    Collection of Kimi's famous words


    I stumbled upon this one on the PF1 forum (credit NeverCryWolf)

    Montoya's success in NASCAR?- It doesn't even interest me.

    Will these tyres benefit your driving style? - I don't know and it doesn't mean anything to me. Tyres are what they are.

    What advice would you give to the rookies Nico Rosberg and Scott Speed? - I hope that they are good in giving way.

    Do you think that the speed is good at this point? - It doesn't matter how much behind the others we are at this point. The car will anyway be rebuilt before Australia. Now we just drive around.

    Media's interest in Kimi after the WC? - They have thrown a lot of xxxx on me but I think that I'll get even more of it now.

    Schumacher's role : - He doesn't come and tell us drivers anything. And at least I don't need his advice.

    Montoya's points: - If he believes in it, he can believe. I'm not interested in what happens behind me.

    Gossip Media asks how are you prepared for the season? - I usually get to read from your magazines what I have done.

    Montoya's tennis accident: - We don't call and I'm not interested in what he does.

    "If the army would be volunteer I wouldn't go there - Kimi about women in army

    Austria 2002: - I haven seen it. I'm not the least bit interested in what Ferrari did.

    Alonso teasing Kimi. - I couldn't care less what the man is thinking.

    Weather conditions: - It's all the same if it rains or not.

    Season 2006: - It doesn't interest me yet what is going to happen. You'll see it then.

    An Italian interviewer tries to get Kimi to say something in Italian. - You can talk Italian if you want to.

    Ferrari event 2007: - I'm not going to a language school to learn Italian, that's not what I came to do at Ferrari.

    Kimi, what's the 5th grid place like? - I'ts the 5th grid place.

    Ferrari party: - Ferrari's own partys are the best one. I don't know exactly what I will do there. Maybe I'm Santa Claus.

    Party at the President's castle: - Someone else will have to dance with her (Jenni).

    Party at the President's castle: - Ah, go and interview Mikko Leppilampi. He likes to talk.

    Kimi, what is your feeeling before the race? - It's allright.

    French GP 2002: - xxxx race.

    Hungarian GP 2007: - Boring race.

    OHO!-magazine number 46/2006: - I read somewhere that I drive with the luck of a drunk.

    Opinion of Ron Dennis: - He's strange now and then. He always wants to know everything. He doesn't interest me.

    - My life would be much more easier had I been a f1-driver in the 70's with the guys. I was definitely born in the wrong era.

    What makes TAG Heuer special? - It's ok.

    Kimi, you speak a little bit? - Yeah, one two.. three..

    What kind of an atmosphere do you think McLaren has right now (the spy saga)? - I bet it's fxcking great.

    - The Constructor's Championship doesn't really mean anything to me.

    - I'm not interested in what Jackie says. He hasn't got anything to do with me.

    - Coulthard can say what he wants. I'm not interested in what he's saying.

    - I don't give a damn about what Trulli says.

    - Montoya's comments doesn't interest me.

    - It doesn't matter what he says. (Kimi about Hamilton's defences after Canada GP)

    - I've seen him (Schumacher) twice: when the car was displayed and in one testing he came to but I left almost immediately after that.

    - You don't drive races on paper.

    - Driving is the only thing I love about f1.

    - If there's a red light when you leave the pitlane you have to stop. Then some wooden eye (Hamilton) crashes into you and breakes the car.

    - What the papers write about me afterwards makes me laugh.

    - Formula 1 would be a paradise without the media.

    - I'm not interested in what people think about me. I'm not Michael Schumacher.

    - The circuit broke totally. Every year same thing happens. They promise to fix it. They probably should hire the guys from Lemminkäinen (Finnish asphalt company) to fix it.

    How does it feels to drive at 300 km/h? - "It feels normal"

    Your idols? - There aren't any.

    What kind of a relationship do you have with Peter Sauber? - He is my boss.

    Is he a father figure or a god father? - He is my boss.

    The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you? - It protects my head.

    Do you have any special rituals when the helmet is concerned like many have? - I wipe it so that I can see better.

    What would you if you met an alien, run away out of fear or try to talk to him? - The problem won't arise so I don't imagine meeting one.

    And remember the most famous one... (Martin Brundle's gridwalk Brazil 2006).

    Martin: “Kimi Raikkonen doesn’t seem interested in the proceedings going on up there. Kimi, you missed the presentation by Pele.”
    Kimi (nonchalantly): “Yeah.”
    Martin: ”Will you get over it?”
    Kimi: “Yeah. I was having a shit.”
    Martin: “OK, thanks for that! Obviously you’ll have a nice light car on the grid, then.”

    Hahahaha, that brings back memories..Laughing  I think there was a YouTube clip of it at the time.

    Ask the Expert - Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen


    What record did Finnish ice hockey team the Espoo Blues set during the 2007/2008 season? How many Grands Prix did James Hunt win during his Formula One career? How many times has Kaj Lindstrom competed in Rally Finland? And when did snowboarding become an Olympic sport?

    These are just some of the questions we thought Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen would take in his stride after he agreed to be the latest participant in our personal trivia test, ‘Ask the Expert’...

    Q: Just after you started in Formula One racing, which of your fellow drivers was quoted as saying “I am not afraid of Kimi, but he is definitely one of the strongest rivals I have come up against”?
    Kimi Raikkonen: Michael.
    Correct - it was indeed Raikkonen’s predecessor at Ferrari, Michael Schumacher.

    Q: You were born in 1979. Which driver and which team took the F1 title that year?
    KR: Hunt?
    Incorrect - it was Jody Scheckter and Ferrari.

    Q: How many races did Marcus Ericsson win for your Raikkonen Robertson Formula Three team this year?
    KR: He clinched two wins.
    Correct

    Q: You won the Formula Renault series in 2000. Can you remember by how many points?
    KR: 56.

    Correct - Raikkonen scored 316 to Ryan Daziel’s 260.

    Q: You’re a fan of Finnish ice hockey team, the Espoo Blues. During the 07/08 season they set a new team record. What was it?
    KR: 12 wins in a row.
    Correct

    Q: On your Formula One debut at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix, you crossed the line seventh but were classified sixth. Why?
    KR: Wasn’t it Panis who got a time penalty?
    Correct - following the race, BAR’s Olivier Panis was handed a 25-second time penalty for a yellow flag infringement.

    Q: Why was the 2003 European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring so special for you?
    KR: My first pole position.
    Correct

    Q: How many world rally championship events has Marcus Gronholm won?
    KR: 25?
    Incorrect - it’s actually 30.

    Q: If the newspapers are to be believed, who is the only other sportsman to top your earnings?

    Correct

    Q: You made your World Rally Championship debut recently at Rally Finland. Who won the rally last year?
    KR: Loeb
    Correct - it was Sebastien Loeb and co-driver Daniel Elena.

    Q: In 1998 another Raikkonen made headlines in Finland. What for?
    KR: I think his first name was Ville. But no idea what he did.
    Call us generous but we think that deserves half a point - Ville Raikkonen won a bronze medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics for the sprint event in the Biathlon.

    Correct

    Q: You’re a firm fan of Walz Hardcore motorcycles. How long did it take to build your bespoke Iceman II bike?
    KR: I think nobody has the right answer for that. I guess that normally it takes one year, but I got mine in 10 months.
    Correct

    Q: You are a keen snowboarder. When did snowboarding become an Olympic sport?
    KR: 1998.
    Correct

    Q: Only one other Finn has raced for Ferrari - Mika Salo. What was his best result for the team?
