Kimi Raikkonen Interview: Contracts, Motivation And Speaking Italian

[@IrLosin]

He was actually in a good mood during the interview. He must like Will.

[@TheSt1092]

Will is good with all the drivers and knows what they like to to be treated and how they don't . Stroll for example I think has a real bromance with Will cos Will often leaps to his defence when people from both media and fans are bashing him about only being in F1 due to his dad's money.

[@NullCreativityMusic]

He really looks chilled out lately, it's all bwoahh ;)

[@Billy_Silva]

Will is very gentle , but Kimi is in a good mood in general since Austin. Unloaded a truck from his shoulders.

[@MrCollewet]

when its the official F1 channel kimi always turns up

[@TrapAdy]

Everybody likes Will

[@TheOdd]

I love Kimi saying he never had an motivation, I'm just imagining him randomly ending up in F1 saying "bwoah, this is okay I guess."

[@babyslickj]

he doesn't come from a rich family but he was just a kid who was naturally fast and loved it. in his book it says that ending up in f1 was actually over the expectations for his parents at least, and it was a sum of kimi's performance, multiple people behind him and a bit of luck as well. his career has a very different foundation from the next gen stars, whose goal from day 1 might be to be an f1 driver.

[@Mototune16]

50*

[@Laksuuuuu]

@Filipe Leite f1 will lose a lot of fans from Fimland and from Asian countries when Kimi leaves

[@Balnazzardi]

Kimi has huge fanbase in asia especially, so ye I would expect some drop, but F1 has always gone forward and gained new fans for new drivers....One thing is for sure, once Kimi is gone, there wont be another one like him.... As Finn its hard for me to even rally behind Bottas when Kimi is gone.....its funny to think that way, but for me 3 Finnish drivers that Ive really liked over the years have been both Mikas (Häkkinen and Salo) and Kimi ofc. I never felt too bad for Kovalainen for example, when his career in F1 fell short or never felt as happy and excited about Bottas when he was won.

[@milesyuen3926]

*Suicide rate rises to 100%*

Kimi is seriously the most down to earth driver right now, along with Ricciardo.

Vettel seems to be quite grounded as well

[@pushatsinfrared]

[@niafer9444]

Kimi will leave a massive hole in F1 when he goes. He is one of the 'old guard' and a unique personality. I know he has two or more years still to go, but sometimes it's best to recognise the end is near and enjoy the twilight live rather than look back afterwards. I hope Sauber give him a car that allows him to fight near the front next year.

[@DarthEvilicus]

Is it just me or does it seem like Kimi is more lively and friendlier since he announced he is going to Sauber

[@Okuni_]

Less pressure of course

[@corahazelebach9418]

Exactly what I thought.

[@Balnazzardi]

Well Kimi is definitely feeling excited about the change of scenery/team..... Its entirely new kind of challenge for him, he hasnt been in midfield team other than his 2 years at Lotus and ofc his debut season at Sauber, so he should get lot more actual racing against other drivers next season than just having rather dull races at the front.

[@MichaelRCarlson]

He's kind of really opened up all season. He's been more chatty than ever. There was one moment where it looked like Will was thinking "Ok that's enough Kimi, shut up so we can get to the next question". We've never seen that before. :P

[@DieselDan09]

I agree he is happy

[@Natasha-of6mn]

Think this is one of the best Kimi interviews I've ever seen. He seems so comfortable and talkative and is easily joking around so great interviewing and good original questions!

[@janisperkelsson7107]

For sure. He's so chill after getting some success lately (pole in Monza, win in USA)

[@m33000W]

Kimi is beautifully anarchist and very dedicated to be primarily truthful and honest to himself. All the rest is non important to him, except his family I believe. This kind of character is so rare in public scenes so that's why we like Kimi so much.

[@kyaryi1]

He's serious. Kimi only raced after his prime for fun and the earnings. You can tell that he didn't give any real effort after he won the championship and after Lotus. Racing is his hobby and F1 is his like his backyard.

[@Balnazzardi]

just 2 more races in Ferrari....shame but excited at the same time to see what Kimi can do in midfield next season and beyond in 2020.

[@theq4224]

Balnazzardi i think he will have more fun in midfield races. It isn't a shame he isn't able to compete with Seb and Lewis anymore for his age. So why drive boring races at the front and get podiums (and more interviews xD) if he is able to have exciting battles and interesting races in the midfield.

[@alexparent860]

Balnazzardi it will also be good to see 2 fresh faces at the 3 top teams (GAS & LEC) and to see what their potential is.

[@alexparent860]

Filipe Leite I think Leclerc can be at the same level as Vettel, for Gasly I think Verstappen will dominate (but he probably is 2nd driver pre-season). But in an ideal world for me, both Gasly and Leclerc will bring good results.

[@alexparent860]

Filipe Leite I think they’ll do good, hopefully they’ll be very competitive. Also I don’t think inexperience will be a big problem. Like what’s the last time a driver flopped at a top team? I really can’t remember.

[@Balnazzardi]

@Alex Parent Well Mclaren had high hopes for Perez and Magnussen in 2013 and 2014, both were given the boot after 1 year....obviously you can argue that Mclaren might not have been exactly top team anymore during those years but anyhow... Also I think Kovalainen was flop when he went against Hamilton in Mclaren in 2008 and 2009....definitely you could say that his poor performance might have very well costed Mclaren WCC in 2008 that they might have won with better driver. Anyhow we have to see exactly how good Leclerc can really be.....too early to judge one way or another. Im however expecting him to be very close to Vettel right from the start. I dont think Ferrari would have got him for 2019 already if they thought he was not good/ready enough.
