Kobayashi vs Raikkonen fight

[Arai4lpinestars]

KOB

FASTEST on Circuit de Catalunya day 2 testing!

[TheEvanovitch]

i love how kobayashi just doesnt care who you are or what car youre in, if you want his position, you fight for it to get it, no other way :)

[killuminatii1]

dogfight on the ground

[lukewill783]

fia need to watch this and learn that DRS overtaking isnt as spectacular as a pure fight on track.

[AndreLuizSOliveira]

FAIL

[MaNiAcOwNeR]

@TheQneb i know its like that in a regular car, but f1 cars in the 80s had a turbo button that acted in a similar way to kers does in todays f1 ie: more speed.. i know its not the same thing but its similar so called 'easy passing', sorry, should have explained slightly more :P

[nickJod1234]

This was the year when real overtakes happened. Not like now. But then I said the same thing in 2009, and 2007, and I could go on, I could complain about how shit modern F1 is, but there is a reason why I and lots of us are here on this video, - because we still enjoy it, and we will realize how good these years of f1 are in the future.

[Arai4lpinestars]

Kobayashi's best friend is back!

Petrov replacing Trulli for 2012

[Themayseffect]

kobayashi really knows how to drive and handle through the corners, but he just isn't blessed with a faster car. and i think that is what keeps him in the position he is in.

[stonelizard321]

stuck behind Kobayashi, somewhre u really dont wanna be lol

[1Moregano1]

A 2009 Ferrari going faster than another car? WTF

[konextado]

Raikkonen, Kobayashi is faster than you !!

[Tracer2k]

LOVE the engine sound

[YoshiBowser99]

Toyota and Honda were the best... =(

[MrFredy536]

Kimi is King :)

[mattie701]

what a dumb pointless chicane.

[toonervous]

Where's the finger Kimi? With finger messaging you can actually stay at Ferrari and be liked.

[MetlHead37]

thats awesome racing, why cant these idiots race like this in F1 2011 online gaming?... shits me to tears

[zxcv1234vcxz]

This is another example of what makes Kobayashi such fun to watch. Not only is he aggressive and willing to pass where others won't, but he's also a gentleman on the track. He doesn't run other drivers off the road (his passes at Suzuka, his pass of Alonso in Brazil, etc.). And against Raikkonen in this video, KK gives RK enough room to get by in every corner and straight - even when he doesn't have to.

It makes you wish more drivers behaved the same way.

[lukeharpus]

@zxcv1234vcx I agree

If there was 24 Kamui Kobayashi in F1 the stewards wouldnt need to continue their job

[Arai4lpinestars]

With the departure of Petrov from the grid, which of these chaps will be Kobayashi's new buddy/buddies in the paddock/on driver's parade truck? Perez prefers to be around the Spanish speaking hombres and you know it.

A: Di Resta

B: Grosjean

C: Hulkenberg

D: All of the above :)

[SmokerFace12]

Crazy kamui

[nitroboost8765]

Kobayashi is a fantastic driver, can't wait until he has a genuinely competitive car.

[Spatial03]

Kobayashi the best !

[Gundam1408]

if  u see in the video that is not kobayashi.kobayashi is bmw sauber ferrari not toyota

[EntFunny]

@Gundam1408

this was back in 2009

[BenMS23]

@Gundam1408 Kobayashi debuted at the end of 2009 for Toyota as a replacement for the injured Timo Glock

[xxJSGC123xx]

LOVE Kobayashi, so much respect for him. Doesn't take any crap from ANYONE, screw revered names lol.

[NottinghamForest22]

Kobayashi is awesome.

[WakateruYO]

Kobayashi's braking ability is one of the best.

[chanyiwei]

DRS is shit...like kimi said...1 button thing~~!! Main issues are the tyers!!!

[fidan2fast]

nice blocking

[47ambrose42jpm]

I didnt know you could pass at Dubai...

[Nesto885]

@47ambrose42jpm Abu Dhabi

[Arai4lpinestars]

Hey bigraikkonenfan5

you will be very busy next 2012 season :)

[xxRubens11xx]

Lol Toyota looks like a Red Bull or Mclaren

[Deano185]

great video really hoping kimi comes back to F1 where he belongs shame about the dropout when kimi dived to the inside at the start but top vid shame its not a bit longer :)

[raikkonenowns1]

@Deano185 renault next year confirmed

[ssj5devilhunter666]

i wish toyota would come back!!

[IncognitoFloyd]

kOBAYASHI > Raikkonen

[xXLEW1Sx]

kobayashi will be a world champion one day !

[Chriz7164]

You can tell that passing was way harder back then!

[DarthSparhawk]

Overtaking was way too hard... I like the DRS...

[eduardobag]

Fuck you DRS.

[Euclides287]

Kobayashi owns Kimi!

[Abuddappaa]

@Euclides287 no he didnt

[lukeyyyy08]

We miss you kimi

[jakubkrcma]

Kimi made a mistake at 0:03, should have gone for the inside (left). And again at 0:18 (although there initially was no room on the left). It was obvious that the Toyota's straightline speed was too high - no passing possible from the outside. Still, if this was a Hamilton video, we'd see a "nice" crash and "someone" getting sad he disappointed the team... :-) EXCELLENT GENTLEMAN DRIVING FROM MR. KIMI RAIKKONEN!!! Being a good guy was his weakest point. But he gets my total respect for that!

[twennyten]

great car control by both at 00:31

[btypirate]

You can see how much faster the Ferrari was there. But getting stuck behind slow ones is part of Formula 1...

[nickJod1234]

I wonder if Toyota had stayed, but with Kobayashi, that they could've had a chance at winning something.

[gnarkillkicksass]

My two favorites - YES! We can like both!

[krazykukurov]

lol at all the ferrari fans saying how bad the ferrari was... pretty sure koba would be happy to swap cars with kimi and see how things go

[Mcquiz91]

@krazykukurov Well it really was terrible. It was about as slow as Toyota.

[FPSyorkshire]

those were the years when passing was actually real

[GalaxyPowerTy]

Even though Ferrari car was bad , Kimi should overtake. There were many chances.

KOB>RAI

[nagasako7]

That was the year(s) before fake passing.

[ynnckynnck]

@nagasako7 with 1 pass in 2 races

[Phoenix1664]

@nagasako7 more like the years when overtaking was banned

[kimi450]

@nagasako7 KERS was there in 2009

[nagasako7]

@kimi450 Both could save up KERS and use them. If DRS was allowed on all straights during the race then DRS wouldn't be fake racing. Used whenever the driver was able.

Then F1 would be useful as it would be testing DRS opening and closing every few seconds for 70 laps.

[kimi450]

@nagasako7 OK

[alvarokas]

@nagasako7 that's true, like in qualifying, where you can use kers or drs as long as you wish/can

[f1fan84]

@nagasako7 fake passing???

[BloodMagex]

@f1fan84 DRS...

[f1fan84]

@BloodMagex naah man,, DRS is not fake passing is an advantage to produce fights on track between drivers..

fake passing was barrichello and schumi back in 2002 autrian GP,

or the US GP that same year,same drivers...or even just a few weeks ago vettel an webber at the brazilian gp buddy..

[BloodMagex]

@f1fan84 Yea, kinda stopped reading after "produce fights." Good talk.

[f1fan84]

@BloodMagex made my point..good talk

[iLovewardrobes]

@nagasako7 The ferrari had KERS.........

[chanyiwei]

@iLovewardrobes have you watched 2009? Ferrari has the worst car ever on that year~~

[cn009]

@nagasako7 From memory, the Toyota didn't have a KERS unit that year

[Andy13231]

@nagasako7 not really, the drs still requires the driver to get up close to the one in front within a second plus the other driver can defend with kers, i will admit though that there were a couple of tracks where drs took the piss

[garethkielty]

@nagasako7 ...raikkonen had kers this year as well

[atomicR4GER]

@nagasako7 I blame the xbox generation for getting bored with there being no overtaking. They changed the look of the cars from true beautiful looking cars to todays ugly looking things and then when that doesn't work well enough they had push to pass button 1 and push to pass button 2.

Take me back to the "boring" 2007's and 2008's with proper looking F1 cars please

[TheQneb]

@atomicR4GER Passing buttons are ridiclouse, even a slow dumb fuck will overtake with them.. I dont see how it makes drivers have a skill fight when other 1 has huge advantage

[MaNiAcOwNeR]

@TheQneb You realise back in the 80's when everything was apparently amazing in F1 and it was real skill and everyone overtook, that there was turbo buttons that basically did what KERS does now?

[TheQneb]

@MaNiAcOwNeR Turbo isnt actviated by a button. Its "allways on", you can just choose what RPM it stars on.. Got one.. What same there is in turbo and kers? basicly? No theres nothing same if you have turbo-engine or kers in your car?

[MaNiAcOwNeR]

@nagasako7 People complained of no overtaking before DRS/KERS was introduced, now they complain there is too much and its too easy.

Surely if DRS or KERS is fake passing then the turbo boost over takes were fake too? and that's the era everyone wants back in terms of action...

[MrCrypher]

Kimi we want you back!!

[jeanclaude780]

The Ferrari was so crap at this race =( poor Kimi...

[LiamStroudy09]

@jeanclaude780 Ferrari were crap for that whole year.. Was the most testing time to be a Ferrari fan.

[nitroboost8765]

@jeanclaude780 No, Kimi drove well, but Kobayashi just outsmarted the Finn on this occasion...Appreciate the novice's phenomenal defending instead of making it look like it was all the car's fault.

[MiG31Foxhound]

A part where Kobayashi flips him off at 0:06 is censored

[xMatt16]

KOBI > KIMI.

[Balnazzardi]

Abu Dabhi is such a shitty track....almost as bad as Valencia....such tracks should be kicked out of F1 as soon as possible

[poddesetnikG]

kobayashi can suck it

[nitroboost8765]

@poddesetnikG LOL you fag

[GIGAJayB]

i miss the times without DRS

[TheSquidge1000]

basically, don't try and overtake him

[championjeep]

I would love to see Kobayashi in a better car. He is a really good driver.

[gt5profan]

kobayashi will go either on mercendes on sumacher place or in redbull on webber place

[BrotherYounis]

great battle, its a shame we have the drs which ruins the art of defending.

[TheJuli0610]

Kobayashi Driving not for Toyota :D

[TechnoBassUp]

sooo hiiighh buddy !

[govedar4o]

The Toyota car in 2009 was a fast one.. too bad that they retired from f1

[Lemus225]

I think Kobayashi is better than Sato

[Arai4lpinestars]

@Lemus225 you don't have to think, it's a fact.

[offitcock]

@Lemus225 what drugs are you smoking sato is an absolute legend and he used to do it all in a super aguri!

[MrDamagnet]

SHIT RÄIKKÖNEN SHOULD HAV WON >:(

[saltlabcreative]

with today's DRS, kobayashi would've lost the place to kimi.

[Xs2FunNet]

this is like deja vu when alonso was stuck behind petrov

[NOTHlNG]

Great defending!

[kimiloumar]

kobayahsi in ferrari nxt season...ehehehe

[GazerS1]

la staccata di Kobayashi è qualcosa di spettacolare...a suzuka nel 2010 ha fatto dei sorpassi bellissimi e con un alto coefficente di difficoltà, great driver!!!

[Lukas07Official]

0:18 ;)

[JontieDesario]

that ferrari looked a right hand full!

[nagasako7]

Needs... more... Guile Theme....

[iTitanium]

0.26 Damn, Give this man a car that can win!

[GotBallzzzz]

kobayashi is the only japenese driver ive seen that can turn whithout crashing into somthing

[watmotjekut]

Kobayashi is one of the best beginners in the F1 I've ever seen

[JohnMcWaleF1]

We can easily imagine Kamui Kobayashi in the Red Bull...

[Nickomfacc]

I want to see Kamui Kobayashi and Segio Perez in top teams, I think sauber have one of the best driver line ups in the sport!

[Arai4lpinestars]

@Nickomfacc just Kobayashi, arigato

[sortitup]

thats the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

[brianm00re]

kids got balls

[cypresspuz]

Kobayashi deserves a better machine hed absolutely win, im so sure.

[9karimot]

Great Video!

[MrWill502]

abu dhabi is a hard curcuit

[heywood360]

wow kobayashi is actually really good if only he had a faster car



[RR1Joel]

I miss Toyota.

[Arai4lpinestars]

Kamui is HOMELESS!

Any biggest European fan of him should make him a tenant.

[letsdigin]

u the mannnnnnnnnn

[F35JSFA1]

I love Kobayashi!

[Arai4lpinestars]

KOB

P5 Monaco GP 2011!

[AccordGTR]

Kobayashi is the best Asian F1 driver I have seen yet. We need to see more Asians in F1!

[ZeropointGaming]

Nice Car Control by Kimi at 0:32

[43skillz]

Please come back Toyota. We miss you. :(

[MLukasMP]

I miss the Toyota car

[Nookie0712]

i think when everybody have the same car, everybody can win races

[dragosh01x]

Kimi's last race :(

[pauligdork]

I miss Kimi...

[ba20055]

@pauligdork who doesnt ??!!!

[jraybay]

I liked the part when Raikkonen left formula 1 lol . jk.

[karatepirus]

Kamui!!

[kkurzeid]

Next season Mclaren should get rid of Jenson Button......the guy is just so shit..........

[MultiJimmyHenry]

@kkurzeid Could be worse, Michael Schumacher is by far the worst driver in F1 at the moment.

[Kenney1993]

@MultiJimmyHenry Are you kidding me? He's not good anymore, no. But Maldonado and Karthikeyan are worse :p But indeed, the others all are racing better at the moment.

[kkurzeid]

@MultiJimmyHenry Micheal is only getting used to the new F1 Cars its not like the ones he drove back in 2006

[IceCoolG4mes]

@kkurzeid Micheal schumi admitted himself in short words "i suck now"

[kkurzeid]

@IceCoolG4mes he sucks now.......he couldve said it shorter im crap then again if micheal wasnt in mercedes wouldnt kobayashi have gone to mercedes?

[nickJod1234]

Kamui, how about I swap my need for speed: shift for your girlfriend... and your car.

[Arai4lpinestars]

Kamui has a girlfriend now! (Yu Abiru)

He brought her to Malaysia, she has big eyes *_*

[MegaSparky555]

As Kobayashi proved last year at Suzuka, he has no fear. Martin Brundle has given him a fabulous nickname-Kobabashi. Genius. He is a brilliant driver, just like Kubica, those two would make a great pair.

[rodentcafeteria]

That Kobayashi is a bad mother... (Shut yo mouf)!!

[Allrounder182nd]

Kobayashi defended his position very well against Kimi. He is (maybe) the bigges talent in Formula 1 these days. He has a great future!

[Arai4lpinestars]

I hope Kobayashi will have a podium finish or even a win this 2011 season to cheer up his countrymen a little after the devastating earthquake/tsunami.

[abm89]

It's not the KERS button, it's the KIMI button

[Miggeex]

they should take the chicane before the first long straigth away. It's impossible to get enough close at the hairpin becouse of the chicane

[MAQUENRROU]

este circuito es una mierda total

[gp4nut]

Great racecraft from Kobayashi pushing Kimi towards the outside. So many young guns don't have the racecraft anymore. Kobayashi does!

[Arai4lpinestars]

Raikkonen definitely ran out of "SISU"

[magikrkic]

kobayashi's rules

[sesselfurzer2000]

Kobayashi is a very competitive driver. Give him a competitive car and he'll win races.

[theruley]

@sesselfurzer2000 agree 100%

[jbjetairways]

@sesselfurzer2000 Kobayashi for Ferrari :)

[Tayvk]

@sesselfurzer2000 Give compettitive car to 80% of F1 drivers , they also will win races

[sesselfurzer2000]

@Tayvk not really you see raikkonen struggling to overtake kobayashi, raikkonen won the championship that year and had a competitive car, kobayashi didn't..

[Tayvk]

@sesselfurzer2000 WHAT ? You think Raikkonen had a compettitive car in 2009 ??? That car was a peace of shit dude !! You need to be more careful with what you are saying ... Because also have to notice that Toyota was able to do some pole positions that year ... And Ferrari was struggling to get in Q3

[sesselfurzer2000]

@Tayvk sorry I confounded 2009 with 2007. Of course they didn't have a competitive car in 2009 but if you see Raikkönen driving in Formula 1 for ages and then a young kobayashi comes kicking kimi's ass then you know that kobayashi has talent. And look what kobayashi did to jenson button at interlagos in 2009... don't tell me that button wasn't in a competitive car but kobayashi held button back for laps.. then look at his overtakings at japanese gp in 2010... you know what I mean?

[Tayvk]

@sesselfurzer2000 No problems... But anyway of course I know that Kobayashi is a great driver ... He will be able to win races in future , and maybe with Sauber who knows ! But what I mean they are also some good drivers in F1 , who deserves something more...

[sesselfurzer2000]

@Tayvk yeah I didn't deny that but it sounded like kobayashi isn't any better than a liuzzi or someone but he definitely is imho.

[InospeakAussie]

@Tayvk The Ferrari that year was bad but still much better then the Toyota, the Toyota started the season as a top team and went slowly down the grid every race by the end they where midfeild at best, Ferrari came closer to the front of the field as the teams with KERS perfected the machinery.

[Tayvk]

@InospeakAussie It was varying during all the year but at the end they were at the same level ! On my opinion.. :P

[scoot24925]

@Tayvk Your talking complete crap,Ferrari was like 10x better than toyota that year,Toyota failed,ferrari crying pussies were in 3rd place in WC and say "we were shit that season" Kobayashi is a real driver,a real fighter Massa need to move on and give Kobi's his place,he will win and show Vettel;s the way.

[Tayvk]

@scoot24925 Bullshit...Ferrari won only one fucking race in Spa just because Kimi is really fast there...Other races they were out of first 10... Kobayashi is a good driver , but he is able to do good in single races , he will probably win , but not consistantly like vettel or button ...

[InospeakAussie]

@Tayvk hes being really consistent this year.

[Tayvk]

@InospeakAussie of course , but we are talking about P7-10 , not consistant P1-P2

[InospeakAussie]

@Tayvk How the hell is he going to do that in a Sauber?

He needs a top car for top positions, its just fact F1 isn't a spec series.

[Tayvk]

@InospeakAussie I dont mean that he has to win with Sauber !!! I mean its different to arrive consistantly on P7-10 , and P1-2 , even though with a better car , just because the fight there is at the different level...

[InospeakAussie]

@Tayvk look at button when he started f1 especially 2001, then you will relise this guy is WDC material.
