F1 - Kimi Räikkönen mighty through Eau Rouge

About 2008 and 2009 shots: Back then I heard acussations that Kimi by going off the track at La Source took an unfair advantage which helped him to pass a driver in front of him. It was used as a counterarguement to Hamilton's penalty in 2008. Well, these onboard shots show that was definitely not the case. Kimi was just braver and much faster through Eau Rouge.

These discussions were about the start and Kimi did gain an advantage by leaving the track at the exit of Turn 1 at the start but that's part of F1. He took an advantage by exploiting a grey area.

@@FS-bx6hp Not to mention Trulli locked up in 2009, and Kimi had to avoid it!

Man Kimi at his peak was something else

[@mclarenguy22]

Not only did his early throttle input made him so quick, but he also used his intelligence and temperament to make his moves. Even when he was young, he just didn’t fear anyone or anything. The drivers he finished behind in every season from 2002-2006 just, clinically, had faster and more reliable machinery.

Kimi is easily the most committed through this corner.

He truly is the king of Spa!

ライコネんの運転さばきはすばらしい、物産。

Wasn't there a race or qualifying, where some car's engine blew up somewhere after Eau Rouge, blocking the view ahead with a thick white cloud and Kimi just barreled through the fog at full throttle? Kimi was one of F1's finest drivers and cut from a material we don't see much today.

Yes, he couldn't see anything but didn't even lift and went 10/10 through the smoke 😂

[@DiabolicalBiscuit]

it was on the straight after eau rouge-radillion, otherwise known as the kemmel straight

[@Chonk2504]

Just rounda the 1 min mark in the wet is bloody epic. Also the pass on Michael near the end of the clip is ridiculous

[@vikramnatarajan2857]

Kimi was not the king of spa but the emperor of Spa

[@ricardosouzanascimento2340]

o circuito da Bélgica talvez seja o mais bonito.

This is what the Finns call sisu.

Robin is going to be even better than him - scary
