However, Raikkonen did not reply to just one random group chat. The Iceman replied to multiple group chats as fans shared screenshots on Twitter.

Raikkonen asked his fans a question, “Is it legal?” in one of the Instagram groups. Not sure about the context of the question, but surely couldn’t be the Red Bull-Aston Martin debate, could it?
The Finn was notorious for his blunt replies to reporters throughout his career. But that is obviously not the case when he’s talking to his fans. He even commented “Nice helmet” in a different Instagram group chat about what appears to be Carlos Sainz’s helmet.

Raikkonen was the last Ferrari driver to win a world championship title with them. And this was back in 2007. Ferrari is in the fight again for the world championship this season and could bring home the championship for the first time since Raikkonen.

They will conduct the match on the 24th of May, the same week as the Monaco Grand Prix. It will be interesting to see if Raikkonen will attend the Monaco Grand Prix as well. Especially after declaring, “I may never set foot in the paddock again.”
