What I do not have in Finland are the high mountains and it is really beautiful! Also it is quiet and nice here and that is good for relaxing. Up till now I have tried some different winter sports and winter toys."
Kimi has plenty of time enjoying the Swiss Alps as it currently is a long winterbreak in Formula One. Since childhood Kimi Raikkonen has always liked extreme sports involving anything with an engine, like skidoos, jetskies, Moto-X. That is what he likes to do for his free time, anything that has a challenge! Seeing the way he pushes everything from the snowboard to the skidoo to the limit it comes as no surprise!
-How do you look back at your Formula One career so far?
"Well, I never really expected to come into it so quickly, specially not into one of the best teams. It has really gone the right way so far and I hope it will continue! It is great to be able to drive in the top teams, as you would have the possibility to win the races and also try to win the championships."
-How do you feel about your new teammate?
"Well, Filipe Massa and I get along very well, but of course he will try to beat me and I will try to beat him! He has a lot of experience and it is too early to speculate the outcome. Anyway, I feel very much at home with the new situation, the Ferrari team and my teammate etc and I really look forward to the new season!"
Kimi Raikkonen moved to Switzerland shortly after starting his career in Formula One.
-How are you enjoying your new country?
"I really enjoy my living in Switzerland compared to my third home in Monaco and I feel very much at home here. In Monaco the houses are very close to each other, but in Switzerland there is so much private space and it reminds me of my own country Finland. Also I like Switzerland because of the high level of living and it is like feeling at home!
