Groundhogs, lawnmowers and those classic deadpan comebacks…watch the best of F1’s Iceman as he celebrates his 40th birthday
Thursday 17 October 2019 16:36, UK
There’s no one in Formula 1 quite like Kimi Raikkonen.
The Finn has achieved plenty of success over the best part of two decades in the sport - one world championship, 21 wins and 103 podiums - but it's the unambiguous style that has gone with his racing which has earned him such a cult worldwide following.
So, as the Iceman celebrates his 40th birthday, we recall some of his most famous and fun moments…
Raikkonen showed he wasn't too familiar with the exact names of the local wildlife during practice for the Canadian GP earlier this year…
Fresh from his first F1 victory for more than 100 races at last year's US GP, Kimi showed he wasn't completely on top of the wider permutations as far as the world championship and Lewis Hamilton were concerned...
The Iceman famously has his own unique press conference style - as his response to questions about why he was joining Alfa Romeo perfectly demonstrated!
Which Mercedes was Kimi Raikkonen in front of in the 2017 Russian GP? It definitely wasn't the one he thought it was…
A Sky F1 all-time classic featuring Kimi, as he shows our own team he's just as fast driving an uncompromising lawnmower as he is a pristine F1 car…
Where possible, make a U-turn...Raikkonen has to go the long way around as he attempts to rejoin the track in his Lotus during a crazy 2012 Brazilian GP.
