About this listen
Kimi Räikkönen is the Finnish superstar Formula One driver with a reputation for being fast on the track and silent off it – until now!
In this superb and authorised portrait of Räikkönen, Kari Hotakainen gets to reveal the side of the man that few beyond his close family and friends have ever seen. Enigmatic and private, Ferrari’s former world champion driver rarely opens up to outsiders, but he granted Hotakainen exclusive access to his world and to his way of thinking. It ensures that this will be an audiobook that will delight all fans of motorsport, who have long revered the Finn.
The Unknown Kimi Räikkönen takes the reader into the heart of the action at grands prix around the world, behind the scenes as race strategies are planned, and opens up the private side of his life that he normally guards so carefully.
With all the cult appeal of I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the raw excitement of Formula One and the insight of the best biographies, this is an audiobook every sports fan will want to treasure.©2018 Kari Hotakainen (P)2018 Simon & Schuster UK

Great book!
The only way this book could be better is if it were read by Kimi himself.

Different
It's a different kind of biography but then Kimi is a different type of person. I enjoyed the book overall.
Well paid sports stars ( they do earn it ) have a very different lifestyle the the rest of us punters. Recommend you give it a go.

longer than I thought. but a great story
I think the writer who did was okay. the story of kimi was good but the interpretation by the writer just didn't make it sound that authentic.
A good read either way. The last chapter had really good quotes that really does sum up kimi.

OK. Not the best choice of narrator
Overall OK but to be honest the choice of narrator didn't feel right for the kind of listener who would be a Kimi fan. The content was sometimes interesting but was hoping to learn more of the "unknown" than I already knew based on following his career and his life on social media

Decent
Lacks depth. Something is missing maybe structure or a sense of the big picture. Still a good read but compared to JYS or Damon Hills books it just lacks the magic.
