Kimi Raikkonen is a Formula One legend and will be competing in 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 and only 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 team for the love and support he received when he drove for them.
