It was more about Kimi "being Kimi" through some random anecdotes from his life, which was fine with me, and less about Kimi the F1 champion.

This is a well-known one, but one Ferrari fans would have refused to believe if they had been told it back when he won the title in Brazil in 2007. Kimi’s team-mate Sebastian Vettel left with his trainer, Antti Kontsas, before us but we arrive at the circuit at the same time. Hotakainen liikkuu kirjassa niin varikkoalueella kuin Kimin ylellisessä Sveitsin-kodissa, tapaa ihmisiä Kimin vanhemmista alkoholisoituneisiin australialaisfaneihin ja välittää kokemuksiaan lukijalle. There’s nothing wrong with him; he performs all the tasks quickly, actually more quickly than is average for his age. Raikkonen left Formula 1 with a who’s who of hilarious classic moments and tales to remember his career by, so let’s indulge in the best of them… How did he get into Jenson Button’s living room?Tulossa on hurja, humoristinen ja liikuttava kirja, joka avaa huiman maailman myös niille, jotka eivät ole kiinnostuneet moottoriurheilusta.

The monitor is your best source for getting the whole picture, even though everything takes place before your eyes.He and his buddy were seen before they went over, Kimi hid in a ditch while his friend was caught there. It’s a glimpse of the driver, a seat in a restaurant built above the pit garages, plus a feeling of importance. Mikä saa ihmisen, joka on vihannut formuloita siitä lähtien kun on vähänkään osannut havainnoida maailmaa, tarttumaan F1-kuskista kertovaan kirjaan? He would instead go for a wander over to his private yacht which was waiting in the harbour, Kimi enjoying the rest of the Monaco Grand Prix from very comfortable surroundings as he chilled out with his pals.

The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen | Book by Kari Hotakainen

We get detailed descriptions and expert commentaries on someone lying in a sled, sliding along a frozen chute at an insane speed. Speaking of chilled, it was a hot Sunday in Malaysia for the 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix, though a torrential downpour would bring out the red flags as the race was suspended.Soon afterwards, he headed to Barcelona and, despite surely nursing a monumental hangover, scored another podium and drank some champagne. Unfortunately his mate had told theirs superiors about him so Kimi was caught hiding in his bed muddy and covered in twigs and leaves, also drunk. From poetry, Hotakainen moved on to writing books for children and young adults and then on to writing novels for adults. Kimi is already ensconced in his car – only his helmet and right hand are visible; the hand reaching out for a bottle handed over by Mark Arnall.
