Today Kimi Raikkonen celebrates his 44th birthday and celebrates with his family in Milan. His wife, the mother of their three children, shared a romantic photo on social networks, congratulating Kimi and calling him “the love of my life.”
But the Finnish driver is loved in his own way by motorsport fans around the world, although the 2007 champion retired from Formula 1 almost two years ago. He is also remembered in the teams he competed for and in whose cars he won races – in total he has 21 wins.
For example, at McLaren, Raikkonen was congratulated on his birthday and they pulled an old photo from the archives that captured him in the cockpit of a race car made entirely… of ice! Iceman, i.e. ‘Ice Man’ is Kimi’s famous nickname, and he liked it so much that not only was it on his racing helmets, but the Finn even had such a tattoo.
“Congratulations to The Iceman, motorsport legend and former McLaren driver Kimi Raikkonen – he turns 44 today!” – this was the commentary on this historic photo.
Of course, the Scuderia did not stay aside either and published a poster dedicated to the driver who is the last to win the championship title behind the wheel of a Ferrari car.
Of course, the editors of F1News.ru join in congratulations!
