Remarkable fact : Kimi is the only current driver on the grid that Murray did TV commentary on . He did partial commentary of Alonso's and Raikkonen's rookie season and his last TV commentary before retirement was Mika Hakkinen's last win. He did also of course commentate on Max's dad. Where has all that time gone.
