Spending parts of his extended break karting with his children, Kimi Raikkonen has revealed he “cannot keep up” with his son Robin.
Raikkonen’s wife, Minttu, has been showing off her family’s karting exploits on social media with both children, Robin and Rianna, getting into racing.
Robin, it seems, has picked up his father’s flair for speed. So much so that Minttu said in one Instagram video that it “looks like Robin is faster”.
Kimi Raikkonen concedes he is, at least in some situations.
“I don’t know how to compare [him] – it’s to enjoy it,” the Alfa Romeo driver told Motorsport.com.
“Some days we’ll do more laps than others, but it’s like with kids, one day they like to do one thing and the next day another. As long as he enjoys it, that’s the main thing. He’s been getting a bit faster. With me in a rental kart, I cannot keep up any more. I need a bit more horsepower. Apart from that, it’s been good.”
Unfortunately for Kimi Raikkonen, but fortunately for Formula 1 fans, the extended break is finally over.
More than 100 days after the season was scheduled to get underway in Australia, Formula 1 will go racing this weekend at the Red Bull Ring.
