The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen | Kari Hotakainen | Book | Hardback

After all those years - and this biography too - the Iceman continues to be something of an enigma.Hotakaisen teksti on varmasti yksi suurimpia syitä siihen, miksi kirja Kimi Räikkösestä todellisuudessa kiinnostaa minua niin kovin.

Hotakainen ei oikeastaan tiennyt mitään F1-kilpailuista, lukija on joutunut kärsimään niistä niin olohuoneessa, mökillä kuin kahvipöytäkeskusteluissa. Orastavassa teini-iässä päätin, että enää en F1-kisoista kärsi. 30 ikävuoden tienoilla sitä huomaa lukevansa kirjaa F1-kuskista ja oikeasti nauttivansa lukemastaan.

He would instead go for a wander over to his private yacht which was waiting in the harbour, Kimi enjoying the rest of the Monaco Grand Prix from very comfortable surroundings as he chilled out with his pals. Malaysia ice cream Through its gnomic brevity, Haiku articulates the profundity of simple moments or ideas. Fans delight in Raikkonen’s taciturn non-conformity, laced with succinct humour, and in his hands the Haikus open a window to his very soul, for example: Kimi was determined to avoid his fate, but when he went to the bathroom at the 2006 Brazilian GP, he didn’t miss only the Pele-Schumacher ceremony, but also Priestley filling his gloves with this blue powder, so after a demanding, sweaty race at Interlagos, Kimi found himself with blue hands!

Riccardo Parino, PMI Vice President Global Partnerships and Events said: "We never expected that Kimi's Book of Haiku would generate such a buzz. We saw it as a light-hearted but real demonstration of winnowing and an ideal way to engage people about the guiding principles of our initiative. He looks up, down, past the reporters, anywhere except straight at them. For him, dark glasses were invented to protect a man from other people’s eyes, not the sun. Kimistä muodostuu hyvin lämminhenkinen kuva erityisesti kotona perheen seurassa. Tarinat armeijasta, inhimillisistä toilailuista ja perheen muodostuksesta olivat mielenkiintoisimmat.
