Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari (2007-2009): Legendary Racecraft Compilation

[proximacentauri]

Kimi Raikkonen could’ve been a 4 time world champion if everything went right in 2005/2003 and Ferrari decided to give Kimi what he wanted in 2008. But again all of this is just if’s and coulda’s, shoulda’s woulda’s.

I remember 2008 he did 10 fastest laps in the season. Absolute animal!

[Riaszto]

In one thing was Kimi the best ever.
The few laps that he made always before the pit stops with empty tank and used tyres. No one could do the same like he.
When the time came it was absolutly sure that he is going to make the fastest laps of the race

[Kyzer]

Legend. Remember that race in Brazil 07 like it was yesterday. Really miss him on todays grid. It’s not the same.

[amgm]

What "gets" me the most is that he made all this in the track and out of it his was just so nonchalant lol. When we see drivers of this much racecraft theyre mostly passionate about it, but not him. He was just doing what he had to. Pure talent.

People talk about Fernando Alonso deserving more titles than what the records say because of his skill, but Kimi Raikkonen doesn’t get enough recognition for his 2003-2009 performances. Hell even in 2019 we sometimes saw him do amazing feats in that Alfa (running 3rd in Hockenheim for a while, finishing 4th in Brazil, 6th in qualifying for Spa), he was just more so winding down cause he knew it was getting late and sometimes (in the latter years) he’d just rather be at home coaching his son for go karts or dirtbiking with his family and friends

Grooved tyre era Kimi is definitely one of the greatest drivers ever

This channel also makes me appreciate kimi raikkonen and made me fan of him wish he was still here but I’m excited for his son racing he looks like iceman 2.0

[lynxe]

the start of spa 2008 always amazes me, wheelspin, understeer, a loose rear end at the slightest bit throttle, but such confidence and ability to get past felipe and lewis in the first few laps, the way he goes up raidillon is great

I think these Kimi compilations are your best videos.
Great to watch the master do his craft.

[chanchaniceman]

His first year at Ferrari really was a great display of consistency, being able to adapt and mental fortitude. As soon as he got the sweet spot with his setup, he was literally the most consistent thing out there. His drive in Fuji was mega how he was able to recover from dead last to 3rd

[AlphaPsionic]

Man...Still remember his sauber debut. And then immediately exploded onto the scene with his mclaren debut. With generational talent, you can literally feel the driver doing something extraordinary behind the wheel. Just like michael, I knew this guy was always 110% on it, doing extraordinary stuff behind the wheel.
2007 was simply karma finally letting kimi win after a stretch of rotten luck. The guy absolutely blitzed the 2nd half of '07.
Shame the first Ferrari stint was so short. Always kinda felt he hated the watered down V8s.

[rhatala]

At this point you have to start wondering if he's going to be the last Ferrari champion ever.

[kirisaki.]

the malboro ferrari kimi is the end of an era

[ChaitanyaBhat]

That Fuji 2007 race is still one of my all time favorite drives

[willjackson]

The more you pay Kimi, the faster he goes 😂

[detonator]

Kimi was in his prime at McLaren. Sure he got his title at Ferrari but in his McLaren years he was one of the fastest guys in F1 history. Only the unreliability kept him from winning more titles. Absolute legend.

[ciaronsmith]

The greatest driver of his generation.

[LoganLynch]

I think kimi is alongside senna Schumacher verstappen Hamilton Clark Stewart and Fagio and best driver of his generation

[zLusso]

Raikkonen deserved 2003, 2005, and 2008. Ferrari and McLaren screwed over the fastest driver in f1 history. When Ferrari took kimis suspension in 2008, they gave his old one back too late, and completely sold 2008 for him.
