Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Kimi burst into F1, many people critized him, as they thought he wasn't experienced enough. How many races had he driven before F1?

Answer: 23

Apart from karting, nearly all these were in Formula Renault. Many drivers were annoyed by this fact because most of them had gone through Formula Ford, Formula 3 and Formula 3000 to get an F1 drive, whereas Kimi did it in one big jump.

2. When was he born?

Answer: October 17th, 1979

At the moment, there are only two more younger drivers on the grid than him - Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button.

3. When and where did he win his first race?

Answer: Malaysia 2003

He very nearly won it in France 2002. He was leading but slipped on some oil in the closing laps, which allowed Michael Schumacher to go through and win the race. When he won in Malaysia 2003, he was the second youngest driver ever to win a race.

4. Which team did he debut with?

Answer: Sauber

He was noticed by Peter Sauber, who let him test the Sauber. Peter was so impressed Kimi got the drive with Nick Heidfeld as his teammate.

5. It was thought that he won the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix, but in actual fact Fisichella did.

Answer: True

The stewards awarded Kimi the win, but it turned out that Fisichella did because it was thought that Fisichella passed Kimi on the last lap before the race was stopped, which does not count. This was not the case, however, due to a timing error.

6. Who said this: 'I am not afraid of Kimi but he definitely one of the strongest rivals I have come up against' ?

Answer: Michael Schumacher

Kimi has been a big part of the media, some good, some bad. Ron Dennis has nicknamed him 'The Iceman'

7. Kimi has also been dubbed 'the second Flying Finn'. Who was the first?

Answer: Mika Hakkinen

They were both born in the same place, Espoo in Finland, and have both been very quick on the track. Mika Hakkinen is now retired, of course, and Kimi debuted in 2001.

8. What is his brother's name?

Answer: Rami

Kimi and his brother were always competing against each other. When Rami got his first kart, Kimi would drive it at full speed and often crash it! Rami became a Rally-driver.

9. What is his middle name?

Answer: Matias

Bet you didn't know that!

10. Kimi got engaged to _______ in 2002?

Answer: Jenni Dahlman

He actually met his first girlfriend, Hanna on a blind date.
