  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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 😉
