The shocking story of Kimi Raikkon: I was drunk for 16 days. It was normal.

It's known by all that Kimi Raikkonen is not one of those Formula Unos pilots who prefer to talk a lot, much less about himself. When you give an interview (and that happens to be mandatory), you talk very little.

But the real “Iron Man” is only for close friends and of course for family. The Finnish pilot has done this best in publishing his biography “Kim Raikkonen unknown”, in which he tells countless stories of his life and confirmed this in an interview for Motorsport.com, broadcast Periscope.

A special thing I did? I've been drunk for 16 days, the 2007 World Champion of Ferrari is kidding. To think I had forgotten all about it. It happened during the 2013 championship. Between the Grand Prize of Bahrain and that of Spain, I have been constantly drinking. Let's just say we just passed Europe and had a little fun. Is something wrong? There's nothing wrong with this. It was very normal back then, and it really happened. It wasn't the only time I've done such a thing”

Even though only six years have passed, Kimi Raikkonen “re” feels changed as a human.

Be honest, after 16 days of drinking, I was no longer comfortable with myself. Today, in life, there are very important things. I already have a family and spend time with my children, and my wife is really essential”, he said.

Another important moment of the Finnish pilot's life has been that of rally.

It's not really a race, you don't have a direct opponent, you fight only against the clock, it's fun. Even when I flew to NASCAR, I felt good, since in those races I appreciate the body duel. I've often wondered if I'd still like to race and if the competition was back”, it's true.

The book reports are bad.

To better understand, a presentation has been made, and I spent the night before reading my book. I knew what it contained, of course, because I had read some parts, but I don't usually read. I've had to do it under compulsion at school, starting to read different books, but not finishing anyone because it was very boring for me. Not because of them, but I think reading, it's stupid”

Kimmy Raikkonen is really a unique character in the Form 1 world and it's not one you can put in line. Iron Man”! /Periscope. com/
