The classic car talks about Mick Schumacher’s rookie season. “It’s hard for him to shine because the car isn’t really fast. On the other hand, that’s good for him too.
“Because people know the car is not good. If he still drives strong races and shows his speed, that’s positive. ” [translated using Google Translate.]
Kimi also mentioned the pressures of being the son of a legend. ”Of course, he is under a lot of pressure with the name. The worse car makes the start easier for him because expectations are low. It gives him more time to learn things. “
The name Raikkonen – Kimi speaks about his children
Kimi Räikkönen drove with motorsport legends such as Jos Verstappen and Michael Schumacher. Both paved the way for their sons in racing. Kimi Raikkonen was asked if we would see another version of him on the track in the future. Kimi replies, “I will definitely be promoting anything you enjoy. No matter what it is. But I won’t force anything. “

His son does laps on the racetrack, apparently in karting. “He is a passionate go-kart driver and loves everything that has an engine.
“Sometimes he does his laps for an entire afternoon, sometimes less because he feels like doing something else. The same applies to my younger daughter, who is also slowly becoming interested in everything that moves. ”
While we can’t wait to follow in her father’s footsteps the little “ice cubes”, adding Kimi to his list for another year will also be a pleasure.
