Kimi Raikkonen - Interviewer's worst nightmare!!

[Spiritual_Beggar]

So, on the BBC's F1 website, they have profiles of all the drivers, and an interview with some random questions.

As you'd expect...some of them are quite imaginative. For example; Lewis reckons if he wasn't an F1 driver, he'd be a Footballer

And then there's Kimi Raikkonen

Check out how "exciting" this guy comes across

Kovalainen says he's never owned a car.

That style of interviewing lends itself to one word or non serious answers. I don't know why journalists do it.

[AJS-]

Another one from the great tradition of Finnish funsters! A style he learned from Hakkinen I guess

[Jungles]

Interesting answers.

I like Alonso's answer to the worst dressed F1 driver: Tonio Liuzzi.

Bourdais would be a computer programmer if he wasn't a racing driver! Quite apt. His answer to the boxer/briefs question is worth a LOL ("I wear both").

Rosberg is quite an academic. Webber calls him, "Britney".

Sutil doesn't know who Keira Knightley is! Get out from under the rock, man!

It's took months for those to come in also LOL.

He's looking very fit, lost weight.

I'll say it now, he'll win the WDC this year, these cars are perfect for him.

Lewis tries to be Mr Cool, Kimi is Mr Ice.

Love the Finn's, if you ever visit you'll find they all talk like this :-)

I know Kimi's type. i work for Nokia so am surrounded by Finns, some like Heikki, some like Kimi. if the interviewer doesn't relax and try to relate to Kimi, it will be a short interview.

Pissed myself laughing at the time - one of the best F1 comments ever!

[kaese]

"What do you think of the race?"

"Errrrs gonna be hot"

I just saw that video of Raikonen pushing over the photographer at Silverstone 08! He's totally out of order I reckon, what a pratt.

If you cannot keep your cool and act with civility toward people, no wonder he had so many crashes and made so many mistakes last season!

Amazing,I'd never seen that before!

[Fidgits]

to be honest, kimi's no less non-commital than kubica..

Have you noticed that the most successful drivers are the ones that put driving as their main interest, whereas the losers are the ones buying watches and hairdressing. Example:

BBC said:

What is the biggest perk of the job?

Piquet said:

I get to visit a lot of nice places in the world, stay in nice hotels and I've got a British Airways gold card!

Fisichella said:

Probably travelling round the world, you get to see so much of it - better than being in an office!

Whereas:

Alonso said:

Driving these amazing cars. We all love motor racing and Formula 1 has the best technology so we are fortunate to be behind the wheel of these cars.

I think he's meant to be quite a cool character and that he just probably couldn't be bothered with a bunch of lame questions.
