Not as good as Adrian's -- mostly because it wasn't written by a "car guy". But I did enjoy it -- Kimi is a very interesting person.

Just to preface this, I'm not a fan of biographies anyway and Räikönen's hasn't changed that.

You get bits and pieces about Kimi's life but the way that it's describes by Kari Hotakainen is insufferable. You get a small snippet of info that's sandwiches between pages upon pages of nonsense filler and the same ideas regurgitated (I'm looking at you heartrate chapter).

If you're a super big fan of Kimi, sure give it a read but you don't really learn a whole lot here that you wouldn't have known if you follow Kimi and F1 in general.

Dit gaat vooral over zijn entourage en de schrijver. Een teleurstelling…

(Ja… Ik had er graag ook iets positiefs over gezegd)

Interesting to read more about the man, but it's clearly light on actual content from him and the author has tried his best to add additional content to make it up to a decent length. At tube the translation makes the language feel clunky and not quite natural.

Gives interesting insight into a man who likes to keep to himself. Likes the string themes of family
