Share
Despite being one of the least talkative drivers in Formula 1, Kimi Raikkonen is undoubtedly one of the most popular – and a glance at his highlights reel in the video above will tell you exactly why the taciturn Finn has so many fans.
The phrase 'he prefers to do his talking on the track' could have been invented for Raikkonen, who burst on to the F1 scene back in 2001 and 20 years later, is still here.
In that time he's wowed us with his incredible speed, some amazing victories – not least that brilliant win from 17th on the grid at Suzuka in 2005 – and of course, by taking that World Championship title from under the noses of McLaren pair Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton in 2007.
Hit play on the video up top to see Raikkonen's top 10 moments of on-track brilliance – including one from last season...
