Kimi Raikkonen may c🅷urrently be enjoying some time off from Formula 1 during the sport's summer break, but that did not keep the Finn away from the racetrack as his young son, Robin, got behind the wheel of a go-kart of the first time.
Raikkonen uploaded a series of pictures and one video of his son sampling a go-kart with the caption "ACEMAN BEG꧅INS" (his own nickname being 'Iceman'🔜), starting him on the right track towards a possible career in racing.
Kimi Raikkonen may currently be enjoying some time off from Formula 1 during the sport's summer break, but that did not keep the Finn away from the racetrack as his young son, Robin, got behind the wheel of a go-kart of the fౠirst time.
Raikkonen uploaded a series of pictures and one video of his son sampling a go-kart with the caption "ACEMAN BEGINS" (his own nickname being 'Iceman'), starting him on the right track towards a possible💝 career in racing.
Raikkonen talked back i༒n April about Robin's burgeoning interest in cars and motorsport, and was open to supporting a possible career in racing for his son - but joked it would be eas꧒ier if it remained a hobby.
"He enjoys cars, but more bikes right now. But who knows, today the꧙y like one thing and tomorrow it is completely 180 degrees 🍌on something else," Raikkonen said.
"Probably in the summer we will take him in a go-kart for the first time and if♛ he likes it, he can do it. But you never know with the kids - one day it is this and the next day it is that.
"I don't mind, if it only comes as a hobby then it is a great h🍎obby for t📖hem, and it is probably easier for me."
