Kimi Raikkonen and his wife Minttu shared brilliant news with the entire F1 community earlier this week after the latter gave birth to their third child. Baby Grace is now the latest addition to the Raikkonen family, and this news has warmed the hearts of all fans of the Iceman.

Raikkonen is one of the biggest F1 stars in history, who became loved because of his unique personality in addition to his racing skills. At the end of the 2021 season, however, he decided to call time on his illustrious 20-year career. His retirement has left behind a huge void in the F1 paddock, but Raikkonen left because he wanted to spend more time with his family.

Over the last few months, we have seen some snippets into his daily life, where he takes an active interest in what his children are doing. With time, he also announced that he and his wife were expecting a third child, who finally came into the world on 13th June 2023.

Kimi Raikkonen’s wife Minttu posted a story on her Instagram account, where she announced the birth of their daughter, Grace. In the picture, Grace can be pictured in Minttu’s arms, with the entire Raikkonen family- Kimi, Robin, and Rianna embracing her.

Fans took to social media to congratulate Kimi and Minttu Raikkonen on the birth of Grace, the newest addition to the Iceman’s family. “Congratulations to Minttu and Kimi Raikkonen on the birth of their third child and second daughter, Grace!” WelshSwan wrote on Twitter.

It seems as though good news keeps coming for the Raikkonen family. Over the last few weeks, we’ve heard news of both Robin and Rianna Raikkonen’s respective racing careers taking off after some huge milestone achievements. However, things can’t get any better than this, as they welcome baby Grace into this world.

Kimi Raikkonen’s children following in his footsteps?

Rianna too, made her father proud after an incredible P3 finish earlier this year, which made Kimi publicly state how happy he was with his two children. Fans too, were happy to see Raikkonen’s children shining early on.
