From Iltasanomat – by Rita Tainola (close family friend of the Räikkonens)

1. Autumn 2007

Kimi Räikkönen has just landed in Finland from Italy where Ferrari held
him a WDC-party. The man’s other foot was although already on his
private plane’s steps because he wanted to be among his own people in
Finland.

They waited for the WDC in nightclub Bläk.


Already before the party I called singer Matti Esko at home. He had
just come from the sauna. I asked if he could come and sing one of
Kimi’s favourite songs, Rekkamies. The singer said it would be an
honour.


When Kimi stepped in the nightclub he and his guests heard
Rekkamies. Because Kimi loves karaoke, he also took a microphone in his
hand and the evening turned out to be filled with karaoke. Kimi was
relaxed, his funny own self, straightworded joker.



That’s what Kimi is like – when he is among his own people. On the F1-paddock you can hardly get a word out of his mouth.


2. Childhood


Kimi’s childhood was happy. Kimi was a lively rascal who had speed in his blood ever since he was little.


3. Mother


Paula-mother is really important to Kimi and she has kept her feet on the ground despite the success.

Paula went to the same Finnish-Russian school as I did and 14 years
ago she called me and told about her son’s karting hobby. Paula hinted
that I could maybe make an article about Kimi. Which I did – and boy
has there been enough of subjects after that!


4. Father


Matti-father is funny and witty – Kimi has inherited the same features from him.


5. Brother

Rami-brother has inherited his temper from his mother. He is
extrovert, takes other in consideration, he is social and always
smiling.


6. Friends

Kimi’s friends are those old friends who have always travelled with
him in life. Those 4-5 original blokes are Kimi’s source of life, they
mean the world to him.


7. Formula One Friends

Kimi doesn’t have many friends in the F1-circles because he is only
interested in racing. Sebastian Vettel is Kimi’s good friend just like
Robert Kubica and Heikki Kovalainen.


8. Ron Dennis

At McLaren Kimi had huge different point of views with Ron Dennis.
The team principal was a perfectionist – also when it came to
everything being cleanliness. Kimi didn’t fly to the GP’s in Ron’s
plane. Kimi said that if you so much as sneeze there’s someone
immediately spraying disinfection stuff in the air.


9. Mika H
äkkinen

Mika and Kimi were friends at first when Kimi went to McLaren. They
also had partys together – even at that time when Kimi fell from his
boat’s upperdeck in Hankoo.


10. Ferrari


Kimi has said ever since he was a little boy that his dream team is Ferrari.


11. Michael Schumacher

As a man walking his own paths Kimi didn’t need Schumacher’s help.
Once Kimi said that he couldn’t care less about Schumi’s opinions.


12. Jenni

Jenni travelled in the beginning with Kimi to GP’s but she hasn’t
been seen there in the last years. Jenni has concentrated on horseback
riding that Kimi supports. Jenni is a dear wife, friend and
insipiration to Kimi.


12. Marriage

The couple’s 5 year marriage has lasted despite Kimi’s snatches.
Jenni is a strong woman but the blunders of her man have hurt her from
time to time. Matters have been discussed and they have continued
together.


14. Women

There has always been women around Kimi who have tried to get
pictures they could sell to the papers. In the beginning Kimi was
frustrated over the secret photos but he decided a long time ago that
he wouldn’t care.


15. Money

Although Kimi has money it still doesn’t show other than when he
buys yachts, houses, cars and all sorts of gadgets. He has has helped
his parents and his brother financially because they sacrificed a lot
back in the days for Kimi’s career. In pubs with friends Kimi always
pays the bill.

16. Booze


Kimi takes drinks in his free time in bars – and he loves Ville
Vallaton and Lonkero. He is very loud when partying but only when he is
with friends – and when he sings karaoke. Kimi can party many days in a
row but recovers surprisingly fast.


17. Switzerland

Switzerland is a place for Kimi where he is not so known. That’s
what he likes about it. Kimi bought a 20 million euros house in Bar
this year. In that building that looks like a big castle the man can be
in peace.


18. Little Boy

Kimi who left back in the times school is still from time to time
like a little boy. Although he doesn’t go to fairy ballet anymore like
he did when he was small his behaviour is sometimes like a child’s –
and Kimi can also be difficult just like a defiance puppy.


19. Winning


Kimi has always said that only victory matters. No matter what genre, Kimi hates to lose.


20. Behaviour

In the beginning of his career Kimi couldn’t really behave in the
international circles. He was completely lost at times. Little by
little he started to learn the manners and behaves today like a man of
the world: gives kisses on the cheek and stands up when a woman comes
to the table. Jenni has trained her man.


21. Language Skills

Kimi doesn’t often get to talk Finnish except when he is with
friends and that’s when he becomes really talkative. In public he
expresses himself best in English.


22. Publicity


Kimi hates publicity and would rather stay away from the spotlight.


23. As A Friend

As a friend Kimi is spectacular! Friends mean everything to him. If
someone close to Kimi needs help, the man does everything in his power
to help. Kimi is fair and a man of his words.


24. Humour Guy


Believe it or not, Kimi is quite the joker. He can play with words, twist jokes and be funny – when he is among people he knows.


25. Iceman

Iceman is Kimi’s nickname but when he turns his charming switch on
people absolutely love him. He melts even older women with his charm.


26. Kimi Loves


His closest people and his friends.


27. What, When, Big?


Kimi wants to help children and youngsters in different sports.


29. Vanity

Kimi is vain only when he buys the most expensive gadgets in the
world. Ever since little Kimi was taught at home that money does not
grow on trees. Kimi is not proud – you might get that impression of him
just because he stays quiet in public.


30. World Champion


One WDC already came. Now we are waiting for the next one – in which genre, only Kimi Räikkönen knows that.
