Raikkos Make A Special Toast To Kimi – Cheers!

Click here for the large version

This is for you Kimi! It’s just a little something to let you know your fans have and will always support you. So we’re right behind you for the 2009 season and we can’t wait to see you winning again, most of all flying as fast as you do! Keep Flying Kimi – Let’s start in Melbourne! Cheers. Oh and one more thing I’d like to add: I love you, a lot. So whatever happens, we feel your joy or pain together. God bless you! (Don’t worry about the new FIA rule on drivers having to stay after qualifying and the race for the media – we’ll sort them out after!)

I hope the Raikkos who had sent in their photo-toast to Kimi are pleased with the result! I think it’s fantastic, myself. I received far more emails than I imagined so I’m really pleased with the result. Some have also sent in their messages of support and they’re just great – Kimi Raikkonen is the best and so are his fans! Many thanks to all of you for participating!

We’re ardent fans of Kimi and we hope to see more of him on
the podium this year. Best of luck to the fastest driver on the GP circuit. Best
Wishes for a Fab 2009 Kimi!

Hey Kimster!
2009 – it’s a fresh start for you, and for everyone else.
Here’s to hoping you have a great 2009, and that you’ll crush the competition!
Screw the nay-sayers, because you’ll always have your fans to support and
believe in you! We’ll always be here to share your ups & downs in
Formula One (whether you like it or not ), and just know that when it feels
that it’s you against the entire world, it’s actually you + millions of us
against them. Have a spectacular season, Kimi. No matter what happens,
we’re here. (By the way, I hope you have a better race in Singapore
this year… I’ll shave down those kerbs myself if it comes down to it. I
promise. Just gimme a buzz.)
~ Andrea (Ladora) – Singapore

Kimi, I wish you all the best on this season. Please
race as you know and all of us, your fans, really enjoy. Salud! Cheers! Skål!
~ Maggie – Mexico

Good Luck in 2009 Kimi! You’re forever a Champion
and my hero.
~ Tina (KimiFan08) – USA

Kimi, have a great season. 2009 should be yours. Our best
wishes go out to you. Enjoy driving and the rest is God’s wish. Keep it up.The
Flying Finn.
~ Ranbir Singh – India

This year is going to be tough with all the new things. But
we still have belief in our Iceman- a true racer. Good luck Kimi, and welcome to Australia
again.
~ Emma LianLian – Australia

It was great what Kimi did for the fans through the winter
break and how he enjoyed it. I love to see him smiling – Iceman, who believes
him? So, keep flying, Kimi. Show them all, who`s the best. We
Raikkos already knew. Let the winning begin!
~ Iva – Czech Republic

Fly Kimi fly!!!
~ Hadadi Zoltán – Hungary

Hi! We like Formula 1 and Kimi so much. We wish him good
luck and very happy moments!
~ Iva & Velislav – Bulgaria.

Dear Kimi, 2009 – another driver champion chance for you! What is your goal? Most pole position + most fastest lap + most win + most points
= 2009 Driver World Champion. This is not a dream! Yes! You can do it! Hold your chance tight! Don’t
give chance to your rival! No excuses! Just go for it! You have my full support!
~ YUSS590 – Malaysia

Until September 2008, I knew nought about F1.  It was only then (when F1 came to Singapore)
that a short article in a Chinese newspaper reported how all F1 drivers
progressed from junior races to F1, with the exception of a ‘super-talent’
named Kimi Räikkönen.  So I knew I had to
watch out for him. I watched the race live on TV.  At first you were among the front, but the
infamous Massa incident pushed you
right to the back.  But you fought all
the way back to fourth.  With four more
laps to go, I was hoping you would push to third, or even second, or even first!  But alas, we knew what happened next.  I felt really disappointed, even though I
hardly even knew you.  Funny, it was
after the Singapore
race that I decided to find out more about your career and life. There are
countless websites and YouTube features dedicated to you, more than I could
ever finish reading/watching.  Now I know
why you are special – you are such an awesome driver, and a marvellous man with
such a great personality.  You never
complain, and always find strength to fight to the end.  You even lend support to your teammate,
though you are the champion. So what if the media complain that you do not
talk, I just find your short remarks so apt and funny.  I also see that you live your life to the fullest;
enjoying doing things you like doing and will not care about what other people
think of you.  You are extraordinary as a
person and sportsman, standing out from all the rest.  If not for you, I would not be following F1
so closely. With fiercer determination and a car you are happy with, I
believe you will be top again, where you truly belong.  It is a shame that I missed the opportunity
to share the joy you had in 2007.  But I
am sure all your fans will be so proud of you in 2009, when you will be
champion again!  We know that you are the best and you know that you are the best! P.S.  Let us applaud
Saima for doing such a good job, and letting us have the opportunity to make a
toast to Kimi, expressing our heartfelt feeling for our hero!
~ Hazel Yeong – Singapore

Kimi Raikkonen, what can I say about you, your luck. What can I say about how
much happiness flew inside me when I saw you cross the line with your red car
winning a race. Much more happiness flew inside me when I saw you attacking
your rivals. All I can do is pray for you and wish you all the best luck ever.
You deserve more than two world championships, so we will accept two for now.
Keep flying Kimi and do not stop.
Special regards and thanks to you Saima.
~ Tareq Khury – Syria

Here’s to you Kimi! 
Best of luck for 2009!  We all
hope to see you at the top by the end of the season.  If not, your still the best out there as far
as I’m concerned.  Don’t  stop being yourself and don’t forget there’s
a lot fans pulling for you no matter what. 
Go get ’em Kimi!  Keep Flying!
Thanks,
~ Anthony Lenzer – USA

I am rather excited about the new shirt I designed hot off
the press! My neighbour screen printed it for me, so I proudly show off my
"world premier" Kimi shirt. Kimi is No. 1, has always been the number 1 to us and will
win back car number 1 this season! Good Luck Kimi! Let’s kick start 2009 with a toast and
salute to you! See you at Albert Park, Melbourne!
~ Trixie Marshall

Go Kimi for the second world title! I can’t wait to see you
winning and driving flat out again!
Thanks,
~ Kinga – Hungary

This year 2009 will be the most beautiful of all,
the year of all victories! I wish you all the best, the Raikkos are ready as ever
to follow you. Cheers but with orange juice of course! Keep flying Kimi!
~ Marilyne – France

I hope that this will be your best season ever! I hope that
you will be rewarded for your hard work and that you will really enjoy your
racing as much as I enjoy watching you! I hope that you will experience good
health, happiness, a magnificent car set up to your taste, supporting team
members, no mechanical failures, good luck and an overall enjoyment of F1 (even
with the ever-present reporters around you). I don’t want to put too much pressure on you, but I would
very much like to see you being crowned World Champion again! Do you think you
can help me out?
~ Suzette Botha – South Africa

2009 will definitely be another challenging season for you,
with new rules, etc. We know that you can’t wait to start the 2009 season as you
are fully prepared during the pre-season testings including other off-track
activities. We have faith that you will produce another remarkable season in
2009; bouncing back to re-coup the 2008 “Luck-less” season by winning more
races and podiums, another fastest lap award and of course, your second WDC. This toast is especially for you to start the new season
this weekend in Melbourne. Wishing you a wonderful free practice on Friday, a trouble
free qualifying Saturday & pole position that ends with a perfect racing
day with victory on Sunday. Not forgotten, a joyful celebration with your team
and continue smiling as we can see that you a lot happier with Ferrari now! It’s a pleasure to follow you each season, through the highs
and the lows. You’re the best out there.
Keep flying Kimi!
~ Nf1011 – Malaysia

Brother Kimi, here’s a toast to start the new 2009 season, with more
winning races and another WDC. Good luck and you are always the best!
Your youngest fan,
~ Aiman1712 – Malaysia

Hey, Kimi! I’m so excited that finally 2009 season almost started – I
have been waiting for it so long. I wish you all the best and I honestly hope
that everything will go according to your plan and after first, second and so
on races and the most important thing, after last race in Abu Dhabi we can once
again celebrate WDC 🙂 It was real pleasure to see you so happy and the self-satisfaction
in your face 🙂 However, I will support you no matter what. I believe in
you! And everything will be just OK! Just be how you are 😉
Lots of support and respect,
~ Agniukas

We hope to have a lot of fun with Kimi in the 2009 Season.
Keep flying, see you at the German GP 😉
~ George and Thomas – Hockenheim/Germany

Keep flying Kimi!
