Kimi honoured in BBC Tribute

In celebration of Kimi Raikonnen's 2007 World Championship victory, the BBC will be airing a special documentary celebrating the Finnish driver's road to F1 success.

Titled "Kimi - A Life In the Grip of Alcohol", is an artistic look at Kimi's life with never before seen home video footage of Raikonnen; who uses a video diary to express what life is like with his alcoholic friend Mika.

Kimi drinks up to 15 pints of lager a day and often goes AWOL on extended binges. He started drinking 20 years ago, a problem brought on by geographical nascency and further fueled by unreliable race machinary. The doco is also shot through revolutionary filter techniques which can accurately depict Kimi's exact state of inebriation.

The documentary airs this Friday at 8:30 pm.
