Kimi Raikkonen takes dig on Lewis Hamilton and other Formula 1 drives lifestyle

Kimi Raikkonen takes a huge dig at Lewis Hamilton and other drivers on his Instagram by comparing his lifestyle to the rest of the roster.

Kimi Raikkonen takes a dig at the lifestyle of the whole Formula 1 roster by comparing their lifestyle and dressing sense to the drivers of the previous generation.

He further goes onto tell that he is the lone survivor of the previous breed of drivers and been upholding the sacred way of living of theirs by following their footsteps.

This was posted by Raikkonen on Instagram, in a series of two stories. In the first photograph, he posted the photo of Lewis Hamilton with his usual scooter wearing an unconventional dress.

Whilst comparing him with a shirtless James Hunt holding a beer. He wrote “Evolution of a Formula 1 driver.” In the second story, Raikkonen uploads his own picture with a cigarette in hand and wrote: “Don’t worry, not all hope is over yet.”

Clearly, his message over here is that he is determined to uphold the classic image of the F1 champion as a dashing hobby-driver playboy with a keen sense of party rocking rather than style.

Nobody as of now made a response to Raikkonen’s post on social media, and it seems unlikely too.

Kimi Raikkonen in his last days at F1

The Iceman is a Formula 1 veteran and probably the most experienced driver among the current batch of the competitors. Though, it is probably going to be his last days as a Formula 1 driver, with the retirement approach.

He is maybe going to be replaced by an FDA driver next season with Mick Schumacher being one of the favourites to grab a seat among his contemporaries.
