ITV discusses Kimi going through smoke at Spa - (Murrary Walker, James Allen and Martin Brundle)

A general discussion about Kimi's brave actions.

[@stanis4554]

Kimi how did you feel driving through the smoke? Also kimi: I don't know its like a hobby for me.

[@harshalgawai746]

Bwah! It was easy

[@Kibouo]

James Allen, Martin Brundle, Mark Blundell, Jim Rosenthal, Tony Jardine and of course Murray Walker on ITV F1… this was the dream team I loved during my teen years!

[@sebspokestop]

I really really miss James Allen's commentary.

[@georgiosioannispappas]

@@sebspokestop Crofty knows nothing about the sport whereas James Allen is a certified motorsport journalist, yet, Sky opted for the former...

[@Googar12]

On the onboard of Kimi you can see the oil on track and you can see that he changes sides when going through the smoke

[@alexstruss8485]

Where’s the onboard video?

He's also doing the racing line through there though...

[@Fujiwara.Takumi1]

This is the definition of kimi: Brave, crazy and a hobby

[@tommcglone2867]

The moment i becane a Kimi fan. The fact he saw the trail of oil rrom Panis' exploding engine and moved to the left and remained at full throttle while blind. Thats why hes The Iceman

[@crazyboy-zk5qr]

His engineer told him on the radio to keep left. It was not bravery or stupidity, just using his ears. People love to throw in the first idea that comes from their smooth brain smh.

[@cbrend22]

You’re a douche. 200 mph into smoke trusting your radio guy, not know if there’s any debris or oil on the track. That takes stones, no way you would have done it so stfu.

[@noobednatherium4082]

@@cbrend22 thanks man, this guy is such a contradictordummy

[@barryotoole6990]

Brave ...

[@crazyboy-zk5qr]

@@cbrend22 @cbrend22 If there was the SLIGHTEST doubt of oil leak, than Kimi would've been told to abort the lap since we know how serious they take safety in motorsports. And ofc I cannot drive an F1 car as fast as they do because I am not trained for it. Also taking into account how CALCULATING Kimi is, it is not very sensible to call it pure bravery. Ofc bravery is involved the moment you step in the car, this case is much more of a calculated risk.

[@PeterTeal77]

Idc what his engineer told him, doing 200 mph through a blinding cloud of smoke takes balls

[@adamkhan5274]

Watch between 2:34 and 2:35 if you can....that was car control, skill, balance and that "talent" Raikkonen was reknown for. Just a lift and back on the throttle. Rear sliding perfectly 100% commited.

[@adamkhan5274]

@Mitchell G if he hit marbles he would have lost it but close to the edge.

[@adamkhan5274]

@Mitchell G im aware. I used to drive the things.

[@theelf152]

@Mitchell G You don't know what your talking about. Freeze it @2:34 & you will see half of Kimi's car is over the racing line and onto the kerb. And if you observe very very closely he's actually corrected with the slightest of opposite lock, meaning he slid all the way through that..something only Raikkonen can do at those speeds with that level of precision.

[@theelf152]

Exactly, he looks like he's actually sliding even on entry (very slightly) even before he's over the kerb, but that's the brilliance of Raikkonen, we need to freeze it to see his work. As you say @ 2:34 you can see the slight opposite lock when frozen. In real time you can barely notice it and looks like he never even backed off- just beautiful to watch. I'm no professional but that exactly how I like driving.

[@adamkhan5274]

Its the "talent" of a Raikkonen, the pure feel he has of the rear sliding.@@theelf152

[@vesahonkanen9266]

Well thats the reason why he is still one of the best. Kimi knows how to drive.

[@theaceofone2610]

There is bravery, there is stupidity, there is both, and then there is this

[@acexbox]

2:43only the brave should apply said Martin brundle lol

[@suni08]

Ciaron your unbridled love of raikkonen may sometimes be misplaced, but you're doing a service to f1 fans by uploading all these old clips and I thank you for it

[@ciaronsmith4995]

It's not love. It's just a fact he was the fastest driver in F1. Big difference. I like F1. I watched before and after Kimi. Cheers.

[@HalfManThirdBiscuit]

These guys would be ordered to condemn it these days or face the sack

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

Talking about going thru the smoke at Spa. He was doing ridiculous speed, is there many places on the f1 calender when they will be going faster than on that straight? (is it the kemmel straight?) . It makes me think of Dan Wheldon (God bless him). He was as brave as anyone but, well we all know what happened. Rip.

[@ChogerHD]

Baku maybe?

[@srxt6758]

Thats why Martin Brundle is not a champion let alone Grand Prix winner

[@Beef7599]

Or maybe he raced during an age when drivers died in Formula 1

[@TroystonB]

@@srxt6758 brundle was extremely good

[@TroystonB]

@@srxt6758 he has won le mans and the world championship in sportscar. pushed senna to the very end in f3 only lost by a few points if I remember correctly.

[@srxt6758]

@@TroystonB thats why he only has 9 podiums in 13 years of f1. Maldonado and Grosjean were both gp2 champions and we all saw them in f1. Nobody says they were extremely good and Maldonado is basically a living meme yet even him won a race unlike Brundle. If Brundle was extremely good he would have beaten rookie Schumacher but he lost out in points and wins. Quali was even more embarrasing with 16-0 in Schumi's favor. And about him beating Senna in f3. Brundle only outraced him in two races that year. Senna recorded 12 wins that year Brundle 6 but Senna had 5 retirements and he missed a round whilst Brundle had only 1 retirement which is the reason they were close on points in the first place... Check the statistics 1983 F3 championship and see for yourself... His "I almost beat Senna in F3" story can only get him so far. He was in f1 and did nothing end of discussion...

"There's no sector or lap ever worth losing your legs for, or your life" - Moral of the story there is slow down under yellow flags

[@czyrusbalaong7946]

I thought the pit wall told him that it was clear???

[@MiddleAR]

"leave me alone i know what to do"

[@theelf152]

I'm just gob smacked that only once the commentators mentioned quoted him as saying " he saw the oil line down once side of the track and went to the other side".. They should be giving him full credit as a Racer who is aware of what happening , even if there is a risk it's a lot less for someone as aware as he obviously was to notice in that situation.
