Those who have only seen Kimi in videos and whatnot will never know how much Kimi actually talks in person, when he's enjoying himself or not being surrounded by reporters and paparazzi. He's actually very talkative and likes to talk about pretty much anything *but* work related stuff (which in his case means racing). Meanwhile Häkkinen is the kind of a person who cannot stop joking around - to him, laughs are important. He's a super expressive person. Then there's Salo, who is a bit of an introvert, you need to get him comfortable at first and he'll start talking about pretty much anything - he loves to talk about his youth, cars and give tips regarding racing. Bottas... I have no idea. I've never even seen him IRL.

His personality is one thing, but his skill as a driver was absolutely ridiculous too. He entered F1 after only 23 races in Formula Ford / Formula Renault, which as far as I'm aware is basically unheard of. 23 races in an open-wheeler and then landing in Sauber, beating the existing driver's (Deniz) times by a good chunk after like a day of practice, during tests... Absolutely incredible talent, walked into the sport and became a world champion after such a small amount of experience. This is why people need to love Kimi Räikkönen, and the fact that he's so humble and just loves the sport SO MUCH makes him that much more loveable.
