Currently battling cancer, sitting in boring chemo, and F1 uploads a over 40 minute Kimi podcast.... awesome 💪 UPDATE: I have beaten cancer, and now hold the title "stage 3 cancer survivor". Thank you for all the kind messages :)
I can remember the time when German television channel RTL asked Kimi for an announcement at there channel and he said no. Bos they were baffled and I enjoyed that so much because I can't stand these RTL guys.
Tyler Ensminger he’s more likely to do these type of interviews that is more relax and enjoyed these type which is more conversational and have no chit chat B.S which is something the press conferences are..
I'm like this also. It allows so much more ease and joy, peace within etc. I honestly hate when people try to fill my brain with endless details that aren't relevant to right right then. :') Having a mind full of anticipatory crap is one of the main reasons for anxiety, worry, etc. Freedom feels just so much better ;) Kimi is such a G
He literally once drank for 14 days and went to Spain Gp 2 days after he stopped drinking to claim 2 or was it 3 place. I did read his biography this man has did more crazy things than you would think.

You're right, the actual battle was between Alonso and Hamilton, he just stayed at 3rd during the whole season and because of the drama at McLaren he ended up winning
@@swampthing94 I know and not saying he was lucky but Kimi wasn't willing to do that final push to beat then, for him it was ok not to win the championship, he just wanted to establish his seniority at Ferrari
Bwoah without a doubt he's the one of the most iconic drivers to ever grace the sport, I'll miss him when he leaves, there will only be one Kimi. Bwoah.
I think he'd be "back", if presented with a v8/v10/v12 I feel the hybrid v6 just doesn't ignite him (or a lot of other ppl tbh) in the same, and also required ways.. At least racing wise
The first 35 seconds was hilarious! I'm looking forward to the humour and insight that Kimi will offer in this podcast. What a way to start the second season of podcasts!
Fell asleep listening to this last night, Kimis voice and accent is oddly soothing. Very good interview, interesting to hear Kimis story in his own words. Good job on the questions, just shows that asking the right questions makes the Iceman want to talk. Think I know what to listen to the next few nights.
... aaand 3 years later this just happened to me 😂 I remember saving the podcast but not having time to listen to it, as those were some busy days back then, but yesterday I scrolled down to my saved list and happily found it just to fall asleep at around 40th min 😂
It's easier for Kimi to win an F1 race than it is to be convinced to do an interview beyond 90 seconds. I'm amazed this is on tape at all. Also looking forward to little Raikonnen racing in F1 in 20 years.
A genuine kimi.. he really loves talking about racing or driving.. you can tell that because he really elaborated and explained everything asked..and he laughs too! He deserves to be in F1 until he'll have enough..
Kimi is shy and very introvert, it seems he is very hard to crack, but you also have the feeling that there is a great person behind the simple lines. I think with Kimi Tom would have needed at least an extra 30 mins as the end got better and better. I was surprised to hear that DC had been one of his best team mate. Thanks for this.
The most adored F1 driver probably until now as I enjoy his driving style and character. I hope he can still give his best this year and fight for the podium at least if not for the WIN but I have so much faith in him to give his fans a surprise win this year. THE ICE MAN is a GREAT MAN. If Kimi is in my country he can be a President no doubt. I'm a big fan of Kimi from the Philippines 🏎🏎🏎🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@SGstylerSG But in English he still is funnier than most drivers. Also I want to know what went through his mind when he was losing the championship. Coz he kept putting a brave face on every race
Kimi in March 2019, see 11:33 "So many things can change over those two years... hopefully we all stay healthy, that's the main thing, you know..." Prophetic O.o
Kimi has to be the race driver that all others should consult in how to manage your working career to your personal life. Admittedly TC does his job of enticing Kimi to talk about his career and his personal life but Kimi manages the questions well. Surprising, finding out that he doesn't have a plan was intriguing but that's how he managed those questions. This is an interview where if it was done 10 years ago, wouldn't be possible. I enjoyed it so much.
Kimi is one of those guys I could listen to for hours. He could talk about things I couldn't begin to comprehend, and I would find it interesting. It has been an absolute honor to watch Kimi race in addition to listening to podcasts like these.
11:20 Well i guess Kimi was the closest to the "Where do think you will be in 2 two years"-question: "I don't have plan. So many things can change, hopefully we all stay healthy."

(Yes, that's negative decibels) A room so quiet you can not only hear your heart beat but you can hear your lungs inside your chest... and then when Kimi mentioned Mika, I realised that if you put those two in a room together, *that* would probably be the quietest room on Earth!
The interview started in the most Kimi way possible!
30 second in and I am laughing... Typical Kimi :D
Leave him alone, he knows what he's doing!
@@Archytas00 beat ya to it. 12 seconds in

"And youre listening to...podcast." Yup, thats our Kimi.
I can remember the time when German television channel RTL asked Kimi for an announcement at there channel and he said no.
Bos they were baffled and I enjoyed that so much because I can't stand these RTL guys.
Can't believe they got Kimi to sit down to do this podcast. Fantastic job guys
Tyler Ensminger he’s more likely to do these type of interviews that is more relax and enjoyed these type which is more conversational and have no chit chat B.S which is something the press conferences are..
Well he mentioned he got forced into it, so it's probably in his contract lol
@BoneYard I thought the same, but more because he's near the end of his f1 career
He said that he was forced to but I think he enjoyed it a lot
He clearly got the bloody drink
He spoke so much because they gave him the drink
And an ice cream 👌
Yes Kimi you will get the drink
You were quoted with this comment in a large Finnish newspaper in an article about this interview.
@@hallquiche Cool!
You mean the _d r i n c c_
"hi, i'm Kimi Raikkonen and you're listening to....podcast...Bwoaah"
LOL
Hahah
Kimi doesn't say many words but if you really listen to him he makes perfect sense
Bwoaah!!!
Haha
I'm a simple guy.
I read "Kimi Raikkonen" on the title.
I click it.
Cool Crush Ice Killa you said the G word
🤣
@Cool Crush Ice Killa makes no sense at all :D
You forgot; I liked it

50 minutes of Kimi talking?
49 minutes of TC asking questions and 1 minute of Kimi "yes", "no" and "bwoah" answers.
A yoke.....
*50 minutes of TC trying to get Kimi talking
Lol
That's about the rest of his lifetime's worth of talking
The last old school driver, deserve all the respect. Kimi is F1, from Uruguay come on Iceman!!! Youre the goat
Amazing to see a fellow River Plate neighbour here! :)

Kimi is such a G
He’s the anti-Coulthard.
If they told him about to podcast, he wouldn't have gone there. I'm pretty sure that's why we get to listen to him speaking now :D
"When in your career have you been happiest"
"When I'm at home"
Lmao😂
Xdddd
Kimi is a proper lad behind that F1 facade. Likes racing, loves his family and goes to the pub with his mates :)

Lol i read vertix instead of jesus

Kimi talked during this 50 minutes more than in his whole F1 career

How about Sebastian Vettel sometime??
Please do Danny Ric!
"Entourage? These are my friends, I call them friends." 😊
Occasionally there is proof Kimi is human and not robot. Much more human than most, even..
Never plans anything, doesn't set any goals, just tripped and fell into a Ferrari and won a championship
the Kimi way
You're right, the actual battle was between Alonso and Hamilton, he just stayed at 3rd during the whole season and because of the drama at McLaren he ended up winning
@@willypro4949 He did get the most victories that season to be fair
@@swampthing94 I know and not saying he was lucky but Kimi wasn't willing to do that final push to beat then, for him it was ok not to win the championship, he just wanted to establish his seniority at Ferrari
Just a normal guy from Finland...
Bwoah without a doubt he's the one of the most iconic drivers to ever grace the sport, I'll miss him when he leaves, there will only be one Kimi. Bwoah.
Kimi is a lot happier at Sauber
Hopefully the old Kimi is back!
Did he ever leave???
kacchan k yeah when Ferrari took his soul
I think he'd be "back", if presented with a v8/v10/v12
I feel the hybrid v6 just doesn't ignite him (or a lot of other ppl tbh) in the same, and also required ways..
At least racing wise
He is somehow still pushing in a ferrari powered car and beating both of the ferrari drivers in spa
@@CaptainAMAZINGGG Rally would ignite him again...
Only he deserves the premiere episode!
with kimi you can make a program
Season 1 - 2008 champion
Season 2 - 2007 champ
Season 3 - ?
@@Beef7599 Fernando coming back just to record podcast.

That thumbnail ! . can be used for "Kimi For President" Campaign
Let it be done
Pls no,
KIMI WANTS YOU!!!
@@chrislfc2317 pls yes,
Finally. I'm old enough to remember the debate saying he was far to young and inexperienced to drive the Sauber in Melbourne 2001.
Glad FIA didn't listen to them. Grid wouldn't have been same without him.
now some may debate saying he is too old to drive in f1 anymore, we've come to a full circle
@@TheMegaPingasMobile The 2018 season said he definitely deserves a place in F1.
@@TheMegaPingasMobile ** mumbles incoherently in agreement**

Dear F1
This podcast would be super epic if the footage was included.
Then it's not a podcast anymore.
Angga Pratama that’s not true.
"Say: I'm Kimi Raikkonen, and you're listening to Beyond the Gr-"
"Just leave me alone, I know what to say."

The reason why the people love kimi.... because he's just himself... always and absolutely ... he is Kimi through and through and that is infectious
That was FANTASTIC! Gotta love some KIMI! He seems so relaxed! Hope he has a great season!
Robin Raikkonen 2037 F1 world Champion
Im gonna stay here to remember this
It will be a blast if Kimi can finish on the podium this season, wish him the best of luck
This is the most I have ever seen Kimi talking. And one line he said is the reason am his fan " Championship didn't really changed my life "
This is Gold. But you know he doesnt speak for the rest of the year now.
It's easier for Kimi to win an F1 race than it is to be convinced to do an interview beyond 90 seconds. I'm amazed this is on tape at all.
Also looking forward to little Raikonnen racing in F1 in 20 years.
Wow Kimi spoke for 50 mins 🥰
Someone tell Kimi I waited for this allll my life. Thank you!
“I havent changed much but ive got older” kimi never change
With the birth of his son ,Kimi has opened up and become a great interview. I've always dug his style. Don't retire in '21 Iceman.
“Why are you so good at spa?”
“....I like it because it’s very quiet...”
He Attacc
He Protec
But most importantly,
He answer question bacc!!
This made my year lmao. The most genuine man in all f1
A genuine kimi.. he really loves talking about racing or driving.. you can tell that because he really elaborated and explained everything asked..and he laughs too!
He deserves to be in F1 until he'll have enough..

I wish Kimi all the best for his new start in Alfa Romeo. Hope they give him his drink without fail. Bring your team to greater heights! :D
Couldn't have started the season in a better way.... Kimi is back and he knows what he's doing🤣🤣
Great interview, Kimi is so different now, even compared to 5 years ago or so. Really great to see him so relaxed and open these days.

Six thousand comments of pure love for Kimi.
Life has become smooth and relaxed listening to Kimi for this long!!!
Now THAT is a nice gift for breakfast. Thank you, F1!

When I saw the length of the clip, I thought this was literally a supercut of *all* his interviews.
