The Kimi Raikkonen Space (Windows Live Spaces) is a fansite created by a Kimi Raikkonen fan called Evenstar Saima. It’s purpose is to provide all Kimi fans interested in the latest news about his career, along with other miscellany such as wallpapers, interviews, videos, tributes and most popular are the GP highlight videos which are made specifically for Kimi fans. This fansite holds the biggest photo collections of Kimi than any other. It also includes accurate statistics that are updated consistantly throughout a season. You will also find general news, usually news most relevant to Kimi’s career (which will take a turn from F1 to Rallying in 2010).
In her years of support for the Flying Finn, Evenstar was voted The Biggest Kimi fan on the Official Kimi Raikkonen Forum in 2005 and 2007. The popular F1Fanatic blog also shared similar sentiments. Ever since Evenstar began enjoying Formula One from around 1999, her passion for the sport and for her favourite driver grows. She found writing the best form of expressing this through race reports and articles on Kimi’s career. Deciding to put them to use here and share them with fans all over the world, Evenstar combined her Journalism studies and her love for F1 and the Kimi Raikkonen Space was born in the summer of 2005.
Along with her writing skills, Evenstar has put to great use of her creative talent through to producing her very own F1 season highlight videos for fans to watch, some reaching nearly 1000 downloads. During the middle of 2008 however, the videos had to be stopped due to other personal and important errands. Art has also been a long time passion as Evenstar finds inspiration from F1 and Kimi. This led to the Kimi fan shop which had a successful start in 2008 with the one and only Kimi calendar designed and created especially for fans, being distributed all over the world in USA, Australia, Europe and parts of Asia. The trend continued with the 2009 Limited Edition calendar, where only 50 were produced and all have been sold out. During the official opening of the Ferrari Store in London on 6th May 2009, Evenstar received Kimi Raikkonen’s autograph on her calendar.
For 2009, KRS hopes to make an even bigger year for Kimi’s fans by promising to remain the No.1 Kimi fansite with visitors from all over the world. The highlight videos will be making a return to tell the story of Kimi’s third season at Ferrari, with dramatic changes to the cars such as the KERS system and aerodynamics. Fans can easily and comfortably discuss Kimi’s season online and share their own photos in the KRS Forum.
Where KRS is headed:
It was announced in the late evening of 17th November 2009 that Kimi is to take a sabbatical from F1 in 2010. However, in 2010 the Iceman will be participating in the World Rally Championship for the first time, with Citroen after their new deal was announced on 4th December 2009. KRS will remain a loyal fan base and continue sharing the latest on Kimi and his other plans. Poster calendars will also be on sale for next year.
When the retirement of Kimi Raikkonen is announced, KRS
will remain to serve as an archive and the place of great memories that
the fans have shared together in admiration for Kimi Raikkonen.

F1_Maniac wrote: "I just wanted to personally thank you so much Evenstar.. You’re the sweetest, I’m a huge Kimi and now Evenstar fan from the US (where we don’t get much of anything on F1 except the race). I watched all your videos over and over again, the way you edit the images and video clips of Kimi together along with the right music is just phenomenal. And the way that you almost tell the story of the Grand Prix weekends from preparations to the podium celebration is so accurate. Once again, thank you so much and what a season to finish with the Iceman on the top. Great year from Kimi and you. Thanks."
Sipio wrote: "I keep watching the ‘Brazil 2007 – Kimi World Champion’ video over and over because it’s so beautiful. I so love it with the music when they lower Kimi’s car in the pitbox to go attack, and then in that final lap when Kimi crosses the finish line,you hear a Finnish commentator screaming all that emotion, it’s so awesome and brings tears in my eyes over and over again."
Aiman wrote: "Kimi no.1! Kimi no. 1! Yeah Yeah Yeah! Thoroughly enjoyed your brave enthusiam for Kimi among Hamilton fans in the video."

OldeWalde wrote: "I’m sure Kimi will dedicate his victory to your loyal support next time he visits your dreams! If Ferrari haven’t noticed your wondeful site they are missing out! And if Kimi hasn’t heard about you yet it’s because he holds his friends very close and they protect his privacy so carefully. Thank you for your input through the year. Follow the dream!"
