When things don’t go that way, it’s understandable that drivers get angry. This is the time when the Alfa Romeo driver presented his emotions on the radio. Kimi’s race engineer wasn’t surprised to see his anger vent on the radio, but instead asked if he was using his native language.
Kimi said: “Vittu!” To which his engineer replied: “That was probably Finnish?”. Raikkonen replied: “I pressed the wrong button.”

How did Kimi do in qualifying?
The Finn had a lackluster start to his Brazilian Grand Prix as he was thirteenth in the first practice session. The 42-year-old wanted to rehabilitate himself in qualifying, but could not achieve the desired effect.
In the qualifying session, Kimi made it out of Q1, but couldn’t get out of the second lap and managed to find herself in fourteenth place on the timesheet.
