Kimi Räikkönen - Imola 2005

[OdrikT800]

screaming v10s...

[DBDMotorsports]

God, Imola is such a great track...

[LadWithAGuitar]

The fastest car seen in Formula One to date? I think so. The MP4/20 was offensively fast!

[lackofcouture]

@dojOdRiFTeR no, I can't say I know that. Schumacher does have the records, but I do know that Schumacher himself has been quoted as saying senna is the best, as well as a lot of other racing drivers, so that could mean something. And who brought fangio into this lol don't insult him

[JF1J]

I loved that McLaren!



[MrBrandonRTR]

video would be better if you could hear the roaring V10 instead of that loud-mouth commentator the entire time. kimi FTW!!!

[cachalou1982]

I miss this track...

[marko1602987]

This car looked spectacular every time it went on track.

[Hedgehog2k]

McLaren mp4-20 - the most beautiful F1 car!

[TheQneb]

2005 cars are so cool

[DRF71N]

I wish they'd put Imola back on the calendar and get rid of the Valencian, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Chinese Gp's where there is no overtaking, no risks and nobody ever shows up.

[AkatsukiRei]

Had Mclaren hired kimi in 2010 they would have had the title.

[DaNyPoNs8]

The Formula-1 are three factors, First Reliability, Second Speed, Third Tactic, and if you dont have one of the three things, you never win, Alonso have the three factors, and its very good pilot best than Kimi Raikkonen. ¡Alonso is one of the best in the history!

[klmyul]

@DaNyPoNs8 you sucks stupid spaniard

[Henkkaaa89]

F1 is not indeed the same nowadays as it was back then. I so miss those days.

[Zobzon69]

Näin ne autot kuuluukin kiljua

[F1FAN3D]

You're right. This car does look so much better than from 2009 until the present. I hate those "shark-style" pieces they have from the engine air inlet back to the rear wing.

The smaller front tires look wrong even though there is not such a big difference from last year.

Raikkonen does have a different personality which the sport needs right now for sure!

[101NYMetsFan]

I miss Imola

[xXxReplicatexXx]

that car looks so much better then all the new ones.

[VuDu4000]

This were the times when F1 cars were super fast. Today they just get slower and slower for every year that goes. I remember back in 2002 or something like that when you saw the rev meter go up to 17-18000RPM and you were just "WOW". Then 2003 they went to 19000RPM and 2004 like 20000RPM. But fuck, since then it's only gone down, if it hadn't we'd been at 25000RPM now haha. F1 needs to be fast again with V10 engines, maybe V12 again.

[DBDMotorsports]

0:13 - the turn that killed Senna

[Salpeteroxid]

Thumps up if you love the sound of the 3.0l V10

[Johnzy199]

damn thats a sexy car!

[qdsly1]

@Johnzy199 man that car looks fukin awesome as fuk !!

[lucian1kimiraikkonen]

Without any reliability problems, that year would have seen a total domination by him. So many problems and yet he stayed so close in the championship!

[denJS]

i think in 2005 kimi was the fastest ever in his carreer, of course he was always very fast and he won title in 2007 and afters schumacher's retirement he was surely the best F1 driver, but i think in 2005 he had car that really suit to him, in that 2005 McLaren, it really was untouchable driver...it is my most favourite car, it was fast, beautyfull...but faulty..

[HeyMarkedOne8]

@denJS Looks like a beast in MP4-20,no?

[Ferrariman601]

I have had DREAMS with this car in them!

Anyway, I usually hate it when there's commentary in these kinds of videos, but I think Finnish sounds really cool against F1 engines...

[minonkracer]

I miss F1 at Imola

[darwinism14]

@minonkracer

I hope that even Hungaroring and Montecarlo are banned as circuits. So far, only Imola. There were no overtaking manouver in so many times I've seen the Imola Grand Prix.

[godanselmo]

The old v10 engines make todays F1 cars look like snails.

[v6turboman182]

pffffff trop fort ce pilote !!! vive ICEMAN !!!

[4iliPalmer]

Ferrari or DTM no matter,Kimi+ *silver arrows* forever for me. And stil V10 inside this mp4-20. Love it .

[siara005]

we miss u

[suprajames1]

great racing from the iceman

[Lilliz91]

Hyvä tos alussa, ku sanottiin et suomalaiset on aina suosittuja, mut on se aika lailla totta.

[TuplaO]

nice track and WHAT AND AWESOME SOUND from V10... bring em back plz

[scarletchoose]

Kimi on the limit ... great times

[sonjaxfactor]

This man is a born race car driver. i love him. i started following F1 cause of him.

[gooseneck12]

cool as f keep on youtube

[frikidealonso]

is not this v8?

[Sekhurity]

english pls?

[AndZzo101]

this car and this driver are the real champions of 2005!

[CrankAC]

@AndZzo101 absolutely right!

[peter86346]

V10 the best

[Naganiet200]

I miss the v10s !!!!!

[nowheelspin]

this is a good track fia just dumped it to bad!

[UltimateWheelman]

This was not a good track. It was boring. It needs the old Tamburello and a continous straight from Rivazza 2 to Tamburello to be a great track again.

[akmnh1]

any kimi fans on twitter please join me the name is raikkonenfans

[animeonperseest]

the difference is faaaaar from huge. less than a second maybe less than .5 seconds

[jort999]

in this days 0.5 seconds is a big difference

[animeonperseest]

yes, but not that much that it would be visible to the naked eye as the original poster said

[emperatore1]

beautiful car, Mclaren MP4-20.

[samyom73]

Kimi's 2005 season = 7 wins like Alonso BUT

Australia => he stalled on the grid(FA 3rd)

Imola => driveshaft failure.He was 1st(FA 1st)

Europe => suspension failure on the last lap.He was 1st

(FA 1st)

Germany => hydraulic failure.He was 1st(FA 1st)

You can add the 10 places in France,GB,Italy and Japan

At the end Kimi just 21 points behind Alonso.Kimi deserved to win at least 10 races and the championship but he didn't because of his car' bad reliability

[veyronzondaf]

Absolutely!

Kimi should have won 03 & 05 world championship!

[pornisgood1984]

F1 couldn't let their poster child and favorite driver Schumacher have a temper tantrum and not let him have what he wanted a championship.

[HeyMarkedOne8]

@veyronzondaf And obviously 2008, reasons:Austalia:Stupid mistake but he could even win the race!(at least 6 points) Hamilton crash in his back Canada(+2 points for Kimi compaing to Hamilton);Spa: Hamilton ruined Kimi's leading by cutting the Bus Stop chicane(+8 for Kimi). 6+2+8=16 - Kimi wins the tittle! I didn't listed points in China for keeping Massa's tittle hopes...etc.

[Pirkinmaa]

@samyom73

Don't forget the tyre failure in Malaysia that dropped him out of points

[McLarenMercedes]

@samyom73

Statistics from the 2005 season. Las led: Raikkonen 375, Alonso 336. Last time a driver was champion without having led the most laps in a season was 1989 when Prost was champion despite Senna leading more laps. Of course Prost sat in the same car and took Senna out in Suzuka.

Raikkonen's win from 17'th in Suzuka was worthy of the title alone.

[MerrasMies]

@samyom73 so... he should have now more points than michael had on 2004?

[samyom73]

@MerrasMies Well we can imagine that he should have finished 4th in Australia, 5th in Sepang and won at Imola, Europe, Germany. 152 points out of 190. Michael did 148 out of 180 in 2004

[MclarenGooner10]

@samyom73 Totally agree with you on that i dont think Alonso deserved the 05 title at all,Kimi was surely had the fastest car that season but was heavily compromised because of poor reliablity,one person to blame is Adrian Newey

[samyom73]

@MclarenGooner10 I think that Alonso deserved it because he was fast, and his car had the best reliability, whereas Kimi was by miles more impressive (just remember Japan^^) But to finish first, first you have to finish. Lack of luck cost also 3rd place to Montoya and Fisichella, even if they seemed quite nervous sometimes. But how the hell with such fast cars they finished behind the worst Ferrari F1 for years???

[rs122rs]

@samyom73 Well McLaren was made of paper back then , I'm an Alonso fan but I loved kimi as much as Fernando

[DaNyPoNs8]

@samyom73

The Formula-1 are three factors, First Reliability, Second Speed, Third Tactic, and if you dont have one of the three things, you never win, Alonso have the three factors, and its very good pilot best than Kimi Raikkonen. ¡Alonso is one of the best in the history!

[PurpleSteelman]

@DaNyPoNs8 Alonso hasnt got tactics, remember abu dhabi 2010? :D

[ErosaScuderia]

Lmao.

[dojOdRiFTeR]

@samyom73 u don't win championships by whiningu win it by consistency and pace and alonso paced himself to win raikkonen over did it but he won it in 2007 the better (sensible) driver won

[LePutaMadre]

@dojOdRiFTeR Hahaha that's how Spanish people were manipulated to think, right? Kimi over-did it?? As listed above Kimi was always on top but his car failed him about ten times, enough said, Alonso cruised to championship. In my mind Kimi is the real 2003 & 2005 champ and nothing will change that.

[adri005u2]

@samyom73

totally agree kimi is one of the greatest driver ever

[dojOdRiFTeR]

@samyom73 raikonen isn't bette rthan kimi he's to lazy and never was a gd test driver to deveklop cars alonso senna and schumacher r in a different league

[Zscheesus]

@dojOdRiFTeR

You contradict yourself.With many punctuations and...what the hell,just being stupid.

[lackofcouture]

@dojOdRiFTeR alonso is NOWHERE near the same league as senna, let alone schumacher. the only drivers comparable to senna were the ones right there with him driving with a manual gearbox. to todays standards alonso and raikkonen have tons of skill, but any real F1 fan would tell you that the most skill was involved prior to paddle shifter gearboxes. aside from all that, raikkonen will always be my favorite driver. and alonso better hurry and win a championship for maranello before they fire him

[dojOdRiFTeR]

@lackofcouture senna isn;t even in the same as kimi or alonso or schumacher that overrated fucker is overrated cause he died period senna 41 wins to 65 poles sounds to be he just a glorfied single lapper and u dam well know its the truth schumacher is the greatest f1 driver fangio oph plzz the fatty can't even fit in the cars today

[Darkfallsification]

@dojOdRiFTeR During Senna's first year of F1 many people said that he was going to be one of the all time greats. They were right. Even before his untimely death drivers, mechanics and spectators alike all thought that he was the best. Have some respect you uneducated prick.

[dojOdRiFTeR]

@Darkfallsification no i respect senna death as in it was bad but no i don;t respect senna other than what happen at imole 1994 senna did wprst things than schumi and schumacher dam well deserves the respect if schumacher had died he wud be the most respected f1 driver period senna nut huggers need to realise that stats mean everything and schumi's stats blows sennas away by a mile

[pascalAMG]

i love kimis helmet

[ChrisWhyte1987]

yeh I think its the best he has had in his Career. the Black ones are not my fav. But rumours have he is on his way back to Mclaren for one last year in f1 cause Ferrari want Massa and Alonso

[klmyul]

This Mclaren was sooo fast, it was the best car of 2005, but the reliability was really bad unfortunately!

[quasiphatpaul]

I'm not a huge schumy fan but I'm no hater. I love when people say that schumy had no competition and so doesnt compare to senna. But kimi definitely has had some great duels with schumy. Some of my favorite in recent memory actually. (recent memory equaling the last 20 years or so)

[superrdirk]

This was the best looking mclaren

[Desdirodeabike]

People who say old Kimi was good - new Kimi is asleep dont know what the fuck they are talking about.

The understeery cars of Ferrari just kills Kimis natural speed. But in spite of that he became champion. And he set 10 fastest laps last year once the tires finally worked.

So far this year he has outqualified his teammate and scored two podiums with basically a dog of a car.

[tommetallicarock]

no, if he is such a good driver he should be able to adapt to the car (or develop it to his preference). massa beat him 08 and was in 09 no excuses

[ChrisWhyte1987]

Agreed. Kimi drives using the rear of the car, but the understeer just kills his chance of doing that. Alonso drives with understeer.

[Fuckdencio]

the cold pole from the iceman...

[J1Z06]

This was the Kimi I knew and miss dearly. The man is dead asleep of late.

[CaboArmorKing]

Kimi is the fastest driver in the field. Alonso is the best overall, but when it comes to pure speed, Kimi is #1. He should have been a 3-time World Champion, but bad luck ruined that.

[kuyt20]

Yeah, i know what you mean....

The "Iceman"-Kimi from the V10 days was so much better than the present "Rusty"-Kimi.....

[Pirkinmaa]

I think the biggest factor making Kimi worse nowadays - despite he has won 1 champ with them - are the Bridgestone tyres. Kimi always seemed to be one with the car on Michelins imo.

[Rosvolainen]

Yes, that and I think Ferrari has always developped the car in a bit of another direction than McLaren too. Since Massa got his big break in Ferrari and was basicly taught to drive by Schumacher that suits him better. He's been driving Ferrari long before 2006 after all. Still Kimi should beat Massa and I'm sure he will this year even though it might not mean that much.

[presidentevil4]

i miss kimi from those time. :(

[shimate]

I love this commentator

[MerrasMies]

that Mercedes sounds nice

[akula444]

That thing is on rails! The MP4-20, what a monster, pity about it's hydraulic issues, or Kimi would have danced away with the title. Go McLaren!

[muddwell]

always thought kimi showed his true speed in that beast.

[novitec360]

my days! they seem so damn fast compared to this season, at 0.09 thaths insane!

[jixx69]

the cars aren't as high pitched now

[chipattack911]

because that car is running with a v10 engine. for the 2006 season and onward only v8s are allowed. v10 sounds a lot better.

[iquales]

for me 2005 champion is kimi..

he was the victim of stupid one tyre rule in 2005 season..

[Lumi7979]

PS: And yes I do also love the European circuits, it bums me out that they are neglected lately. I have nothing against Shanghai or Albert Park, for instance, I love every track on the globe. Just hope F1 returns to its cradle, Europe, soon enough...

[Lumi7979]

The MP4-20 was an awesome piece of engineering, a masterpiece. It was the fastest car on the grid, albeit with a host of reliability glitches. Still, it was the one that should have brought Kimi his first title, but just like in 2003, McLaren messed things up for the Iceman... Me, I regard Kimi as the best driver on the planet and I do count 2003 and 2005 as being championship seasons for him as he deserved it so much more than Michael, not to mention Fernando...

[tonybek1]

they had a super car in 2005 the maclaren was the best even though i am a ferrari fan

raikkonen should have won the champion ship

not that piece of shit alonso

[gestapo81]

fastest car...yes,but allot of reliability problems.especially in Nurburgring and Hockenheim.

[jraybay]

that's why alonso won 2005. Because of reliability. shumacher retired 5 races I think and as you mentioned raikkonen should have won but he crashes and had a few failures. something alonso didn't

[Streitstarter]

2006 the same ...to many unhappy accidents or retirements for schumacher

[yamamato44]

Which corner is Tamburrello?

[tommetallicarock]

tamburello chicane at 0.11. used to be flat out curve before senna was killed there

[yamamato44]

thanks, I knew it used to be a single curve, its just hard to tell where it used to be when its not onboard.

[beyblader10171]

that onboard view from kimi ( looking at his helmet ) is annoying

[Hadidi89]

what do u mean especially coming out of villeneuve ? in ur description

[CTUfinland]

Turn six in Imola is named Villeneuve.

[bkent95]

turn 6 is actually the Tosa Hairpin, which is at 0:27-0:29. Villeneuve is the second chicane (turns 4 and 5), which is at 0:20-0:23

[FooFighterBiffyClyro]

Is the commentary in Suomi / Finnish?

[MerrasMies]

yes

[bazil83]

Kimi actually made that car look fast! Montoya didn't look anywhere near as quick behind the wheel... Kimi just looked ridiculously rapid in that thing!

GO KIMI!!!

[max12009]

nooo, you noob

[bazil83]

Truth hurts init bruvski

[LilWeezy00]

that car was beautiful!

[WhyYouLOL]

is that faster than button's pole in 2004?

[erniethefart]

almost, button's lap was 1'19.753 and this lap from raikkonen is 1'19.886.

[veyronzondaf]

Kimi @ his best in the V10 McLaren!

[totkristof]

very well kimi:D

[hottywannaride]

talk about haulin' ass...holy shit

[MistaF1]

hahaha, i know right? i thought it was in fast foward or something :l

[jraybay]

what a bumpy ass ride...but fast ! :D

[BackmaniaC]

You are so right Michaelingolfhansen. This version of Imola really sucks, noone will miss this track. The old Imola rules, please bring back tamburello curve...

[Anime998877]

The old imola was dangerous, that's why they changed it.

[simok97]

Mukavaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[fleder0maus]

bring back imola! what a great track

[Michaelingolfhansen]

Yep...bring back the OLD Imola!!!

THIS version sucks!

...nothing but short straights and slow chicanes all the way!

Destroying the track was not the right way to honour Senna.

[BackmaniaC]

Kimi moving to Ferrari was a smart move. He has never enjoyed F1 as much as he does today. Now he can do what he wants in his free time. 2nd championship this year to our flying Finn!!

[evofreak1304]

damn those v10's screamed so hard the last season ! i wonder how the would sound these days ! v10 plz come back *prays to the gods*

[carpediem111111]

Weiß jemand, ob der Bonus Code FUNFLOP auch in anderen Pokerrooms als bei 888 com/Bonus verwendet werden kann? Ich habe nämlich gelesen, dass 888 com/Bonus diesen spitzenmäßigen Bonus nicht mehr all zu lange hergeben wird und 888$ haben oder nicht haben ist doch ein großer Unterschied!

[AntGru123]

Yeah, i agree with you AleXcr86 SanMarino is a great track and raikkonen is my number 1.

[AleXcr86]

Imola is such an awesome circuit. Bring it back damnit!

[kanov]

He should've stayed at McLaren...But i understand his frustration and moving to Ferrari seems to be a better move. But Ferrari is a dirty environment and i don't think Kimi is really suited there. Jerks like Massa would have a good time at Ferrari.

[92NB]

Yea but you know what happened to fernando last year, would have happened to kimi if he would have stayed at mclaren, the team spirit sucks there, kimi is happier and he enjoys what hes doing more than ever at ferrari, thats what he has said to finnish commentators.
