Ferrari Pay an Ode to Their Champion Kimi Raikkonen Ahead of His Final Bow

Kimi Raikkonen is a Formula One legend and will be having his last race in the sport at this year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. An iconic moment in the Finn’s career was when he won his first title back in 2007 with Ferrari.

Now, as the Alfa Romeo driver is prepared to part ways with the grid, the Italian team have dedicated a post to the Finnish driver before the final race of his F1 career. What is more touching is Kimi’s reply to the post, thanking the Italian for the love and support he received when he drove for them.

The Iceman’s final race of his F1 career

Earlier this year, when Kimi announced he would be retiring at the end of the season, the F1 community was heartbroken, as he is an iconic driver on the grid.

This season, the Alfa Romeo driver has picked up just ten points from the races so far. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix being his last race, Kimi will be hoping that he could score his final F1 points and take the Swiss-based team ahead in the constructor’s championship.
