Kimi fans | Hakkinen Warned Kimi

Let’s have a look at these different, loyal and encouraging motto’s and sayings from different Kimi fan communities. Because I have seen a lot of so called fans lose faith in Kimi, and that’s just wrong seeing as how he always came through the tough times in all his F1 seasons, with pole positions and podiums and even victories.

Hakkinen’s warning to Raikkonen
Double world champion Mika Hakkinen says he advised countryman Kimi Raikkonen to stick with McLaren rather than switch to the Ferrari team. Hakkinen, who won back to back titles with Ron Dennis’ Mercedes-powered outfit in 1998 and 1999, told the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti that he feared Raikkonen would struggle to adapt to the atmosphere at Ferrari.

"I
warned him that changing teams might not go well for him"the
38-year-old, whose McLaren seat in 2002 was filled by Raikkonen, said.

Hakkinen said: "Unfortunately for Kimi, my forecasts are being fulfilled."

Hakkinen stuck stoically with McLaren throughout the 90s, even through
difficult times in the wake of Ayrton Senna’s departure and the
unsettled beginning of the Mercedes-Benz period.

But he said: "Winning the world championship is like a spider-web,
which needs many threads, and time. "Of course it is true that
McLaren’s recent past had some problems, but it is a team that has
always had the capacity to recover.

"It is possible that Kimi has not measured the risks (of joining
Ferrari) too well because it looks like being a difficult year for him.

"Also the McLaren car has evolved a lot in the past races, and winning titles can depend a lot on minor factors.

"In this game there are many excellent drivers, so Kimi cannot rely exclusively on his talent," Hakkinen said.

Unfortunatly, Mika was/is right. I didn’t want
Kimi to leave McLaren for these very reasons; I knew that they would
come back and be stronger, and all Kimi needed was a little more
patience. Despite being their driver for 5 years, you can say his
patience had worn thin and rightly so, he passionatly wants to win and
felt he was missing out. He did miss out on two world championships due
to their poor reliability. Kimi signed to Ferrari early on, though, so
listening to Mika was useless as he already signed the contract in the
summer of 2005. The rumours only began in early 2006 so Mika was too
late to advise the little flying Finn. However, we can only support and
hope that Kimi makes it through this tricky time.
