Kimi Raikkonen onboard Qualifying Spa 2005

[2uneek]

anyone else called spa the "uzi" track when they were young?

[partikelsmusic]

with the old BusStop Chicane, great ride Kimi. wonderful v10s sound. :)

[lsbgamer]

King Of Spa!

[JontieDesario]

car looks so solid, absolutely planted to the track

[maxg4sr]

I love V10 engine sound...What the fuck V8...

[Rosvolainen]

Pretty sure the heavier cars won't be a problem for Kimi as he drove so many fantastic qualifying laps in 2005 with a full tank and beat his competitiors carrying lighter fuel loads.

[maxg4sr]

VERY FAST!!!

[federaikkonerer]

Mercedes-Benz FO 110R 90° V10

[Jozsusz]

oh My, this is just awesome, what an epic car!

[antibarca1905]

more exciting with 1 Q session

[Tayvk]

Could you please tell me who won that race and who did the pole ? Cheers

[pureguy1]

@Tayvk , i think it was montoya who got pole. Raikkonen won the race and set the fastest lap.

[JF1J]

BRING BACK THE DAMN V10!

[lemasito1]

GOD DAMN !!!! WHAT A SOUND !!!

[maman7178]

senna 1991 : 1 .47 .811 raikkonen 2005 : 1.46.440 for the same track , not modification on 14 years

[MetaKnightsKirby]

@maman7178 The Bus Stop was a little different back then, im pretty sure.

Also, this was done wth ALOT of fuel onboard and on the grooved tires, which stripped several seconds of pace from the cars.

[vitorgt5]

good exit of eau rouge

[arturcraft2]

Schumacher lap on this qualifying session is better than this one. Kimi just had much better car in 2005.

[Sp33d1devil1]

What a driver

What a sound

What a car

What a circuit

___________=

Just Awesome!

[szczerbaniuk18]

@Sp33d1devil1 + What a lap !

[LewisHamilton4Life]

insane speeds

[jianh1989]

Has anyone got Montoya's 2005 Spa pole lap?

[Chriz7164]

Just compare this engine sound to a 2011 F1 car and you will hear the difference right away!

[macnahamic]

@Chriz7164 Hear? I don't just hear it... I see it. Bloody hell, his speed after eau rouge is massive!! Among many other things, V8 engines ruined this sport.

[TheEnemyac130above]

@macnahamic i rather v8 engines than turbo charged 6 cylinders in 2013 that is the evidence the world will end in 2012 hope it does

[Chriz7164]

I like how he just throws the car to the left getting out of Eau Rouge (:

[blainyrules]

1:01 to 1:06 total eargasm.

[shredderkrang]

@Palmeiirense

This does sound so much better than these days! Do yourself a favour and look up "Finnishguy107" and his McLaren clips of hakkinen & coulthard are amazing!

[Palmeiirense]

O.M.G , this sound ....

[hARZ6]

The fastest Mclaren ever over 980 HP

A 3.0 L V10 ,.. Today is the Formula 1 soo boring and gay ,..

[hARZ6]

Die autos waren noch schnell ,.. heute sind das lahme Enten im Vergleich zu damals,.. über 980 ps

[CjNxtMusic93]

@hARZ6 dafür sind se heute sicherer und aerodynamischer ;) die rundenzeiten sind nur 2-3 sekunden langsamer ..

[dragosh01x]

why does all the v10-era on-board footage look like 1,000,000 mph compared to current cars ?

[TheUntitled100]

@dragosh01x Because they're better than the V8's and always will be.

[DeadbeatXT]

i miss the bus stop chicane

[martiner]

wow V10's sound is perfect!

[KimiRIkkonen]

@1991ant1991 mika ?

[1991ant1991]

@KimiRIkkonen Should have been more clear with my comment, what I meant was out of the current drivers on the grid not the retired ones.

[KimiRIkkonen]

@1991ant1991 than okay :) btw, schumi totally beat Alonso, in the 2nd half of 2006 season, cuz his car was kinda fixed,if he had same car all season he would have been 8 times WDC :P

[PieLighter]

@KimiRIkkonen cough renault mass dampers cough

[DeadbeatXT]

@KimiRIkkonen 1998: Mclaren was better car for virtually the whole year. Ferrari clawed back towards the end, but only beat Mclaren in 2001.

[1991ant1991]

@danwest1989 I've deleted my comment because I kept having to explain that what I meant was out of the CURRENT F1 drivers.

[youtabeer]

@1991ant1991

Alonso didn't exactly beat Schumacher in his prime as rule changes in 2005 and 2006 hurt Ferrari's car.

[CitizenZon3]

@1991ant1991 what about mika hakkinen? and 2005 fia changed the rules in advantage to alonse

[1991ant1991]

@CitizenZon3 Is Hakkinnen on grid now? No. Alonso is the only one to beat Schumacher who is CURRENTLY racing in F1.

[CitizenZon3]

@1991ant1991 Ok sorry for writing that to you again, first realized alot of ppl wrote that to you allready. And about

raikkonens car failing him in 2005... The 2005 was a beast maybe it wouldnt have been fast if they would of made it more reliable

[1991ant1991]

@CitizenZon3 Just too unreliable. By Schumacher in his prime I meant he was on form in 2006 and that's when Alonso beat him fair and sqaure.... 2005 should have been Kimi's year.

[1991ant1991]

@CitizenZon3 I just badly phrased that comment.

[MrTrueFinn]

@1991ant1991 Häkkinen? Villeneuve?

[1991ant1991]

@MrTrueFinn Please read dude, I've justified my point so many times now, I meant out of the current drivers on the grid now not the ones who are retired!

[PowerOfTheColours]

9 tenths of lap record. (before It was redesigned)

[Balnazzardi]

And I think that Kimi even said once that McLaren MP4-20 was the best car he had in F1.

[Balnazzardi]

Man, that looks so much faster than nowdays...And have to say that that's propably the fastest/best car that Mclaren built...except for all the reliability problems. Without them Mclaren and Kimi would have totally dominated.

[UltimateWheelman]

@Balnazzardi On the straights it's much faster, but the new cars are faster in the corners.

[Kulverint]

His visor isn't even down properly. He really was the iceman.

[SebbyHaughtonf1]

@thestonecoldandy I know, He put Q1, as if it was a 3-part qualifying but that all started in 2006...

[SebbyHaughtonf1]

There was no such thing as "q1" in 2005 was there? wasn't it just staurday qualifying and sunday qualifying?

[orjan2k]

@SebbyHaughtonf1 Ooops, my fault. They had two qualifying sessions in the first races, then they changed it to one session after Monaco i think. So they only had one session at Spa (this one) :)

[2012LewisHamilton]

@orjan2k @SebbyHaughtonf1 from Pre 2006 Qualifying was One lap qualifying with Two Sessions,The First being with Low Fuel and the 2nd with Race Fuel onboard

[thestonecoldandy]

@SebbyHaughtonf1 no not until 2006 did 3 qualifying sessions happen

[blainyrules]

@SebbyHaughtonf1 Technically yes, because there used to be 2 qualifying sessions.
