1. AUTUMN 2007
Kimi Räikkönen has just landed in Finland from Italy where Ferrari held him a WDC-party. The man's other foot was although already on his private plane's steps because he wanted to be among his own people in Finland.

They waited for the WDC in nightclub Bläk.

Already before the party I called singer Matti Esko at home. He had just come from the sauna. I asked if he could come and sing one of Kimi's favourite songs, Rekkamies. The singer said it would be an honour.

When Kimi stepped in the nightclub he and his guests heard Rekkamies. Because Kimi loves karaoke, he also took a microphone in his hand and the evening turned out to be filled with karaoke. Kimi was relaxed, his funny own self, straightworded joker.

That's what Kimi is like - when he is among his own people. On the F1-paddock you can hardly get a word out of his mouth.

2. CHILDHOOD
Kimi's childhood was happy. Kimi was a lively rascal who had speed in his blood ever since he was little.

3. MOTHER
Paula-mother is really important to Kimi and she has kept her feet on the ground despite the success.

Paula went to the same Finnish-Russian school as I did and 14 years ago she called me and told about her son's karting hobby. Paula hinted that I could maybe make an article about Kimi. Which I did - and boy has there been enough of subjects after that!

4. FATHER
Matti-father is funny and witty - Kimi has inherited the same features from him.

5. BROTHER
Rami-brother has inherited his temper from his mother. He is extrovert, takes other in consideration, he is social and always smiling.

6. FRIENDS
Kimi's friends are those old friends who have always travelled with him in life. Those 4-5 original blokes are Kimi's source of life, they mean the world to him.

7. FORMULA FRIENDS
Kimi doesn't have many friends in the F1-circles because he is only interested in racing. Sebastian Vettel is Kimi's good friend just like Robert Kubica and Heikki Kovalainen.

8. RON DENNIS
At McLaren Kimi had huge different point of views with Ron Dennis. The team principal was a perfectionist - also when it came to everything being cleanliness. Kimi didn't fly to the GP's in Ron's plane. Kimi said that if you so much as sneeze there's someone immediately spraying disinfection stuff in the air.

9. MIKA HÄKKINEN
Mika and Kimi were friends at first when Kimi went to McLaren. They also had partys together - even at that time when Kimi fell from his boat's upperdeck in Hankoo.

10. FERRARI
Kimi has said ever since he was a little boy that his dream team is Ferrari.

11. MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
As a man walking his own paths Kimi didn't need Schumacher's help. Once Kimi said that he couldn't care less about Schumi's opinions.

12. JENNI
Jenni travelled in the beginning with Kimi to GP's but she hasn't been seen there in the last years. Jenni has concentrated on horseback riding that Kimi supports. Jenni is a dear wife, friend and insipiration to Kimi.

12. MARRIAGE
The couple's 5 year marriage has lasted despite Kimi's snatches. Jenni is a strong woman but the blunders of her man have hurt her from time to time. Matters have been discussed and they have continued together.

14. WOMEN
There has always been women around Kimi who have tried to get pictures they could sell to the papers. In the beginning Kimi was frustrated over the secret photos but he decided a long time ago that he wouldn't care.

15. MONEY
Although Kimi has money it still doesn't show other than when he buys yachts, houses, cars and all sorts of gadgets. He has has helped his parents and his brother financially because they sacrificed a lot back in the days for Kimi's career. In pubs with friends Kimi always pays the bill.

16. BOOZE
Kimi takes drinks in his free time in bars - and he loves Ville Vallaton and Lonkero. He is very loud when partying but only when he is with friends - and when he sings karaoke. Kimi can party many days in a row but recovers surprisingly fast.

17. SWITZERLAND
Switzerland is a place for Kimi where he is not so known. That's what he likes about it. Kimi bought a 20 million euros house in Bar this year. In that building that looks like a big castle the man can be in peace.

18. LITTLE BOY
Kimi who left back in the times school is still from time to time like a little boy. Although he doesn't go to fairy ballet anymore like he did when he was small his behaviour is sometimes like a child's - and Kimi can also be difficult just like a defiance puppy.

19. WINNING
Kimi has always said that only victory matters. No matter what genre, Kimi hates to lose.

20. BEHAVIOUR
In the beginning of his career Kimi couldn't really behave in the international circles. He was completely lost at times. Little by little he started to learn the manners and behaves today like a man of the world: gives kisses on the cheek and stands up when a woman comes to the table. Jenni has trained her man.

21. LANGUAGE SKILLS
Kimi doesn't often get to talk Finnish except when he is with friends and that's when he becomes really talkative. In public he expresses himself best in English.

22. PUBLICITY
Kimi hates publicity and would rather stay away from the spotlight.

23. AS A FRIEND
As a friend Kimi is spectacular! Friends mean everything to him. If someone close to Kimi needs help, the man does everything in his power to help. Kimi is fair and a man of his words.

24. HUMOUR GUY
Believe it or not, Kimi is quite the joker. He can play with words, twist jokes and be funny - when he is among people he knows.

25. ICEMAN
Iceman is Kimi's nickname but when he turns his charming switch on people absolutely love him. He melts even older women with his charm.

26. KIMI LOVES
His closest people and his friends.

27. WHAT WHEN BIG?
Kimi wants to help children and youngsters in different sports.

29. VANITY
Kimi is vain only when he buys the most expensive gadgets in the world. Ever since little Kimi was taught at home that money does not grow on trees. Kimi is not proud - you might get that impression of him just because he stays quiet in public.

30. WORLD CHAMPION
One WDC already came. Now we are waiting for the next one - in which genre, only Kimi Räikkönen knows that.
