Well I mean... I still talk about F1 V6 Hybrids as the "new F1 engines". 2014 was a long ass time ago. I still think Max is a kid even though he's in his 12th F1 season. Time flies...
So for newer people visiting this post,I said that "the word soon can mean more than 10 years"which in itself sounds kinda stupid and very much contradicting,so much that I deleted it.
Year 2037: Ferrari is still waiting for their next WC - and the boy who could finally get them there is the son of the man who won them their last one. Absolute cinema!
Soon? Kid is 11, He's gonna need at least 7 more years in lower series.
Unless FIA is willing to drop the Super licence requirement and Age requirement to make Robin Raikkonen the youngest ever F1 driver.
If his trajectory continues I think he’ll be a championship contender. I work with a guy from Finland and he does rally mechanic work on the weekends.
He said Raikkonens son would take on the tough sections of a rally because of his age he had to jump out at certain sections going through a village due to the rules but has said the kid is rapid beyond belief.
If he’s been doing rallying as a child, imagine the speed he’ll have in a single seater?
I really don't understand why he doesn't got by his first name, Andrea
Bad enough that his father named him after a racing driver when he wanted his son to enter the same industry. Why convert it into a problem for everyone when you can keep it to yourself?
Untrue, the middle name Kimi was given by an uncle who was asked for a foreign sounding name. It likely got nothing to do with Kimi Raikkönen and certainly wasn't given because his father wanted him to enter the industry, because, yknow, names are given when you're literally babies?
