This silent "emo" demeanor got stale years ago and when he speaks I don't even think Kimi speaks his mind! He just says stuff...I feel embarrassed for him during interviews.. :lol: he just seems lost.

I respect him. I mean It's cool that he did WRC and all, but I feel he just doesn't want to be likable on purpose. I bet he is not very approachable.

I wonder, does he even sign autographs? Has he ever given to charity? :?:

One of the videos on Youtube cearly shows his helmet taken off and sitting in the rear of the car visible from the rear window. I'd link the video I just have a feeling its the one which has his interview about the accident after.

he's had one too many a photographer stand on his ---... or an interviewer carelessly approaching him and knocking over a kid making it look like it was his fault...

Of course since he didn't make some sort of publicity of it, even if he did, it just doesn't count. :wink:

Kimi Raikkonen doesn't owe any charity money. He doesn't owe the media interviews. He has the right to put some idiot on his ass when they step on his belongings and get too close to him. He is not obliged to sign autographs if someone asks, if he feels like it, he will sign, if not, he wont. Simple.

I think so people need to give him a bit of a break. Let him do what he enjoys doing.

He's like the Steven Seagal of racing, + vodka included.
Someone should start making a list of Kimi Raikkonen facts.

Here is a question from an interview with Formula1.com:
Q: One of your favourite charities is SOS Children’s Village Finland. In which district did the charity set up its first village back in 1965?

KR: In Tapiola.

What is so refreshing about giving the answer "I don't care" to everything. That's not refreshing, it's, at best, a lack of imagination and personality, at worst it's just boring, and rude.

I hope you guys didn't read an interview with 'F1 Racing' magazine a short while ago, all he said was 'I don't give a sh*t', or 'I don't care', etc. Image

That's very dissapointing, especially since Felipe Massa was interviewed as well, and he gave complete and detailed responses.

Yeah Kimi needs to have some character when speaking to the press like he should take tips from The Rock when he was a heel when the fans booed him but still loved him because of the way he addressed himself "It doesn't matter what you people think!" :P
