Description

Kimi got his revenge though when Priestley was one of the guests at his Lapland home for the yearly Finland “piss-up”. Written on Raikkonen’s Alfa Romeo C41 was “Dear Kimi, we will leave you alone now”. Where are his gloves and steering wheel? 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. For anyone who was about to leave McLaren, on the final day they would be covered with all sorts of “crap” in the view of the pit lane, while the team also had an intense blue dye in their armoury, so Kimi was not going to be an exception as he prepared to move to Ferrari.

Six things we learned about Kimi Raikkonen in his new book

While Priestley was in bed, Kimi and his mate smashed the door off its hinges, held Priestley down and “he gets a set of clippers and buzzes like a reverse mohican down the middle of my long shoulder-length hair! He doesn’t have a lot of time for mobile phones, mind. One ended up in the sea, while he was in the archipelago, after a call with news that his second Ferrari deal had been done. He adds: “In 90 percent of all calls, no one has got anything important to say. In the nineties, with landlines, you were bound to have something to say. For example, people might suggest going out; they didn’t ring just for the fun of it. One More Toy has been seen in the Monaco harbour various times since then and he has also added a smaller one to his collection called the Iceman. In the press conference he was asked what kind of a dad he wants to be and his answer was: “Good and beloved”I’m deep in thought when Sami taps me on my shoulder. It’s time to go into the garage to observe the beginning of the first practice session. We approach the heart of the matter in the labyrinthine pit area: two red cars. An island between the cars is full of computers and men in red wearing ear protectors. We stand further away, so earplugs are enough for us. It did not take long for the former McLaren boss to come up with it as he first coined the term at the start of Kimi’s first season with the team due to the Finn’s calm and often cold demeanour.

In fact, he cannot even stand them when the person on the end does have something rather important to say. After being told over a call that a deal had been reached for him to drive for Ferrari in 2014, he threw his mobile into the sea. Not sure why. Maybe the thought alone of all the congratulatory texts was too much for him. He is the last Ferrari champion 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. With all the cult appeal of I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the raw excitement of Formula One and the insight of the best biographies, this is a book every sports fan will want to treasure. He did, of course, ultimately choose the latter, and had an excellent reason for doing so: “B ecause I didn’t have to get up early in the morning.”He also pees in his cars sometimes during qualifying because waiting in the car for one hour is apparently too long He drove cars long before getting that license, one time practically destroying the tires of a rental car in Italy because he wanted to drift with it in a roundabout. Kimi and his dad had an unresolved fight over his dad’s drinking before his dad died in 2010 Rallying helped him process his dad’s death, otherwise he thinks he would have just ended up drinking way too much as well 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."

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.

Kimi Raikkonen will always be remembered in F1 for his racing prowess, and he is equally regarded as one of the series’ best characters. 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. That came in handy one day in 2017 when the toilet on the Ferrari bus was not working correctly in Barcelona, where pre-season testing was taking place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. I loved it. I thought it was fascinating - really, really interesting story that he's got to tell... I've known him for years and I learned an awful lot.' Marc Priestley? And I was like ‘I’m tired, I’m out of here’. Got in the cab, get home, walk in my house, and Kimi is sat in my living room, alone, I have no idea how he got there.”

Kimi Raikkonen’s haiku book is the most amazing thing Kimi Raikkonen’s haiku book is the most amazing thing

More remarkable still, there's the question of why the Sauber Formula One team got it into their heads that it would be a good idea to give a test to an unknown driver who was the veteran of a tiny number of minor car races. That he turned out to be sufficiently exceptional to get a contract with them (despite the objection of then boss of the governing body, Max Mosley, who regarded him as too dangerously inexperienced to be given the required racing licence) is in all honesty less significant than his ever getting the chance to demonstrate such ability in the first place.He also says Kimi treats everyone the same whether they’re a CEO or a cleaner, and that while there’s a lot of arrogance in F1, there’s none to be found in Kimi
