    He’s had an amazing career, and is still every bit a character. I can’t imagine we’ve heard the last from him, even though he’ll be done with F1.

    yay
    Total legend.

    As drivers become ever more polished as pre-programmed marketing robots for corporations and F1 becomes more and more diluted and sanitized for mass consumption, his retirement reminds me that an era I much preferred is truly coming to a close. Big bummer. May he enjoy life, family and his other hobbies from here on out!

    Yeah, young drivers today can't enjoy life because it may piss of sponsors. Like drinking beer, party, hoes, eveything. Now everything is put on social media and their career can be over very quick.

    Having lost interest in F1 quite a while ago I caught this bit of news late.
    Best to Kimi, a real character.
