Kimi is so consistent when it comes to avoiding crashes. Literally all of his years he kept his crashes to a minimal. 2004 being the most DNF (1 crash and all of it were Mechanical) to 2021 being the most crashes he's ever gotten into (Bahrain, Portugal, Abu Dhabi)
Insanely fast is not always good. The first time he over-corrected and sent the car into an unrecoverable tank slapper. If it was good that wouldn't have happened :/
It seems that his reaction time was close to 60-80 ms after the engine RPM went to max when rear wheels hit the puddle. That's insane! Sadly he over-corrected multiple times - it seems that he was expecting the front wheels to have much less grip for every correction attempt.
Spain 2002, Monaco 2008, Singapore 2008, Britan 2014 and crashes with Alonso in Japan 2012 and Austria 2015 and many others. Not only mechanical failures.
It's all instinct of he spun because of driving over debris or a bump or something like that idk, you could catch the slide or spin relatively quickly and keep going with it
7:10 imagine how scary it must be to be in wet conditions with basically fog around you and F1 cars passing by at 250 km/h, hoping that every one of them will see you in time…
Been following Kimi since his rookie year. It sucks he's leaving Formula 1 and eventhough he isn't considered to be the greatest F1 driver, he'll always be the greatest to me. Thanks Kimi for everything
Well, who knows if he was the most skilled. When he had a car that had real possibilities on winning the championship, only luck and an unreliable McLaren saved Schumi from losing to him a couple times, and 2007 he won, beating Hamilton. So he has proven multiple times to be faster on track on pretty much equally fast cars than those two, that many say are the all time best. Even at 40 he could compete for points and make multiple passes on a race on a slow car. He was also good in WRC setting one fastest stage time and setting decent results without too much rally experience. It can take many years to see another F1 driver do that. Even on his couple NASCAR races he managed to impress by his driving. Look at him passing on the track and how fast and clean his driving was in F1. What had happened if he had the fastest and most reliable car on grid for many years? No one could have done anything. Bottas has the same thing, fast and very clean racing, and he can rally too. Very few mistakes on track. Just don't give him the 2nd car, or 2nd tactics, and he'll be the best. For sure
@@bklydesign There was, but it was placed in such a way it wouldn't provide strong enough barrier if they collided little bit later. Also camera was above barrier, sticking out a little bit, Alonso's tire could have easily hit camera. Logically no one expected such a crash with cars on one another, so placing of the camera seemed safe enough.
Brazil 2016 was really scary, being stationary in the middle of the fog while others are going 160+ MPH. Lucky he wasn't hit head on by another car. That would have been bad, shades of Zanardi at Nazareth 2001.
More than anyone, I feel like Kimi deserved better cars than he got throughout his career. Regardless, he's done amazingly and I'm glad that he has time to spend with his family. Thank you for an incredible career, Kimi Raikkonen ❤
Absolutely love the first rally crash-Kimi rolls the car absolutely totalled it and yet when Kimi gets out he’s already got his sunglasses on-Total Kimi ice cool I’ve just nearly killed my self but I’m must put on my sunglasses-priceless 😄
He never lets the steering wheel go before the impact, he always holds it tight till the end. He must have hurt his hands or wrists several times by doing this ...
Lewis Hamilton does the same thing. Nico Rosberg talked about it before. He believes it’s helped Hamilton during collisions and why he doesnt break suspension holding the wheel, because it doesn’t allow the steering wheel to snap it keeps it steady.
You don't want to do that let's say in Indycar because they don't have power steering. Power steering allows you to hold on to the wheel without serious damage to your wrists, non-power steering will hurt you. OutcastGrim2424 I watched that same clip and Rossberg mentioned the difference between power and non-power steering cars.
@@OutcastGrim2424 Yep, and in that same interview Nico stated that the steering system of a F1 car actually allows you to do that without hurting yourself, but drivers like him don't hold to the steering wheel because of instinct.
Most of his crashes are mostly due to being at the wrong place and time or some freak issues best example Nurburgring 2005 rarely by his own doing. Even if he does have a spin,doesn’t ends up in a huge shunt
These all fall under one of three classifications: 1. "The thing with the car is broken," 2. "Some guy just hit me," and 3. "The car just went off the thing and hit something."
That moment when he’s facing the wrong way at Brazil as cars come flying past him blind. That’s the scariest shit. So glad the car came to rest next to the pit wall away from the racking line.
Alonso is the final driver to have raced against a driver who drove in the 80s (Alesi), also the final driver to race against a driver who raced Senna, Prost etc
Iceman. I used to get up at like 330 in the morning on Sunday to watch kimi race. He was my favorite. It's a shame the mechanical failures he had from 03-05. He should have been a world champion more than once
A few things I’ve picked up is majority of his crashes are either during free practice sessions or qualifying,rarely made huge crashes caused by himself with only Singapore and Brazil being the only one and lastly majority of the crashes he’s been in is either being at the wrong place or time

To be fair that was a very standard rally crash. It's safer to roll a car than coming to a sudden stop.

For most drivers, a compilation of crashes would be an insult. Somehow it feels like a tribute when it's Kimi.
Still.... Kimi destroyed less cars than many other drivers that's for sure. His mechanics, for the most part, rested well over a race weekend.
Unless they were engine mechanics.
