Kimi Raikkonen.?

Question

Good, bad or over-rated??

My personal opinion is incredible, but truthfully what do you lot think of him? Honesty plz!!

Answer 1

He's quick, but he seems to have lost some of his motivation since he won the title last year. Massa shouldn't be showing Raikkonen the way as often as he does.

Answer 2

Experienced and "ice cold."

Answer 3

I think he's awesome but looking increasingly bored of the F1 circus.

I have admired his restraint and car control since his steering wheel came off in his hands at Imola and his general manhandling of the Sauber into places it should not have been on the grid. Although I was disappointed in the manner in which he won his title (McLaren's lost it rather than him WINNING it) it was long time coming for all the disappointments (and spectacular crashes and incidents) he had to endure at McLaren.

He is an incredibly skillful driver but sometimes lets his louche nature get the better of him. He needs a challenge, to drive something unpredictable and awkward that he can throw in a wall and drag to the finish line, put the man in NASCAR for gods sake! (Joke!)

Answer 4

I think he is the fastest driver so far this season. He has a very natural talent for driving a car quick.

Answer 5

He is very talented as driver!

Focused on track. True "Iceman"!!

Answer 6

I think he's a deserving world champion. Not as good as he was in his Mclaren days though..

Answer 7

easy-go-lucky person.

>thanks for the TDs! easy-go-lucky means cool, relaxed, without any tension, everything is fine whatever happens... that makes his personality unique to other race drivers.

drinking on weekends and winning the following race. An example of a cool racer!

Answer 8

He's in the "very good" category at the moment - he rarely has an "off" weekend (unlike Hamilton), and has learned how to drive below the limit when the pressure is off (which Senna and Mansell never got the hang of). However, he still makes mistakes and still makes his car work very hard when he's trying to go quickly - lucky for him that he's in an amazingly reliable car.

He's probably the second best driver in F1 at the moment, after Alonso. In the grand scheme of things, he MIGHT just squeeze into my top 30 of all-time, but it would be a close thing.
