A bit harsh.

No.

I remember a while ago that Raikkonen was stated as saying he was having too much fun away from F1. I saw him interviewed a few times on the WRC coverage and he seemed totally different away from the rather staid and commercially orientated world of F1. Can't blame the guy for not returning to F1.

I hope not. He was very boring . I couldn't stand his lack of emotion after winning. This is Formula One, the highest accolade of motorsport so if that doesn't get you excited then get lost. F1 is better that he is gone.

No.

Lost interest after he won his title with Ferrari. The passion seemed to evaporate.

Don't miss his interviews. Sounded like a dalek. :wink:

Excellent racer though, when he wanted to be. Japan 2005 was brilliant, for example.

Yeah!!

He is already in other stuff rally,NASCAR he is into them so much that he doesnt consider F1.Sadly but true.It should also be discussed that if he were back in f1 would it be the same but since hes not back theres no point in talking about this.

Would you return if you were him? Looked like he was not treated well at Ferrari. Once they blamed him for a crash when it was clearly a car failure. McLaren failed to give him a winning car. He deserved to win the 06 title. The stupid tire rules then put the kybosh on that. Overall he seems to have been disappointed with F1. I loved watching him race though. Maybe the most exciting racer for me to watch.

Kimi is not a political animal. It seems you have to be one to race these days. Or else you compromise your beliefs.Or else you get in a load of trouble.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Yeah he would likely not be into any of the commercial obligations a driver has. It's part of what made him such a great racer.

I liked Kimi a lot, For me he was the return of the flying finnish god Mika . But I don't blame him for leaving, life is too short for doing what others want you to do, you must always choose your own path...

Yeah, I pretty much udnerstand why he left F1. There is more stuff to do and the whole F1 atmosphere just wasnt for him, no room there for people with sort of different view

His interviews? You dont miss them? :eek:

I sure do miss them. Ok, he doesnt sound like Lewis or Jenson, but some of his quotes are brilliant.

But something sort of went wrong afte winning the title with Ferrari, it was clear and he`s certainly happier away from F1, so good for him 8-)

Realisticly speaking, why should he come back from where he ran away? And its not like he went away with nice emotions, he was sort of kicked out of Ferrari, so all the stuff there was way too boring for him

2005 was his for the taking, but his engine let him down all too often

But he and his car were easily the fastest combination that season.
