Kimi Raikkonen took a popular victory at the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on this day four years ago. This was the Finn’s first win since returning from his two-year hiatus with Lotus.
Raikkonen also became an instant with his radio messages. When updated on the gap to Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso behind him, the 2007 world champion snapped: “Just leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!”
When reminded to keep his tyres warm behind the Safety Car, the Iceman gave an equally gold response: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm doing that all the time. You don't have to remind me every 10 seconds!”
Quality.
