The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen RRP £20

Website: simonandschuster.co.uk Renowned Finnish novelist and screenwriter Kari Hotakainen offers readers a rare glimpse into the life of the notoriously reclusive, and monosyllabic, Kimi Raikkonen.

The 2007 Formula 1 world champion’s childhood, thoughts on Ron Dennis, personal life and more are set against a backdrop of neverpreviously-seen photographs from the driver’s own collection. As Hotakainen also won the trust of Ferrari, The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen takes you behind the scenes at grands prix as race strategies are formulated. Complaints about the direct, and therefore shakey, translation from Finnish are fair, but given it’s billed as ‘the first and last authorised’ book on Raikkonen, it’s likely to be the best we’re ever going to get.
