Sebastian Vettel | Hungarian GP | 2013
Do you fancy Fernando as a team mate for next season?
SV: I prefer Kimi.
Why's that?
SV: Uhm... I think uh... need to be careful now, but uh nothing against Fernando, I really respect him a lot as a driver, but uhm... I think I respect Kimi on-track, off-track because he's always been very straight with me and uh, from that point of view it might be a bit easier.
idk about you but this gives me vibes of two boybands pitted against each other in the media
also these two are secretly dating
Study of Kimi’s tattoos
Smiley sun tattoo (right arm) 2001-2002
We go back to sauber Kimi in 2001 when he first entered f1 and we can see that he didn’t have the sun smiley tattoo yet
Testing, Monza (July, 3-6th)
So when tf the tattoo appeared?
Mclaren era (2002 specifically)
the first picture is the Malaysia GP 2002 (second race of the season) and the second picture is from the Brazilian Grand Prix March 31, 2002 (third race of the season) so I don’t know exactly when he got that but it was something in between the last part of 2001 and the start of 2002 (I couldn’t find proof of the first race of that season).
Tribal tattoo 2007 (right arm)
He got the tribal tattoo on his right arm (rip smiley sun tattoo, we miss you) after he won his debut race for Ferrari in Australia [March, 18th], it was designed by him completely but some rumors said Ferrari was against it. Also you can kind of see some remnants of the smiley sun tattoo underneath [second picture].
About Ferrari being against the tattoo Jean Todd then said… but we know Kimi dgaf
“I read about it. We had dinner on Thursday and since it wasn’t mentioned I didn’t even notice the whole thing. What is the most important for me is that the people here in this team are happy. If Kimi would be happy with a tattoo on his face and would ask for my opinion I would advise him to put it in some place that is less visible because otherwise he might get some problems of it later. There is so much talk – with a smile and without a smile – but what is important is that everyone is concentrated on doing his job. With or without a tattoo. I don’t care. If a sponsor would complain about the tattoo I would rather change the sponsor just to keep Kimi happy”
Iceman tattoo 2007-2008
Kimi already had the Iceman tattoo and even his helmet had the Iceman lettering in the first race of the season [Australian GP 2008] but he didn’t have the tattoo in the last race of 2007 (first picture) so we can say it was obviously for his championship and he got that during the summer break(?)
Robin tattoo 2017
He got the Robin tattoo around January 2017 and we know that bc Minttu posted this picture hehehe (she got hacked and that acc doesn’t exist anymore)
Look ouuuut! Heh! Ahahahaha 😄
Their gestures look like exes who struck a conversation and immediately regretted it.
"He wants that cookie so bad" Fernando version.
No one is taking him away from you dude
Full pic down here I guess
I didn't realize this trend was from 2023 until I went back to the original post to copy the link. Oh well.
baby-faced teenage karter and part-time mechanic Kimi sassing actual F1 driver Jarno Trulli is the funniest thing i've read all week (x)
the exact mannerisms of the evilest gay guy you’ll ever meet in your life… what was he plotting
OMG...we are literally the same (he is a man in his forty and I am just a teenage girl)
I love how Kimi logged into his account just to like this post 😂
Even he’s aware of the Oscar comparisons lol
