Kimi Räikkönen at the Arctic Lapland Rally (2009)

[ICEMANZIDANE]

!2005! my favorite season ,he was the fastest driver in 2005 but he had much problems with the car

but if he had no problems in a race than he was 20-30 seconds in front of alonso at the end of the race...in 05 nobody could beat him

in 1 race he started last and finished 1

[ICEMANZIDANE]

thx for the video

i love kimi and for me he is one of the best drivers in f1 but you will never hear this on tv

the media need drivers which speak much because than the media can make money with the drivers

but kimi is a ICEMAN he is not like the other drivers which have sold his live for the media (kimi do nothing fo money , if he drives f1 than he drives it for fun but not for money like other drivers do ...

[Tibberia]

Gaysong

[rsobka]

kimi is best at rally!!

[ValentinaBojic]

@tycoonpratik,everybody know that ferrari had problems so right question would be-do you know anything about f1 at all?guess not! they are most sucessfull team but this year they were 4th so just shut up...and @TenHunSkelper if you are so smart and you say that it is a washing machine on wheels why dont you drive it than?you talk shits about kimi and you worth less than his dirt under the shoes,when you became wcd,race for ferrari and be the fastest drivrer on earth you can say something,now not

[IceGalicianGirl]

next year I will see him in rallies! He will win!

yeah!

GO KIMI!

you're the best!

[95Icewoman]

he is the best

[TheInfraZ]

Kimi is one of the best F1 drivers ever. The problem is not in his driving skills, the problem is Ferrari. Too many technical and other problems.

I don´t believe Kimi is movin to WRC, he is continuing in F1 I think and I hope=)

[adzmc123]

is he fuk one of the best!

[tycoonpratik]

Rarely does Ferrari have technical problems. Do you know anything about F1?

If the problem is Ferrari then you probably dont know Ferrari is the most successful team in F1.

[kimismely]

@tycoonpratik

Ferrari has had many many technical problems in the last 3 years (for Kimi 6 DNFs, for Massa 5 DNFs) and lot of other mistakes in the strategy, in the pit stops, etc. These things have nothing to do with the drivers IMO.

[TehHunSkelper]

yes you really know your stuff, Räikkönen has been with with the most reliable teams on the F1 grid in Ferrari, please don't make excuses for a bad workman by trying to blame his tools.

And what is this "car" he is driving here, for fucks sake its like a washing machine on wheels.

[kimismely]

Don't tell me about reliability!!!! LOL What kind of reliability are you talking about especially in McLaren's case???!!!! Even big bosses at McLaren admitted that Kimi lost 2 titles because of reliability problems!!!

[kimismely]

Don't judge the man, do you know him?! You rely on opinions which are in the media. Journalists favourite thing is to bash Kimi Räikkönen who doesn't give a sh.t what they are thinking about him. Just because he looks like he doesn't care during press conferences doesn't mean that he doesn't like to work at all! Ask the mechanics, engineers, race engineers he had been working with...

LOL at the washing mashine on wheels... he had to drive this, it's a Fiat...

[Lilliz91]

@kimismely It´s very typical acting of finns actually.He concentrates on the important stuff and not trying to act smily face for the camera.

[LePutaMadre]

You're not such an intelligent individual are you?

Without a doubt Kimi was one of the fastest drivers in 2003, 2005 and 2007 when he was contesting for the title (and other years as well.) In 2003 he had a lot of bad luck. In 2005 he retired 5 yes FIVE times from the race LEAD due to car failure. You can count the points, and realize what a fucking idiotic statement you just released from your mouth.

In 2007 his car broke down 2 times, Lewis' ZERO times, yet people say Kimi was lucky! :)

[TehHunSkelper]

Fuck off you nerd

[dalexa]

@ TehHunSkelper

there's one thing that everyone is forgetting. ferrari was trying to replace kimi for alonzo for a while and he knew it. i wonder how you would feel and what was your motivation to race knowing that.

[paaulelramboxd]

queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­n !!

[06metal]

I think that in the future Kimi lead a rally car and not a F1car (Sorry for my english :-)), because now he is not very strong in F1...

[kimismely]

Not very strong because the car is not very strong. ;) F60 is a dog, that's an understatement.

I also think that he will be in WRC after he quits F1 because he enjoyes it so much and he's really good at it also!

[Lifeofriley18]

The motoring press are alive with rumours that he will be in WRC next season, because they want a seat in the F1 team for Alonso. Giving him a WRC seat (as Fiat and Ferrari are part of the same group) makes it easier to get rid of his F1 contract as they're giving him something else.

[lobocelica]

GO KIMI GO!!! aunke ya no le veamos en la formula 1, por lo mneos le veremos correr en rallyes, pronto yegara el momento de verle correr contra loeb!!

[termis69]

KIMI come on in WCR you're the BEST buddy!!!

[connell256]

1:39 SCARYYYYYYYYYYY

[100motorsportmad]

great

[12valvepower1]

i thought the 500 was RR. rear engine rear drive 2 cyl

[Lifeofriley18]

That was the original. The new one is based on the Fiat Panda, and is front engine front wheel drive. They've even gone and made it water-cooled!

[balle003]

i guess u r correct... and he should be in good hands with Makkinen's team helping him. looking foward to rally finland.

[spiritlight9k]

he uses a Fiat Punto WRC?

[jakog123]

fiat 500 abath

[balle003]

what team will kimi be driving for at rally finland ?

[kimismely]

On the official entry list you can read only "Kimi Räikkönen" below the team's name column. He will be driving with his Fiat Grande Punto S2000 as usual and Tomi Makkinen's racing team will help him. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[hash626]

anybody know where he finished in the rally?

[kimismely]

13th. :)

[hash626]

by chance you know out of how many??

[kimismely]

If I'm not mistaken in his category out of 38, 13 retired, 25 finished so in the middle field. But considering it was his first ever try in rally, I think he did quite well.

[hash626]

oh yea for sure, very different from F1. i read somewhere he would do a WRC event but i'm wondering if thats like with big guns (Loeb etc) or a ladder series for WRC??

[kimismely]

Yes, he will drive at the Neste Rally in Finland, at the end of this month, it's the next stage of the World Rally Championship!

[gallardogt]

Mika has to practice more in the Richard Burns Rally Simulator (what he does already I'm sure) and then he will succeed ;-)

[gallardogt]

Sorry, I mean Kimi of cource :-o

[wildwolfnsf]

Grande Kimi, a lui si perdona tutto (dedicato a viperino :-) )

[kimismely]

What does it mean in English, please?

[wildwolfnsf]

It means: great kimi, we forgive him any error

[ValentinaBojic]

kimi i know you love rally and......YOU ARE GREAT...but please dont leave f1...not withouth another one tittle or withouth many more wins,your fans need you!!,,,,,keep flying kimi!!!!

[vourna]

.... and god knows how much we love him

GO KIMI GO

be the king of F1 2009

[Jappe1444]

But he's not the king xD

[dimsadms]

This video realy made me proud to be kimmi fan :)

[Makeozi]

Nice Vid!

[kissrevolver123]

i would love to see kimi goes up against rossi on battle of champs....

[anrajala]

Good idea but there is enough content perhaps for one minute clip. To stretch it to 7 min by endlessly zooming on still pictures is silly.

[xbladetm]

Excellent driver! and even more so when he gets to show off a bit, F1 is too strict for drivers to have fun!

Good sound track too!

Congrats on the vid.

[kimismely]

Totally agree with you that Kimi's an excellent and multitalented driver and that F1 is too strict for him to have fun. Thanks for the comment!

[creationofsociety]

does this mean he s gonna drive rallies to like wrc ? cuz i read in a interview that kimi doesnt want to race formula 1 a long time cuz he only likes racing and nothing the other things around it (publicity wise)

[kimismely]

Who knows what would happen in the future? That's sure that he likes rally, and it seems that he's very good at it. :)

[KIMIhyperfanatiker]

Great video and I think the song is good for this, too.

[Imagine1965]

Yep, matters of taste should not argue about. This is quite a good song. Thank you Kimismely this video clip!

[kksportvideos]

Give him more power and torque and he'll do even better next year. He was driving a Super 2000-class Fiat Punto and Häkkinen, Järvilehto & Salo all drove a N-class Mitsubishi Evo 9. There's a "slight" difference in that.

[riverdragon72]

what a gay song

[pidromonz]

it's not about the song it's about Räikkönen and his skill in driving :D

but you have a point a better song could have been used

[kimismely]

Tastes are different. So far I got comments that the songs are good. I'm sorry that you don't like them.

[nv4racing]

Good compilation video. Thanks for giving me the credit. I'm glad that my material was good enough to be used in this. :)

[kimismely]

Thanks for your comment! :) Your video was more than good, we cannot be thankful enough for you and for the other great fans who shared their material with all the Kimi fans around the world! :) Without you we couldn't have seen Kimi driving that rally car - only just in pictures.

[riadf2007]

i don't think that massa is better than kimi in F1, but i think that he work a lot and he is more implicate than Kimi on his work

[iAn7tOrrEs]

he's practising for a 2010 career

[keesya7]

great vid. miss kimi so much, can't wait for f1 to start again. why kimi didn't take part in ROC? He'd be great with heikki or the other awesome rally drivers finland has. go kimi!

[tncchris]

Like to see Li'l Lewie try and match that. Brilliant stuff Kimi. Proud to be a fan. 2009 will see you back at the top in F1

[kimismely]

Thanks for this great comment! I agree 100%! :)

[chick5581]

hahaha yeah i really did enjoy watcning this.. i can see how it got so many views .. and i agree with the comments below. well most of them anyways.

[holiday2106]

Kimi is really an amazing driver!

[KimmoKuopio]

Räkä rulz!

[Jagdtiger1981]

Man he is talented... Finishing 13th in Finnish Rally Championships is superb result.

[sazza111]

If Kimi finished 13th, Massa would've finished in the top ten.

[Jagdtiger1981]

I really think he would be so good...Not even top-20 material. After all, I have never even heard about Brazilian rally drivers...Are they good?

[kimismely]

I think you meant: "you really DON'T think he would be so good", right? :) About the Brazilian rally drivers... LOL it's a good question.

[Jagdtiger1981]

yeah, DONT i meant

[sazza111]

Massa is no more a rally driver than Rossi or Raikkonen. But if a racing driver is quick in one discipline, then he also tends to be quick in others too. Prost is now an motor ice racing champion. Felipe is a better driver than Kimi in F1, so there's a good chance he could beat him in rally too.

[Jagdtiger1981]

I dont believe he is better than Kimi...

[Imagine1965]

I dont believe that too. I think that Massa is same level as Häkkinen and Salo in rally.

[Jagdtiger1981]

I meant Massa is not good as Kimi in F1...too.

[MrMojoRisinBp]

Grat, jó kis videót csináltál!

Hol jutottál hozzá ennyi képhez?

[kimismely]

Köszi! :) Kimi hivatalos fórumán. :)

[MrMojoRisinBp]

Ja tényleg, azt még az első szakaszok idején néztem is, emlékszem a nickedre.

Még 1x grat, a zenék is ott vannak!:)

[rallycapi]

go kimi goooooooooooo!!!!

[gun6226]

Thanks, Kinga! Kimi is simply the best!

Im addicted to your videos... :)

[ididnotdie]

Really glad you made this one. (:

Can't wait for the season to start, it's going to be a Kimi year this time! (: But at least we know now that all hope isn't lost if he decides to quit. (; He can become a rally driver! ^^

[belekas258]

thanks, Kinga :) Kimi really did awesome job and show that he is just pure talet :)

[edjucaem]

wow!!! Kimi did awesome!!!! I'm so glad someone made a video of the race!!

[dennyke]

Bravissimó Kimi!!! (L)
