alexcrouwel6942]
