VIDEO: Kimi ‘Iceman’ Raikkonen strangely endangers an F1 teammate with freezing temperatures

Kimi Räikkönen, known for his “ice cold” yet funny personality, always lives up to his image. Even if it freezes his Alfa Romeo team-mate Antonio Giovinazzi. The duo continue to have the most underrated relationship on the grid as Raikkonen bullies their junior for another hilarious moment in the books.

The Finnish driver seems to thrive in the cold; the race in sunny Austin must have been difficult for Raikkonen. So much so that Giovinazzi couldn’t take it! A video recently shared by Alfa Romeo shows the two drivers hilariously fighting over the air conditioning in Kimi’s car.

When Antonio raised the temperature in the car, Raikkonen slapped his hand away. “This is my car,” argued Raikkonen as the Italian continued to struggle to turn on the fan on his side. Giovinazzi cried helplessly for his side of the car, but the ice man didn’t move. “You either take all or nothing.”

Gio gave up and looked for his car, but Kimi then refused to let him get out. Although Antonio prevailed in the end, Raikkonen was disappointed.

With Kimi leaving the sport after the five races of the season, F1 will miss content like this one from Kimi. Rarely is someone caught talking when Kimi is talking, it is never worth ignoring.

Kimi Raikkonen is ready for retirement

There is no doubt that the sport will miss the calm Finn. In contrast, Raikkonen knows that he will have no problem slowing down. The champion will end his career as the most experienced racing driver in F1 history. But he will not miss the hectic rush for years.

Cooly explained to Raikkonen why the excitement doesn’t need to be replaced. “I don’t think I have to replace it. It’s a very normal thing we do, at least for me. I’ve been doing this for many, many years, so in many ways it’s no different than driving a car. “

Instead of the Formula 1 machine, Raikkonen is looking forward to the thrill of fatherhood. “At home with the children can of course be really exciting sometimes, you never know!”

While Raikkonen is looking forward to his break, F1 will enjoy the last five laps with their 2007 world champion. When he’s away from exercising, Kimi can at least drink as much as he wants!
