'I loved it. I thought it was fascinating - really, really
interesting story that he's got to tell... This book gives us that
insight [into the Kimi Raikkoenen world]... If you have even the
mildest interest and intrigue about Kimi...then you need to go and
get this book and read it. I've known him for years and I
learned an awful lot.' -- Marc Priestley
'Raikkoenen's monosyllabic nature during TV interviews has earned
him millions of fans and this authorised biography by Kari
Hotakainen sees him open up on his personal and professional life,
together with never-seen-before pictures. It is a great
insight into Raikkoenen with a combination of his home life and
Formula One stories from behind the scenes and some of the
biggest moments in his career.' * Daily Express *
'Enigmatic and private, Ferrari's former world champion driver
rarely opens up to outsiders, but he granted Hotakainen
exclusive access to his world and his way of thinking ...
With all the raw excitement of Formula One and the insight
of the best biographies, this will delight all fans of
motorsport and those who have long revered the elusive Finn.' *
Blackpool Gazette *
'Conceptually this is perhaps the least likely book ever to have
been scripted - and therein lies its appeal ... This is an attempt
to portray the real Kimi Raikkoenen, warts and all, and it
does so in a balanced manner.' * Motorsport Magazine *
'Childhood poverty, running away from military service to make a
race, and going on benders between Formula One races are some of
the revelations in this new book that sheds light on the life of
usually taciturn Finnish driver Kimi Raikkoenen.' * Reuters *
