The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen

Product Information

Reliability problems were often a frustration for Raikkonen at McLaren, one of those arriving at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix, a fiery heat shield and subsequent engine damage forcing him to come to a stop at Portier. You were the fifth fastest in the free practice. What does that bode for tomorrow’s qualifying? ‘Hmm. I’m not sure.’ His favorite song to sing in karaoke is Paalupaikka (Pole Position) by Kari Tapio bc he relates (read the lyrics) Kimi Raikkonen will always be remembered in F1 for his racing prowess, and he is equally regarded as one of the series’ best characters. While not funny for Kimi at the time, it certainly was for the viewer as he yelled over the radio for someone to bring him his gloves and steering wheel, which fortunately for Kimi, soon arrived.

The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen | Book by Kari Hotakainen

Kimi Räikkösen julkisuuskuvaa leimannut pitkälti hänen vaikenemisensa. Räikköselle lehdistötilaisuudet ja kaikenlainen julkisuus ovat ammatinvalintaan liittyvä välttämätön paha. "Hienointa olisi, jos voisi ajaa formula ykkösiä tuntemattomana", hän on tokaissut. Tuntematon Kimi Räikkönen on kertomus vaatimattomista oloista lähteneestä ihmisestä, joka murtautui epätavallisen ammatin huipulle. Tässä kirjassa Kimin lisäksi puhuvat myös hänen äitinsä, veljensä, vaimonsa ja uskotut ystävät. Sanansa sanovat myös muut kuljettajat, tallipäälliköt, mekaanikot, fysiovalmentaja, manageri ja aivan tavallinen formulafani. Kirja kertoo ajamisesta, perheestä, luottamuksesta, vapaa-ajasta ja hänen tähänastisen elämänsä dramaattisista hetkistä. Tulossa on hurja, humoristinen ja liikuttava kirja, joka avaa huiman maailman myös niille, jotka eivät ole kiinnostuneet moottoriurheilusta. As most of the F1 world knows, Raikkonen is a man of few words. When he does speak, Raikkonen makes every word count. In the words of the Scuderia Ferrari driver: “The right words do not need others to mean something.” According to the other new Ferrari boss Louis Camilleri who was invited to their wedding, Kimi gave Minttu a spontaneous 10-minute speech and it was “one of the most beautiful speeches he has ever heard”Late at night, I log onto the internet in the hotel room. Thursday’s press conference about the coming weekend catches my eye. The drivers were asked what sort of memories they have about the Malaysian race, now to be run for the last time. The drivers answer dutifully and politely – that means boringly. Then it’s Kimi’s turn. He had his first race win here in 2003, and a reporter asks what he’ll miss most. A brief silence is followed by words that drop like stones on a tiled floor. Kimi says that, to be honest, he doesn’t know if he’ll miss anything. It’s a nice circuit. But the airport, the hotel and the circuit are all you see here. You can choose if you’ll miss any of them or not. The only story I can really remember with Kimi, because most of them are a blur, we were out until like 3am in London and I had a house at that point,” Button told Sky Sports F1 in 2021. Ainoa F1-kuljettaja Räikkösestä kirjoitettu auktorisoitu elämäkerta. Valottaa tarkemmin lapsuuden kokemuksia, karting-harrastusta, vanhempien loputonta tukea, armeija-aikojen seikkailuja ja matkaa lopulta Formula ykkösiin. Yksi kirja on parempi kuin ei yhtään kirjaa, mutta erityisesti nyt pari vuotta julkaisun ja ensilukemisen jälkeen tämä teos kirjana jää melko pintapuoliseksi kuvaukseksi henkilöstä ottaen huomioon teoksen myyntimäärät ja kansainväliset käännösoikeudet. Mikä saa ihmisen, joka on vihannut formuloita siitä lähtien kun on vähänkään osannut havainnoida maailmaa, tarttumaan F1-kuskista kertovaan kirjaan? Miksi tämä ihminen antaa kirjalle ja lukukokemukselle 4 tähteä viidestä? Mitä on tapahtunut? Riccardo Parino, PMI Vice President Global Partnerships and Events said: "We never expected that Kimi's Book of Haiku would generate such a buzz. We saw it as a light-hearted but real demonstration of winnowing and an ideal way to engage people about the guiding principles of our initiative.

His father, Keijo Hotakainen, worked as a storekeeper and photographer while his mother, Meeri Ala-Kuusisto, worked as a sales clerk. Kari Hotakainen passed his matriculation examination in 1976 and graduated from Rautalampi High School the same year. He has a Bachelor of Arts. Written on Raikkonen’s Alfa Romeo C41 was “Dear Kimi, we will leave you alone now”. Where are his gloves and steering wheel? Just leave me alone, I know what to do,” he said in a stern reply over the radio. Turned into a printed T-shirt on the F1 store, Kimi’s final team, Alfa Romeo, but their own twist on the line at the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP, Kimi’s last race.

He was found sleeping naked in some unknown actor guy’s bed the morning of his first media appearance as a Ferrari driver That season, he put together a monumental late run of form to pip McLaren duo Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton and become a World Champion, and nobody in red has been able to do that since. Kimi got his revenge though when Priestley was one of the guests at his Lapland home for the yearly Finland “piss-up”. Hard to say what they get out of Kimi, who during his eighteen-year career has given as many interviews as Lewis Hamilton, the four-time world champion and social media king, gives in a week. Kimi sees the fans and stops. He knows what he has to do before diving into the Maserati waiting outside. A couple of minutes, forty metres, then the encounter will be over.

Finding himself in a swimming pool with his clothes on, attempting to imitate Maradona, a trip to Helsinki for the May 1st celebrations and twisting his ankle, which caused him to miss a Lotus test, were all part of the antics. Kimi had at one stage been using a baggage trolley to move around his house while he recovered from the injury. And then, worse than that, he cuts the plug off the end of the clippers and throws it out a window into like a five-foot snowdrift! He especially hates them if there is no real purpose to them, as he stated in his aforementioned biography: “I can’t be bothered to answer when the voice at the other end says ‘it’s nothing really, I just called to ask how you were’.” In the press conference he was asked what kind of a dad he wants to be and his answer was: “Good and beloved”When he joined the grid in 2001, F1 cars used V1o engines and continued to do so until the end of 2005. In that time, Kimi won nine races. V8 engines were then used from 2006 to 2013, a period in which he claimed victory on 11 occasions. Since then, V6 hybrids have been used and after a long wait, he finally won a race with one in 2018 in Austin. The book: Winnow Your Words. Kimi's Book of Haiku, was originally released by Philip Morris International (PMI) as part of the press kit when the company launched its Mission Winnow initiative with its partner Scuderia Ferrari at the Japan Grand Prix in Suzuka.
