What was your first simulator experience? Like, do you remember? Like a video game or whatever, like where it started for you?
Well, I remember I was like three or four years old when my dad was still racing in F1. That I saw this like little mock up, like cockpit, and I was trying to squeeze into it. I was of course, way too small, but they found a way with pillows that I could– that I could drive basically. Someone was controlling the pedals and I was steering, already. So that's my– that's my first memory.
max: i know he'll brake because i have a wife and two kids
Happy Simi day!
bonus:
"I promised Kimi that one day I would beat him [at badminton]. We're both getting older. I'm eight years younger than him, so at the latest when he's really old and I'm just a younger old man, I'll beat him in that game." - Seb, 2008
"He said to me that he is gonna beat me when I get older, but so far it hasn't happened." - Kimi, 2021
"I knew Kimi coming up through the go karting ranks people already saying great things, so I was keeping an eye on it. I think what is impressive; naturally quick, what I like he's level headed, calm."
"I think those are great qualities to have, and I was never in doubt that podium would come this year. He had a few unlucky races, one of them in the sprint was also my fault with the pit stop but it was just a matter of time and I am very happy that the podium happened for him. Gives you more confidence, a nice boost."
"It will only get better. So many things will come at you in your rookie season, you'll learn from the weaker and good races.."
"In the coming years, we will see a lot more from Kimi."
