    I am starting a thread to salute Kimi on his last race in F1. Maybe he races again in another discipline?

    Please add your thoughts . . .

    It was coming for some time. I'll be very sad when he's gone from f1. I hope to see him in perhaps Le mans

    Bye Kimi. NO loss at all. You were fired by Ferrari and should have not been allowed back into the team. Ridiculous.

    So he hates talking to the press lol. So what. Part of the job and what your paid to do.

    No loss at all.

    He has been a NON factor for years now.

    The amount of money wasted on him by Ferrari was absurd.

    He was on track to be beaten my Massa 2 out of 3 years LOL> Thats his legacy.

    The romantic uselessness surrounding his departure is pathetic. He had 1 title that Massa got out of his way for in Brazil. His career is what happens when you under-perform and are considerably over - rated.

    He's been my favorite driver in F1 since JPM left. Both guys speak their minds and don't care what others think and are fast as heck. Both race in whatever...makes no difference to them as long as it's racing.

    I found him funny but his glorified disrespectful attitude isn’t a good example .
    Great career and driver. May he have a great life after racing.

    The last Ferrari WDC …
    So sincere.
    I believe his most impressive year in Formula One was 2005 with McLaren …:D
    Never forgotten because champion with the Scuderia.

    Yep, this weekend.

    I have no idea why Camilleri was present but only to say he was the ex-Ferrari CEO.

    Kimi Raikkonen stepped down in 2010 and left Formula One as he wanted new challenge in Rally. Two years later in 2012 Kimi Raikkonen made a comeback to F1 driving for Lotus F1 Team this time.

    It should be noted, here: that no less the Great Michael Schumacher was fired by Ferrari, too. In Michael's case, probably 2 years too soon.
