Raikkonen takes first career pole
Written by Josh Katinger · June 28, 2003
Kimi Raikkonen took the first pole position of his career in qualifying for the European Grand Prix today. His first pole will beautifully match the pole that is up Kimi’s ass during press conferences. Does this kid ever smile? Kimi, you just won your first pole, how about a fist pump or some sort of happy emotion!?
The brothers Schumacher, Michael and Ralf, were second and third respectively. Full field below…
