Kimi Räikkönen - Imola 2005

Kimi Räikkönen took pole with this lap, his first of five in 2005. He'd have to wait two weeks to win, though, in Spain. The old Mercedes V10 makes some fantastic noise, especially coming out of Villeneuve. This is coverage from Finnish television.

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!

@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

[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 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

[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

[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

[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!!!
