Little Robin Raikkonen – The Iceboy – stole the hearts of the Formula 1 paddock at the 2018 Hungarian Grand Prix and after his father, Kimi Raikkonen finished third, the lad was clearly in good spirits which even prompted smiles from the normally taciturn Ferrari driver.
Three-year-old Robin accompanied by his mother Minttu delighted the paddock at Hungaroring and after the race sprayed his father with water in celebration, but his father is hoping that his kid does not follow in his footsteps to become a racing driver. However, that might be in vain as the youngster clearly shows that he has similar DNA to his father, always keen for a party and a soft spot for ice-cream!
Nevertheless, the 2007 Formula 1 World Champion said, “Let’s hope he is not too enthusiastic and wants to start karting. That’s not the best idea…”
Later, Robin sporting a Ferrari cap got a chance to savour the podium with a spray of water, antics which Raikkonen senior clearly enjoyed, “Of course it was nice for him. Robin is at an age when he will remember these things.”
