During the (boring) Spanish Grand Prix this past weekend, something special took place on lap thirty seven. The record for most miles driven at racing speed in F1 history was broken.
Surpassing Fernando Alonso, Raikkonen broke the mark at 53,009 miles...
That's more than twice around the planet !
It's hard not to love the Ice man, he embodies the true no nonsense racer spirit, free from the commercial handlers and a man to himself. I believe he would fit into any generation of drivers past or present.

That's a great quote from Kimi! My daughter got a t-shirt with that quote on it.

Two of my favorites.
“Suddenly the steering wheel was in my hands. I tried to put it back on, but it was too late. I was just wondering where I was going to end up.”
Interviewer: “The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you?”
Kimi: “It protects my head.”

I also like the picture of him pointing to the red light at the end of the pit road after Louis Hamilton ran into his stopped Ferrari. Don't remember which track this was at. Would love to hear what he had to say.
