Kimi Räikkönen in the last lap - Monaco 2005

[@jaknohi1909]

Raikkonen one of the best drivers to take the fight to anyone if he car didn't fail

[@rajj9029]

The 1st race I watched was 2003 Malaysia Gp. Raikkonen won

Lexinho90 is half right... You can shift up, on this car, and those with a similar paddle configuration, not because the left paddle is set to shift up when you push it, but because the entire shifter is one piece of carbon fibre, attached on a rocker at the centre of the wheel (like a seesaw) - pushing the downshift effectively pulls the upshift side.

Fully automatic gearboxes were banned 2005 but I think semiauto was still allowed.

I just watched 2005 season recap. This championship was stolen from him by McLaren's poor reliability. Kimi was the best driver of that season although Alonso was a worthy champ too.

@NOXXism i thought about that as well but you can't really see two shifter paddles when he's turning the wheel

[@himbeergeist89]

@Lexinho90 oh ok well thank you very much, good to know :)

[@himbeergeist89]

how on earth is he shifting up at 1:19 ?

[@lukeguilfoyle2425]

Either pushing the left hand paddle away would result in an up shift as the gear lever was on a rocker type switch, or possibly the car was up shifting automatically. Don’t know if they’d banned that yet by 05 but in the V10 era those cars essentially had preselected up and downshifting based on the corner.
