WATCH: 'Just leave me alone' – The ultimate Kimi Raikkonen team radio collection
Kimi Raikkonen will always be remembered as one of the fastest drivers ever to race in Formula 1. But there’s no denying that the Iceman – who announced his retirement from F1 on Wednesday – has provided more than his fair share of comedy moments on team radio over the years too.
Who could forget Raikkonen’s baffling discussion with his Ferrari engineer about whether or not his drinks bottle was working at Hungary 2018? His furious cries for his “gloves and steering wheel” in Baku in 2017. And of course, the all-time classic to Lotus engineer Simon Rennie at Abu Dhabi in 2012: “Just leave me alone, I know what to do.”
Enjoy all these and more as we bring you the ultimate Kimi Raikkonen radio collection in the video up top.
