Kimi Raikkonen son takes an epic dig at his father
Kimi Raikkonen brought out the safety car at the start of the second lap in Portimao after he crashed into Alfa Romeo teammate Antonio Giovinazzi. Raikkonen claimed that he had been distracted by changing some button controls on his steering wheel, and as a result, did not realize he was drifting into Giovinazzi’s rear wheel. While speaking after the race, the Alfa Romeo driver said he had missed the post-race debrief but was on the receiving end of some comments from his son, Robin.
After the Portuguese Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen revealed what his son told him, "My son was telling me that: 'You always tell me to look forward' when he’s driving a go-kart. He gave me a bit of that..." While it is strange and hilarious that his son mocked him in that fashion, Kimi Raikkonen deserved all the blame as it was an uncharacteristic mistake from him.
