S1 Ep107: How Kimi Raikkonen Became F1's...

Donut
About this episode

Today, on Past Gas, the epic and long-as-hell career of the Flying Finn, Kimi Raikkonen. Kimi Raikkonen is one of the most beloved Formula One drivers, a celebrated “Iceman” with an open hatred for doing interviews and one of the most meme-able personalities in the paddock. What makes him tick, and why has he stuck it out in Formula One for so long, considering that he’s on record saying that driving is “more like a hobby for me”? Is Kimi F1’s most underrated legend?
