remember the time when everyone else was lapped, and only 2 cars were racing? good times. to me F1 is just a joke now.
Kimi must come back!!!!
That 2014 Ferrari is one of the ugliest cars ever to have graced the tracks. The front end looks like an NHL players nose.
If you want to win, hire a Fin
At least in my circles no one ever liked Kimi Räikkönen for some reason, i always found him hilarious. Dont know how other Finns outside my circles felt about him because i have never really followed or paid attention to our sportsmedia etc. But reading comments on the F! videos on youtube really does warm me to see so many people liking him.
The Finnish character is well suited to racing, where you have to be a little surprisingly calm so that you can fully concentrate on driving
No, most roads outside of the large cities are not unpaved. Only a part of some very rural small roads are unpaved. I don't want people to get the wrong idea – this isn't russia.
the title of your video should be “ most likely nation to succeed in f1”
aside from your brief cursory historical intro, your very first lines at minute 2:20 begins with almost verbatim to what google states .
“ If you take all the roads in Finland, they add up to around 454,000 kilometres. Of those, approximately 350,000 kilometres are either unpaved private or forest roads. This is one of the highest proportions of gravel to asphalt roads in western Europe and that's why the Finns are so good at driving on them. instead of wasting 38 minutes on your video. go watch the top gear episode from over 20 years ago when james may on top gear went to visit hakinnen in finland when they talked about driving and “ sisou”. much more entertaining and informative. that 2 decades old top gear segment pre dates your regurgitated facts.
Very good work and many details I have forgot. We Finns tend to rate Nico as more than half a Finn due to Keke, of course. Keke by the way declared that he would stop after his first championship years in advance.
I feel a bit sad about your view about Bottas. He was never meant to beat Lewis and I think he got to grips with that and behaved like a gentleman too. Not easy, just look at the situation with Max.
The last year with Mercedes must have been mentally hard for Bottas due to the immense British presure to have him replaced by a Brit.
There is a national value with success in F1 too and Finnish drivers have never had much power or money from that connection and also not that many rich fathers either.
For Bottas and Alfa Romeo I think he has been decent again keeping up hope but seriously it's a motor sport and you cannot demand a jockey to be fully content and dedicated given a three legged horse
It is also possible that he has given his all to Alfa Romeo while also supporting his team mate.

Keiho Rossperk, the best race driver ever.
4:15 Jeesh that was bad. Even after hearing it few times I just couldn't make up what was said. From pictures I figured out 😁
Fun fact, my father in law owns Leo Kinnunen´s old W140 S-Class Mercedes that the bought in the 90s,
Want to win? Hire a Finn.
full of bull.. shit. It is more complex than ur shit.
I cannot understand why Finland would be the least likely successful nation in F1. What about Sweden? Norway? Iceland? etc.
The population is only 5,5 million. Percentually Finland has done well.
Honourable mention, Nico Rosberg (2016 F1 Champion) son Of Keke Rosberg (1982 F1 Champion). Nico is half Finish half-German but raced under the German Flag.
Kimi made the fírst Ferrari deal during 2005 and bad 2006 had nothing to do with it.
Hans Laine was also great driver, but die on racing.
Hockey, driving all kinds of cars and keeping a low profile – the Finnish trifecta.
I think Rosbergs world championships win in 1982 was amazing when win from competition gave 10 points, 2nd place 6 points and 3rd place 4 points going down 1 point 'till 6th place. He won 1 race! Sure, there was accident of other competitor that made big affect, but that's kind of thing with cars that goes fast AF.
Nice video but it is just the surface as more is to become..
Australia does ok considering we're on the other side of the planet where open wheel racing really isn't a thing.
In the history of the WRC, 141 world championship podium places have been awarded. 48 of them have been taken by a Finn. That's how seriously we take motorsport 😉
