Kimi Raikkonen: Never Give Up.
Here's an interview with Kimi that was posted on the F1 site today. He's a man of many words.
 Original Source: http://www.formula1.com/news/intervi.../11/14087.html Q: What keeps you awake at night? Kimi Raikkonen: Nothing keeps me awake. I have the ability to sleep well, wherever I am. Q: If you could banish one thing from your life - for the rest of your life - what would that be? KR: There is nothing to be banished. Q: What’s been your most valuable life lesson? KR: Never give up. Q: What do you admire? KR: Those boys from 1960s and early ‘70s in F1. Drivers made from steel in cars made of wood. Q: If you could give your younger self some advice what would it be? KR: Never give up. Q: If your racing career ended this season what would you do with the rest of your life? KR: I have some plans in my mind. I have a life outside racing as well, so it wouldn’t be the end of the world for me. (laughs) Q: What animal best reflects your personality? KR: My German Shepherd dog, Aksu. Q: What is more important than winning? KR: Health. Q: What would you spend your last dollar on? KR: I've got an idea, but it's a secret. (laughs) Q: What is your biggest weakness? KR: Candies, especially Finnish salmiak. Q: What’s your ultimate comfort food? KR: I'm a big friend of sushi dishes. Q: What’s the first thing you do when you get home after a race? KR: I've got a genuine Finnish sauna at home. It's the best place to relax and go through the race. Q: What scares you? KR: I'm not the type of a person who is scared of something. If something is going to happen, it's meant to be that way. Q: What’s the best advice you have been given? KR: Never give up. Q: Are you the man you always thought you would become? KR: Yes I am. My dream was always to become a world champion and that's what I have achieved. Q: What tastes like home? KR: Rye bread and liquorice. Q: When were you happiest? KR: October 21, 2007 in Sao Paulo, Brazil (after winning the world title). Q: If you had to stay in one place for the rest of your life, where would it be? KR: Finland.

Like most race car drivers, no personality.
Still love him though. |

I wonder if he actually has a minor personality or mood disorder. He is so emotionless. He reminds me of someone with high functioning aspergers or maybe he is on a shit-ton of beta blockers or mood stabilizers (SSRI's).
