Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2012
This was Kimi Raikkonen’s first win since his return to Formula One and Lotus’ first ever win, since their return too!
More than the drama on the track, it was Kimi’s iconic conversation with his race engineer on the radio that has become the stuff of legends!
2 titbits stand out – “Yes, yes, yes. I am doing all the tyres, you don’t have to remind me every time” when the Safety Car was out and his engineer repeatedly asked him to keep his tyres warm. The second and more iconic one was, “Leave me alone, I know what I am doing.” when once again his race engineer tried to do his job by telling him how far away Fernando Alonso was behind him!
