Top moment of Kimi, is when he parked his broken car and went directly to party at the yacht in 2006 Monaco
Kimi is 2005 Monaco winner 😎❤
Easily should've been top. Lol
"where his friends were drinking their own weight in alchool"
Hol up
I still remember that ,he was second place when it happened,the coverage showed his entire walk throughout the tunnel and then to his yacht,i was laughing all the while it happened and it was that moment kimi became my favourite driver in F1, no press conference bs and pure skill,give that man his gloves , a steering wheel and empty his drinking bottle and that man will stand on top of the podium anyday.
“Kimi Raikkonen brilliance” *Thumbnail is Kimi drinking* Perfect.
The drink, is it on or not?
@@markhenley3097 we forget the conect kimi you will not have the drink sorry
@@markhenley3097, we connected this time, Kimi, you will have the drink
That's my new desktop wallpaper 😆
It's perfect, we all love Kimi podiums! Everyone else does the processional champagne spraying and yada yada yada, whereas Kimi sprays bare minimum then goes straight to chugging! 😂
*Legend says that doctors found traces of blood in his alcohol system*
How is that possible!
Oh no thats illegal in Kimi's world
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He has the drink
Hahaha!!! Yup, that's true 👍
Interviewer: "Kimi how would you describe driving a Formula 1 car?" Kimi: *shrugs* "normal."
"Hobby"
It's easy to keep my tyres warm if I have my gloves and steering wheel.
fast
there's no drink
Bwoah
Interviewer: “The most exciting moment during the race weekend?” Kimi Raikkonen: “I think so it’s the race start, always.” Interviewer: “The most boring?” KR: “Now.” (Savage)

“It’s more like a hobby for me. So, obviously, I don’t need to do it if I don’t want.”
They missed a trick by not inserting that clip at the end of this.
He isn't fighting for glory or wins, or history. He's fighting because he chose too. He's one of the best to ever race and still is
staying true to his passion, racing
he is still in passion in f1 for sure.
bwoah
Kimi has announced his retirement, even though he is in his 40s and has been in this sport for nearly 20 years I'm not ready to see him go... Thank you so much for the memories Kimi you absolute legend.
it’s gonna be a hard goodbye
i think he doesnt leave motorsport
All 7 Lewis' titles are less then 1 Kimi's. I hoped Kimi will not retire after this season but the things like they are. Emptiness in my fan heart. Verstappen is closer to young Kimi than any other driver. Wish Kimi had one more win this season but it's almost impossible. Forever the Real Champion 🏆!
@@smaxakoff why do you have to say something bad about Lewis when there is absolutely no reason to 🤦 This is just about Kimi, leave Lewis alone
@@williamsage7126 it's my opinion. I said what I said. I compared the value of 1 Kimi's title and 7 of Lewis'. That's it. You shouldn't look for a black cat in a dark room.

I’ll never forget that Fisichella trophy. It literally cost him the title that year to Michael on points. He raced the wheels off an unreliable McLaren for 4years. He could have easily been a 5 time champion if the car performed making Michael a 4 time champ. History will tell a different story
Why did he give the trophy back?
@@hliastsiwmos1887 aggregate timing.
@@hliastsiwmos1887 some dumb rule
Kimi admitted his engine failure at the Nurburgring that year ultimately cost him the title. The fact McLaren had to run a year old chassis because their newer car was too fragile to race makes his performances even more impressive. I still feel Suzuka 2005 was his magnum opus.
Kimi from 2003 to 2007 was in his best and could outperform anyone on the grid on racecraft and pace. But sadly McLaren those days had reliability issues too much. If McLaren had a more reliable package, he would surely be atleast 3 time world champ considering his form in 03,05. But, his legacy is not defined by titles.
I will never understand how he didn't have the most Championships. Lewis has the best car his entire run. Michael had a mix of best car and sheer luck. Kimi had bad luck and amazing talent.
You dont know F1.
The fire inside him was extinguished after the championship victory. He basically admitted in one interview in his Lotus years that the motivation to chase the second championship is not there.
He is the only person nobody has hated in Formula 1, What a man
He does have some haters, but yeah most people like him.
I hate him
@@f1etc.438 why?
Because Kimi represents the old F1, when were real men and no SJW or babygirls who cries even for a P3.

McLaren era Kimi was scary fast when the car held together. I was a diehard Schumi/Ferrari fan back then, but I really don't get why, because the Iceman was something else.
It's because Red looks cool
I was also an MSc fan, but held Kimi in high esteem. Respect champ!
Dude could beat Senna, Fangio, Schumacher and Hamilton at the same time and he'd still only sound mildly happy
Kimi be like:Bwoah
if his mclaren was more reliable in 2003, he wouldve beat schumacher in the championship

Kimi going straight to his yacht after retiring at the 2006 Monaco GP probably has to be one of my favorite moments from him. 🤣
Easy number 1
Him watching the rest of the race with a beer in hand, and his name appearing on the screen as if he were still in the race. That's awesome! 😂

When he was born, he drove his parents home from the hospital.
No he went to his yatch in monaco and went to the pool along with his friends
HAHAHA!!! LUV IT!!!
He cried for steering wheel when he was born.
He drove his parents to the hospital before his birth.
And he smiled instead of start crying
I am here after his retirement annoucement. Thank you Kimi for all those years you gave us. It was a joy to watch you as a very young kid and it is a privilage to watch you race today. Hope you enjoy your well earned retirement! Thank you, Kimi Sincerely, All fans around the world
He's one of my favourite drivers. No bs with Kimi 🙌
proper life inspiration
He certainly is brilliant when he has his steering wheel...
He is brilliant all the time then 😀
And gloves
STEERING WHEEL.. COME ON.. STEERING WHEEL
“COME ON, MOVE!!!!!”
Lol
"Kimi! You are the President of the World!! You Won the election!" Kimi: Yeah...Thank you..
He'd get my vote
"***** finally"
Kimi : ik what m doing!
Kimi: Steering wheel! Hey!!! Hey!!! Steering wheel!!!...
He is the new Kimi and now speaks little more than phrases, not sentences yet though. So I presume he would respond "yeah, thank you... F****** finally" 😎
That moment at 1:56 when Kimi concedes his victory is probably the cheerfullest I've ever seen him.
He is still fast despite being the oldest and most experienced driver on the grid. The fans love him.
Alonso has the same age as well lol
@@hybridAbsol kimi is over a year older
@@isthatrubble Kimi looks younger
@@hybridAbsol oh for sure
Keyword: experienced
Even with "only" one championship title he is definitely one of the true legends in the sport. There is only one Kimi!
Senna only won 3, where most guys won more, yet Senna is still the greatest. It's all about the impact these guys made in our hearts as true racing fans. Daniel Ricciardo has no title, but still people's favorite. That's how you win racing fans.
"Tietäjät tietää" is a Finnish saying, meaning that the educated people or the inside people if you will, know the truth and the facts. Kimi was a prodigy, his talent and tenacity in the sport is like no other.
Once a champion, always a champion.
One of the greatest. Talented driver and always a gentleman on the track. No pushing and crying to the team like "some" champions. For me he is GOAT
@@goranukic2775 You're right 100%! Kimi is one an' only🚀
“FOR WHAT?!?!” will always be my favourite line for Kimi
*"I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING SO JUST BE QUIET!"*
You will not have the drink
Okay Kimi it's all over, Hamilton seventh. By my calculations we win the championship by one point.
"If he cannot see behind then maybe he should stay in the reporting"
Kimi everybody loves you! Kimi: FOR WHAT?!?!
The 2005 season is by far the craziest season in terms of pure race speed. Kimis pace was unreal and i have never seen something like that ever again. If you wannt to know Kimi then just watch the 2005 season. Every race was a special one thanks to his ridiculous speed
I got my goosebumb when 1. Kimi beat alonso with half second split at Monaco..Which is Alonso is in the fastest car during that time and at his prime.. 2. When his last lap victory from P17..I can see he pushing the limits and beyond the limits..Nobody can beat young Kimi.. Living legend..Leave him alone..He knows what he's doing..
2003-06 I honestly believe Kimi was the fastest driver. The man was an absolute monster in that McLaren.
can still remember he lost the championship when his rear wing disintegrated. what poor mclaren build quality costing the championship
@@fist003 that is an early drs system lol
Agreed. He was pure speed.
Everyone knows Kimi 2003-2006 is unbeatable. That combination of Michelin tyres and McLaren car handling suited him like a glove.
He should have at least 2 more WDC to his name. I take nothing away from MSC or Alonso, but Kimi truly was the greatest at this time.
“Some people maybe think that I’m cool, some that I’m and idiot, that’s fine” -the Iceman
Words to live by
Something similar was said by Schumacher
He'll always be my favourite F1 driver of all time. So fast, so smooth and so calm in any situation. I'll never forget Suzuka 2005. Relieved he won at least one championship in the end.
Peak Kimi (2002-2005), he was an incredible talent. 16 years later and he can still keep pace with Formula One. So glad he got that final win at COTA, it was very well deserved. Any driver would take that career!!!
- "KIMI YOU WIN THE GRAND PRIX!" - "Yeah, Thank you"
He’s probably watching this and he’s like: bwoah that’s me
He is more like “i was there, no need to watch”
@Teodor Alexandrov IMO it has nothing to do with Alfa Romeo themselves. The 3 teams using the Ferrari engine did garbage this season because of the engine penalty for Ferrari. If Ferrari can improve it they have a better chance at fighting in the midfield
@@Mahi-ke7xr there said they have, hopefully it's true so we get more incredible performances from Kimi
Kimi deserved way more championships, thats not enough for such a goat
I remember his days at McLaren and he would have won a couple of Championships with them and beat Ferrari had he not had an unreliable car. He is so underrated, in my opinion one of the best drivers of all time. He will always be in my Top 5 of all time drivers list without a doubt.
Alonso, Vettel later came in, and this man's still Ferrari's last driver's champion.
And Luca Badoer. Can't forget Luca Badoer
Sad but true
Bianchi and Leclerc was much better than fake 4x WDC.
@@bumblebity2902 Lol pathetic fanboy. The only fake person is you. I don't need to give arguments sadly.
@@bumblebity2902 fake 4x champion honestly? how much of an ignorant fanboy can you be please? bianchi never had a chance to show his talent but hating another driver the had chances to win championships with ferrari because of that is another level of stupidity
I feel like that Portugal lap will be talked about much more once he retires
Even now I think he still has the best racecraft on the track.
I remember watching it happen live what a race I was so gazed for him
Fr, hopefuly he will be appreciated like he is rn when he retires
right? i was confused seeing an alfa at the front runners and had to look at the standings to make sure i wasn't seeing things
I think how he held that podium position at Monza 2020 for so many laps in one of the worst cars on the field too is also a pretty big moment imo.
Kimi Raikkonen. You will be sorely missed.
Still can’t belive this is his last season. We are gonna miss you Ice man ❤️ Biggest legend and biggest personality in F1 ever.
KIMI in Portugal first lap: "what are the others doing?"... hahaha
One of many fascinating things that happened in this crazy 2020 season.
F1: So Kimi you got a video about your top 10 moments of brilliance, well done! Kimi: For what? F1: you've made history mate! Kimi: FOR WHAT?!
It’s crazy what he can do when he has his gloves and steering wheel
Goodbye Kimi. Will miss you a lot.
indeed. ):
He will sooner or later do some racing in other races, considering thats what most former racing drivers from Formula One, tend to do. You may retire but you never truly leave world of motorsport till last day of life. Kimi was and always will be one of those drivers who didn't care what media says, he let his talent on the track do the talking.
This guy won a championship 14 years ago and still is in the sport, let that sink in Okay nvm hes retiring/retired
And he scored his first point 20 years ago in his first GP.

'Be Like Kimi' should be a motto we all live by. Absolute legend.
The day he retires will be a hard one for me. Grew up watching him and Alonso. Don’t think there will ever be a personality like him in the sport ever again.
Same for me. I dont see raw speed and talent today that can match raikkonen and alonso in those days, max only, but his racing IQ is too low for these two. Hope they stay few more years
Lewis Hamilton is the king
sime mrkic nicely put
Kimi may have not be the fastest driver, but his skills and technical knowledge is huge, compared other drivers. That's why he is still valuable to any F1 team these days. F1 loses awesome driver and huge personality when kimi end his career.
@@simonkaru7569 That is what I have always been saying and what all the teams he has driven for has said. He is amazing in putting in his own feedback into the setup of the car and is a master of overtaking and tire saving even if he did not have the fastest car on track. That is why I love Kimi and will miss him dearly when he retires!
Everyone forgets that during his drought he was fighting for wins or lost them to bad luck and team orders
And that Ferrari didn't even win a race in 2014 and 2016.

This gives me chills and goosebumps. We will miss you, Kimi!
I haven't watched F1 for over a decade, yet I still remember some of these clips like yesterday. Used to wake up/set schedules with my dad so, that we were able to watch each Grand Prix. WRC and F1 were my childhood & Grönholm, Häkkinen and Räikkönen were my idols.

"Bit of a disaster then for you and some of the others with the yellow flags" "I don't care what happened to the others"
I crashed.

I honestly believe Kimi Raikonnen would have been a much bigger name in F1 history if only he were not plagued with car troubles. The man had an insane amount of talent but also an equal amount of bad luck. Greatest thing about it is that this fact never bothered Kimi. While most drivers would care about fame or winning, Kimi was just trying to have fun.

As a wise man once said: ******* Finally
It seems like a lot of Kimi’s best moments come at the expense of Giancarlo Fisichella
Lol that's what I thought, poor Fisico!
I've no issues with that.
especially Brazil, when Fisico fooled him in the rain, but they incorrectly handed the win to Raikkonen. Spa was a cheating moment too. Suzuka was the only one that deserves a mention here.

I hope kimi does at least 1 season under the new 2022 regulations, just to see where he really stands
I wish F1 used Indycar-style regulations to make the racing better
It's unlikely but would be epic to see him fighting for the championship.
I’m a massive Kimi fan but I have to admit he’s getting pretty old (comparatively). He’s 41, has a family and probably doesn’t have the same motivation to win anymore. On top of that he isn’t in the most competitive cars right now and considers it a hobby unlike basically all of the other drivers.
@@MrRolle-zf6dk he may not have much motivation, but he consistently outperforms his teammate and drives really well for a man of his age. I reckon he's still got like 3/4 years before he retires
@@Fred_the_1996 yeah, Kimi would probably do it as long as he wants to. It’s cool to watch a driver who’s clearly driving just because they like to. It’s obviously not about money or glory for Kimi anymore, he just loves racing.
