He said that he like to do thinks the way he thinks are right and expressed his opinion that you can’t be someone else for long other than yourself.

“I do things the way I think they are right. I don’t care about the rest,” said Kimi Raikkonen.

“People probably like that I present myself as I actually am. There are people who like me, there are also people who don’t like me, that’s totally okay. I’m not here to curry favor. I also don’t like all the people I meet. That’s a normal story,”  Kimi Raikkonen added.
