The first new F1 video in years, and what a challenge. Kimi Räikkönen, a legend of Formula 1 and someone who was there purely for driving. When he was behind the wheel, he was the happiest. No media, no politics. Only racing. First, he went on a mission to McLaren, to replace Mika Häkkinen and bring championship glory to the team. But that never happened due to the reliability issues. So, he followed the footsteps of the legendary Michael Schumacher and moved to Ferrari. And that was it. He won the championship right away back in 2007. After a break, for his second half of his career, he joined Lotus, Ferrari again and Sauber (Alfa Romeo), and that is when we really got to know his funny side. As of now (2022), he is the last Ferrari champion. But he should have won many more titles. Just his pure speed, talent, and determination. He was just so fast.
I hope you enjoy this video. This really was the biggest challenge since Michael's tribute, and it's a bit different again. It's been my first tribute video in 6 years, so I hope you like it! Please share and comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And on a personal note, I must admit that I was never a huge fan of Kimi. I always liked his speed, but I couldn't find my way to him. However, after making this video, that has changed as I finally understood him. His pure passion for driving and racing. That is so admirable. Thank you, Kimi, for your wonderful career, the memories and all the good fun. Your legacy is unquestionable.

Formula 1 is a world of glamour, passion and excitement. With some incredible stories and tales, many of which have good endings but there are even some sad ones. Only the best of the best can drive those beasts around all the challenging tracks in the world - from Monaco to Suzuka. Legends like Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Lauda, Prost, Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton... just hearing these names gives you "goosebumps"! And only true fans can understand why we sit in front of our TVs from March until November and watch the greatest drivers in the world chasing that championship trophy. It's a long journey, but only a few can achieve their dreams.
Formula 1 is also my big passion. I have followed this sport for more than 20 years. While we may never understand feelings of racing drivers, we, fans, have some special feelings too, when we see our favourites succeeding. And that is something hard to describe as well. Then comes "When Words Are Not Enough" as I try to share my passion and represent all the emotions to you, the fans. To never forget those special moments. Thank you, everyone, for your great support. I'm doing those videos only for you, and it's a pleasure.
