Robin Raikkonen, the seven-year-old son of the 2007 world champion, is following in his father’s footsteps and is serious about karting. We talked about his first successes last autumn, but the young pilot does not stop training in the winter.
Gino Rosato, who has worked for Ferrari for many years and is one of Kimi’s best friends, shared on social media several photos taken last weekend at 7 Laghi Kart, an hour’s drive from Milan.
In one of them we see Robin in the company of daddy and Gino, who incidentally is the boy’s godfather. On another Robin drives his kart and on the third he is already signing autographs. He even has his own fan club!
Not surprisingly, Rosato Raikkonen Jr. compared to his famous father: “A wonderful day in the company of this family! I witnessed how little As (Kimi’s son’s full name is Robin As Matthias Raikkonen) completed 110 laps!
I feel like I’ve seen it all before: he’s very calm, not very social, and he always looks like he’s a little bored. But as soon as he gets behind the wheel of the car, as in the case of his father, the magic begins: on the track he is very, very fast and it is clear that he has a natural talent. Say what you will, but let Formula 1 get ready: we’re going!”
