Kimi Raikkonen Before the Podium Abu Dhabi GP 2012 - F1

[@TheSh4rK]

Vettel: The only person on earth to make Kimi laugh/smile!

[@TheBlackForrester]

I love how the three of them respect each other. Fantastic drivers. All of them.

[@elbagrau]

Kimi : good driver, good person. Vettel : average german driver, good person Alonso : excellent driver, shit arrogant person

[@leotramontana3266]

Morello So Vettel's finger is not arrogant? Also Kimi never sign autographs to anyone, isn't that arrogance?

[@bugsymoloneful]

Leo Tramontana see getting the picture with that young kid

[@knilchispam]

***** calm down bro, he said "average german driver"cause german drivers are always excellent ;-)

[@elbagrau]

knilchispam Thank you man. I didn't want to answer him coz He sounded a bit slow, so It would just be a waste of time. You got me bro : Put any german in a good car and He will win everything possible. I like Vettel because He's a nice and funny man, but He's not an "outstanding" driver like Lauda or Senna... He's just another german who doesn't make mistakes when driving :)

[@jackalfox332]

Vettel must be the only one in the F1 paddock that can get Kimi to have a conversation. I suspect Ferrari are going to have one hell of a partnership with Ferrari next year and hopefully for a few more years. It's one of the most important things Ferrari needs right now.

[@felixfenix321]

Kimi and Sebastian see each other outside f1, they sometimes travel together. Kimi and Seb have both referred to each other as 'friend'. They did this interview during the Belgian gp 2013 where Kimi had to reply to certain words with one word. Sebastian Vettel..he said 'friend'. Fernando Alonso..he said 'driver'. I think they're as close, if not closer than Fernando and Mark Webber.

[@TheBavarianGamer]

the only situations you see kimi smile on an F1 weekend is when hes talking with Vettel. Great to see such friendships in this sport even today :)

[@minus21334]

BTW, the one whom first hugged kimi was vice president of FIA who happened to be best mate with Kimi during his rally days.

[@Balnazzardi]

To see how Alonso is forever Alone xP...and also seeing how great friends Kimi and Seb are ;)...also at 1:35 Seb sais to Kimi "atleast now the "mulkut" (=assholes/dicks, however you want to translate that) shut up"...meaning all those ppl, media/press especially who have questioned Kimi's motivation...and to that Kimi replied "maybe....they always find something else"

When Kimi and Seb are kept in the same room, whoever is with them becomes the third wheel. Poor Alonso. Valtteri had felt it too in Hungary 2017 Lol.

Felipe did many great start as well. In Brazil for example =P Sadly he had to let alonso pass. With teammate help + great race car with great start, fernando should've won the title.

[@Lumi7979]

Well at least you get to see the podium stuff... our fucking channel goes on commercial break right when the race ends so we only get to see them again on the podium, and IF we're lucky and they have nothing "better" to show afterwards, we might get to see their podium statements. But press conferences are no longer shown here in Greece, perhaps a snippet on the evening news, nor do they show the quali on saturday. FML, luckily I download races I truly enjoyed to watch them again :P

[@Balnazzardi]

Well in the end Kimi doesnt have anything against Alonso, but Montezemolo is different story...he never really liked Kimi and Kimi never liked him. Jean Todt was really the only one who understood Kimi and as soon as he left Ferrari after 2007, the rumors started that Ferrari wanted Alonso to replace Kimi...and ofcourse it was Montezemolo who wanted Alonso there.

[@Imagine1965]

There is the top four drivers in the same level - Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton and Kimi. Their resignation is really a marginal

[@1987ricsi]

anybody realized Kimis quesrion at 1:48? : _the safety car was good for you? :D

[@Joonavainio]

See English wiki for more detailed info as for why and how. The Italian one "forgets" to mention one crucial thing about the retaliatory joke.

A driver that wins every race can be a gold mine for his team and their sponsors - but, it can also be boring for their fans, i.e. Vettel in 2011. If the driver has an off track personality at least the fans and the sponsors both get something out of the race.

[@Mighhx]

That guy is making sure that they're wearing the caps and watches (well there used to be watches...) etc. from what I've seen. Don't know his title but some sort of F1 PR guy :D

[@kynigh]

1:16 thinking "Yeah, that's me!"

[@francesthemutes]

Alonso had to, at that point, race his heart out every single lap. Especially that race. He had a massive chance to completely flip the championship at that point. He's also probably disappointed that he could only take three points.

[@Veyron640]

Alonso with the hats.. Priceless!

[@minus21334]

Michael Shcumacher said the development focus on Massa not Kimi. Kimi drove a Massa car to title in 2007. Enough testament to his ability.

[@Mikemantis819]

I like how Alonso is not sure which to use, and once he decides he just tosses it on the table!

[@twimaniacfromfinland]

please somebody tell me what is it whit germans and finns? mika and michael, kimi and seb... serioysly is it cause the history ( german king in finland), or what cause german drivers and finnish drivers are really different by their personalities...

[@xOShAuGhNeSsYx96]

That leaderboard was for the season as it stands not the results of the race. You can see that Vettel has 255 points but you only get 25 points for winning a race.

[@FinSituation]

Raikkonen didn't have motivation, didn't adjust to the no-traction-control, and Ferrari didn't treat him like they do with Alonso. And Massa was really good, until 2009. That crash DID do something to him. Before that, he was even better than Floplonso.

[@IEATBIEBERNOW]

Yeah, btw, Vettel was the one complaining about the traffic on the race track.

[@anderssedin7357]

Hope some day we have F1 driver from Sweden too.

[@552MB]

Why drop Räikkönen then? Here’s Montezemolo’s explanation: We realised that our team needed a driver capable of really getting involved with the engineers, a characteristic that was not part of Kimi’s genetic make-up, even though he is an amazingly talented guy. Luca di Montezemolo

[@Cruciferus]

"Aloneso"

[@ed1ss]

Maybe just cause Kimi has raced in more formats of motor racing than Seb. I hope the rumours are true and Kimi goes to Red Bull next season. I think they are the two best drivers in F1 at the moment.

[@Zephyrdia]

They're not really "friends-friends". They just get along because they're both Finnish, but outside the track they don't really have anything to do with each other. They don't hang out with each other. I think it's maybe because they have a very different personality from each other. And if I'm not wrong Heikki completely stopped drinking a few years ago so... :D

Vettel's got the idea. After Abu Dhabi drivers aren't allowed to swear after the race while being broadcasted live so they'll just need to change languages while swearing.

[@anttiantti92]

[@Mformularacer]

Did you even watch that race? Trulli was controlling the race from the very beginning. Alonso was making no impression on his team mate, then fernando crashed in the tunnel. And yes there was a brief safety car period midway through the race which allowed Button to catch up to Trulli. But after the safety car left the track Trulli built up and controlled a 6-7 second lead on Button. That gap deteriorated late in the race when Trulli got heavily stuck in traffic.
